This interpretation of ‘Carmen’ not only retells the story we are familiar with but is overlaid with another, more symbolic level. It can be seen as a struggle of opposites where each attempts to impose its will on the other with love as the tool. Carmen is the free spirit, fatally attractive with her devil-may-care callousness while Jose is the upright office who goes by the book. Jose, as Shakespeare said of another love-struck hero, ‘loved not wisely but too well’ so that his demand for complete devotion chokes Carmen’s exuberance. in the end, both attain their goals in an ironic twist – she can belong to no one else ever again except Jose even as her spirit is set free.
