Discussion on Captain Corelli’s mandolin
1. ...
Like in most novels, love plays a key role in Captain Corelli’s mandolin. ... Of course she says yes and when he leave the two lovebirds promise each other to write while he’s gone. ... He sits in Pelagia’s house and she does not recognize him until her pet marten does. ... Pelagia’s love for Mandras is at that time reduced to contempt, while he fights with the dream of her.
With the Italians comes Captain Antonio Corelli. ... He asks to leave, but Pelagia’s father will not let him go. ... Captain Corelli survives the fire squad, but is heavily injured. ... He thinks it kinder to let him die, but Pelagia will not let Corelli loose. ... It is not until then, in Francesco’s dying hours that Carlo declares his love to Francesco, who tells Carlo he already knew. So while Carlo loved Francesco like a lover, Francesco loved Carlo enough as a brother not to let Carlo’s sexual orientation come between the two of them.
After Francesco’s death, Carlo also ends up on Cephallonia and is introduced to the captain who prefers music to war, Antonio Corelli. It is quite hard for Carlo to get acquainted with the careless life of Corelli’s division. But soon, he falls in love with his captain. He calls Corelli a small miracle and a kind of saint. ... He sees the Corelli as a person who stands above others, not only in rank, but also in morale.
