Berlioz's love experience was as bleak as his artistic career. In September 1827, the British Charles Cairnbull Theater Company came to Paris to perform Shakespeare's masterpieces. Berlioz would attend every performance. He was deeply attracted by the wonderful performance and was almost fascinated. In his mind, Juliet, Ophelia, and Desdemona in Shakespeare's plays are undoubtedly Miss Smithson (players of the above three heroines) in real life. He transformed her into the most beautiful angel in his mind and imagined her as his lifelong partner. He wrote letters to the angel in his heart feverishly, one after another, with passionate feelings and fierce words, and he pursued Miss Smithson crazily. In spite of Miss Smithson's indifference, he rushed backstage and knelt down in front of Miss Smithson to woo her in public! Of course, Miss Smithson was indifferent, and the troupe colleagues smiled and asked Berlioz to leave the stage. Later the musician believed the despicable slanders about her, and he fell into extreme misery. This stimulated his creative inspiration, and he created his first large-scale masterpiece "Fantasy Symphony". In this piece of music, he describes Miss Smithson as an ugly image to express his resentment.

This heavy blow made Berlioz unable to live a normal life. He decided to find a girl at random and get married quickly. So he chose the lover of one of his "good buddies" - the young female pianist Miss Mok. Regardless of the existence of Miss Mork's boyfriend, he violently pursued Miss Mork with extraordinary courage, and finally won Miss Mork's heart. Miss Mork's mother was cunning and cunning. She first readily agreed to the marriage, then repeatedly delayed it and took the opportunity to let Berlioz go abroad to agree to his engagement to Miss Mork. So Berlioz embarked on a journey to Rome. In Rome, Berlioz unexpectedly received a letter from Mork's mother breaking off the engagement, saying that Mork had married another rich and desirable man. Berlioz was furious and immediately had murderous intentions. He quickly purchased a pistol, poison, a dagger and a set of gorgeous women's clothes (he planned to dress up as a man, which would make it easier to move), and then embarked on his journey back home. He wanted to kill Mock's entire family and her husband. This genius lunatic didn't get what he wanted. This time he was captured by the police as a Carbonari agent and was taken back to Rome. When he took action for the second time, all his belongings were stolen by thieves on the way. But he did not give up because of this, but returned to Rome without saying a word, repacked his things, and set off again. This time he came to Nice, a port city at the southeastern tip of France. The beautiful scenery here enabled him to create the masterpiece "King Lear" that will last forever, and the holy water of art washed away his revengeful heart.

When he returned to Paris, he was lucky enough to meet Miss Smithson again. The two were officially married on October 3, 1833, and the wedding was held grandly at the British Embassy in France. Their luck in meeting also led to their unhappiness in marriage. When Berlioz met Miss Smithson for the second time in Paris, she was already old and frail and deeply in debt. After the marriage, Berlioz discovered that she had no resemblance to the Miss Smithson in his imagination, and that she did not understand him at all. After nine years, he had to leave Smithsonian. The romance ended painfully.

In 1854, Berlioz married for the second time, to the poor Spanish singer Maria Recio. She forced Berlioz to solicit performances for her and arrange roles for her, so he made many jokes, but he loved her very much. Their life was not a happy one, and Recio was frail and sick, which made the artist who was already financially strapped even worse and was heavily in debt. Reeseio died of illness in 1862, and Berlioz suffered terribly. In February 1867, a bigger blow hit him - his 33-year-old son Lusu, who had been sailing at sea for many years, died of illness in America. Berlioz completely collapsed mentally and physically. On March 8, 1869, Berlioz passed away alone. Lonely in life, lonely in death.
