"True love" and evil fate are only for a moment

I originally took the title as a thought, but in the process of writing, I discovered that the most decisive thing is not the subjective idea, but the objective condition.
Desire, all that damned desire!
Just, yes.
We are all greedy. Oscar's last words before committing suicide reveal the most hypocritical part of human nature. The best thing is, simple and straightforward.
I believe Oscar and Mimi have always been in love, until the moment they died. I can't help but think of a story I once read: wearing a wedding dress and dying in love for you. The heroine learned that her former boyfriend was about to get married, and called her boyfriend home to trick him into drinking poisonous wine. Then she drank the glass of wine with her, and lay quietly in front of her boyfriend wearing a wedding dress.
I love you, you love me, it's a comedy.
I love you, you love her, she loves her, this is destined to be a tragic relationship.
But isn't the latter staged over and over again every day around us?
Oscar received a glance from the angel, and since then he has no other distractions, and he wants to find Mimi wholeheartedly. Doesn't he love her? He loves him more than anyone else, at least he wants her more than anyone else. They have spent the best time in love, they are inexhaustible in love, they quickly possess each other, quickly embrace each other, and quickly die. I have to use an analogy to say that love is like sand, the tighter it is, the faster it flows. Although I don't want to explain it with such a tragic tone, it's just that even life is like this, and it slowly goes to death from the moment he starts. This is a fact, to be recognized.
After all, men can't stand this "absurd", "lifeless" love and marriage. (What these two words I use here are the voices of men who are "suffered by love") Like the most common rhythm, love, indifference, and abandonment.
Women don't have to pretend to be pitiful. Maybe so far, this is just the simplest tragic story. Even if you describe the difficulty at the beginning as Xia Yuhe will go to Qianlong after many years, it is just a Qiong Yao drama that makes people cry.
You can never underestimate a woman's ability. You hurt her until her heart breaks, until her world collapses. She can only destroy you and you who built the world for her.
I admire the woman's perseverance (no pejorative meaning here), let's be positive, this is the story of a woman who supports a family as we often hear. So, I believe that cats have nine lives, but a woman's love is only once.
Mimi meets Fiona, and the two have a wonderful love. It's just sympathy, isn't it? Two equally forgotten women, there are too many similarities, all in this dance, all in this madness, all in this New Year's Eve music.
Oscar is a person, and he is the representative of most people, most people who are greedy and willing to pursue greed. He greedily asks for a passionate affair, and Mimi greedily asks for his love, isn't it all human nature. In the end he killed her and finally ended the show in such a fitting way. Fiona stood in Nigel's arms after all, and their marriage was preserved. Maybe they thought this was true love, but it was just overly frightened and dependent as always. From now on, at least she won't be like before. naive.
Because in reality, the most common development is that Nigel and Mimi had an extra-marital passion.
