Stendhal poetically and tragically showed how far egoism, which became a characteristic of that time, had gone: the image of Vanin Vanini demonstrates this. Vanina Vanini is doomed to misunderstand her lover. But in return, she receives the burning hatred of her lover, who cannot forgive her for what she has done. Missirilli gives herself into the hands of the executioners out of a sense of duty, based on boundless love for the motherland, and Vanina Vanini, almost without hesitation, betrays Pietro's comrades in order to completely own the heart of her beloved, to keep him near her. In their passions they are romantically reckless, but their recklessness - despite the similarity of external manifestations - is of a different nature. Missirilli, who devoted himself to the revolutionary struggle, and the expressive, energetic Vanina Vanini are typical Stendhal heroes. There is a clash of two passions, Pietro and his beloved, even in love, find themselves on opposite sides of the 'social barricade'. Both Missirilli and Vanina Vanini are inseparable from their time, and the originality of their personal situation is ultimately generated by the socio-political situation in Italy. The characters of the characters are deliberately 'romanticized'. But Vanina Vanini falls passionately in love with the young Carbonari Pietro Missirilli, a fighter against tyranny. Being an aristocrat by birth, she treats young people of her circle with contempt because of their inability to do great things. This girl has a fiery gaze and a passionate soul. Vanina Vanini is a wealthy Italian princess.
