The Night of Christmas & an Exotic Flower

In "The Night of Christmas," George Sand explores the clash between rationality and sentiment through the characters Max, a skeptic, and Peregrinus, a romantic, as they confront love and life lessons from a ghostly visitor on Christmas Eve. In "An Exotic Flower," the artist Julian's admiration for his neighbor, the widow Stella, blossoms into potential romance with the help of his cousin Mark. Both plays showcase Sand's keen insight into human emotions and relationships, highlighting her talent beyond her celebrated novels.
