Violetta is the opera's central figure, portrayed as vulnerable and torn between self-indulgence and love. She sacrifices her personal happiness and becomes a victim of the social mores of mid-19th-century bourgeois France. Her relationship with Alfredo is loving, and her scenes with him and his father reveal the emotional complexity of her role.
