This 1981 period drama centers on the historical figure of Marie Duplessis with a strong emphasis on traditional storytelling and character development. There's little evidence of forced representation or modern identity themes, as the casting and narrative align with historical context. It focuses on human drama and romance, not ideological messaging.

The show largely respects traditional values and historical settings. Religion, family, and established gender roles are depicted in the manner consistent with 19th-century French society. There are no overt efforts to revise history or undermine cultural pillars. If anything, it leans into the sensibilities of its era.

There is no apparent push for an ideological monoculture. The worldview is dictated by its historical context, allowing for pluralism in character motivations. Traditional perspectives aren’t mocked or villainized, all characters are given nuance fitting a drama of its time.
