Themes[edit]

Love is Greater Than Death[edit]

The plot of Théophile Gautier's French, romantic short story, "La Morte Amoureuse" focuses on the idea that love can overcome death. Maybe put the citation here after 'death'? For example, when the protagonist, Romuald, is called to give last rights Last rites? to a great courtesan who has fallen; comma and not semi-colon? he recognizes her as Clarimonde. The same Clarimonde who had, earlier in the short story, fallen in love with Romuald at his ordination. He had also fallen in love with her that do Remove 'that do'?, so with the power of his love passing through his lips, Romuald kisses Clarimonde and brings her back to life.

Be sure to add citations to your proposed edit! Does the fact that Clarimonde is a vampire change this concept? Does Romuald's kiss truly bring her back to life or rather is she already alive and feigning death? Perhaps this concept explains why Clarimonde comes back to Romuald at the very end despite being turned to ashes.
