Henri de Guise
So, what's this guy's deal? He spends the whole film chasing and trying to win back Marie's love only to give up on her in the end. I didn't really understand the reasoning behind this. She was willing to give up on her marriage for him, but he was already engaged to another woman by then. My view on it was that Henri liked the chase of going after Marie when he didn't have her, but once he had her, he was looking elsewhere for his future prospects. I don't know if I understood the last scene between them properly with him saying something about his fortune having been lost since he turned down the first marriage proposal. So--what, does that mean he's poor now so he can only choose to marry a rich woman to regain his fortune? He chose money over love?
