But then, under pressure from his father, she renounces that love to redeem their family honour. Violetta surrenders all hopes of happiness and of reviving her failing health. She is reunited with Alfredo just before she dies, leaving the cynical and hedonistic Parisian society to ponder on the immensity of her sacrifice.
