Peony in Love: Ghosts, love-sickness, obsession
Considered the greatest Chinese opera, “The Peony Pavilion,” is loved by many all over the country. For some, this love leads to obsession.
For three love sick maidens, their love of the opera leads to a lifelong obsession, even in death.
“Peony in Love” is a novel by Lisa See and is based on a true story about three Chinese women who defied their society’s conventions, and wrote and published a book.
Foot bound and literate, their love for the opera moved them to write commentary and publish it.
The main character of the novel is Peony, a young Chinese aristocrat with bound feet, in an arranged marriage, and trapped in the Chen Family Villa.
She was obsessed with “The Peony Pavilion” ever since she was little, and her father fed this obsession by getting her every edition of the opera printed, against her mother’s wishes.
Her mother is afraid that Peony will go down the same road as so many other maidens have before, obsession with the opera that will lead to death.
