Prosper Merimee Prosper Merimee was born in Paris in 1803 to a

moderately successful painter, Leonor Merimee, and his wife, Anne.

Merimee’s mother was a painter as well as the granddaughter of Madame Leprince de Beaumont, who had written and published a version of the popular children’s story “Beauty and the Beast.”

Merimee began attending the Lycee Napoleon at the age of eight.

He showed promise in Latin and a few other subjects, but was generally considered an average student.

He taught himself Serbian, Russian, and Greek, and he had learned English at home from his parents.

After graduation from the Lycee, Merimee entered law school; after receiving his degree, he embarked on a lifelong career as a civil servant.

He became Minister of Historical Monuments in 1834. His earliest published works were two “hoaxes:” a

collection of supposedly Spanish plays and a volume of “Illyrian” (Albanian) ballads. Merimee also wrote travel books and journalism, and he translated the Russian poet Pushkin into French for the first time.

In 1870, the year that Merimee died, composer Georges Bizet adapted a Merimee story with a Spanish setting as an opera.

Point of viewThird Person Omniscient

Theme:Violence and Cruelty - is one of the theme that can easily be noticed in the story. Where, the father had killed his own son for the sake of his own reputation. Honor and Betrayal - Betrayal is the failure to recognize the bonds of loyalty, as when Fortunato gives up Gianetto for the sake of a shiny watch. Yet it is not a betrayal, according to the rules of vendetta, for Mateo to kill Fortunato for having revealed Gianetto for a price.

Unified ThemeViolence and Cruelty is not a pre-

requisite to honor you and establish a good reputation.
