I guess I still see the world in black and white in the sense that people earn their achievement and pay for their mistakes. This may explain why I have difficulty identifying with the three main characters in this opera. This is a story of a love triangle: Golaud married a mysterious girl, Melisande, he met in a deserted island, but Melisande was seen kissing Golaud's half brother Pelleas. I disagree that Golaud is portrayed as a jealous and unreasonable person. Why is he the one who is left in the world with a broken heart and the guilt? How can I sympathize with Pelleas and Melisande for their forbidden love and tragic death? This world is too complicated for me!
