The opening of "Manon Lescaut" introduces the narrator, who is reflecting on the story of the Chevalier des Grieux, promising the reader an engaging account of his tragic love for Manon. Through a series of dramatic encounters, the narrator recounts how des Grieux encounters a group of girls being taken to the Havre-de-Grâce, including the enigmatic Manon, who captivates him with her beauty and sorrow. Des Grieux is portrayed as deeply infatuated, willing to sacrifice everything for her, even as she is caught in a web of despair due to her impending fate.
