Summary
Violetta, a courtesan afflicted with comsumption, falls in love with Aflredo, a man who has loved her for a year. Abandoning her former ways for her lover, Violetta is confronted by Alfredo's father, who begs her to give him up, as the family would be ruined otherwise. She does this, and returns to her previous life. Alfredo confronts Violetta with her seeming unfaithfulness, aggravating her weakened condition. The lovers are reunited at the end when Alfredo's father confesses he is the cause of their separation, but Violetta, already gravely ill, perishes in Alfredo's arms.
