The Blue Angel

The Blue Angel

In Blue Angel, The main characters were Lola and Professor Roth. Roth is a respected professor and Lola is a dancer and singer at a local speakeasy or bar. Roth sees his students frequently visiting the speakeasy and he goes there one night to confront them. When he gets there, he is seduced by Lola and falls in love with her. They begin an intimate relationship that his co-workers and principal soon find out about. He is then fired from his job. But this doesn't stop him from going to Lola and proposing to her. She accepts, but soon their relationship becomes difficult. Roth is unemployed and Lola is the only one earning an income. This brings distance and troubles in their relationship. Lola flirts with other men and Roth doesn't bring this up because he realizes he doesn't hold much weight in the relationship financially. Education levels also create trouble between them. Roth being an educated professor and Lola being a dancer and singer leave these two love birds on two different levels. In the end, Roth dies. 

This is classic lust at first sight. Roth saw someone he wanted and didn't think rationally. In my opinion, he was not in love, he was in lust. Once they both got to know each other and their daily lives had to become one, it soon became clear they were not such a great match after all and they were not as in love as they thought.
