No matter how much she warns them: “If you don’t love me, I love you; if I love you, watch out”, Carmen enthralls and enraptures men, making them forget duty and reason. And so it is that a smitten Don José loses his honour for the sake of a flower thrown by a woman who knows no law other than her own desire.
