		Mandras is acutely aware that his illiteracy and poor education prevents him from communicating with Pelagia on the same level.

		Mandras, his hands on his own sword, had seen the boy in his party, face corrugated with the pockmarks of youth, mercilessly knifed by one of the gang who had overtaken them.
		Mandras had expected some piqued interest at the appearance of a stranger, but not an eyebrow had been raised.
		Mandras was beginning to wonder whether he stumbled off the road and fallen asleep, and was simply dreaming of such a wild place, where the strange patrons spoke so improperly and the room was so warm.

		A deeper way of answering the question would be to say that Mandras' evolution as a character meant exploring ways in which that character worked and there some decisions that came much later.
		To have Mandras find Corelli at the execution point, which as you know is Velisarios, that decision was made very late on.
		I don't want to go on about these issues but the thing that interested me was that Corelli came to the island with a set of values, he doesn't feel like a soldier but by the other end of the story he is the complete opposite of that.

		This is shown in both the titles of the chapters in which he appears "The Good Nazi", his moral scruples and reverses of decision in that he at first hates the Italians for surrendering then tries to convince his superior not to kill them, citing examples of international law.
		Similarly Mandras, the young fisherman to whom Pelagia is engaged before the war, is guilty of murder and attempted rape, yet the author portrays him sympathetically, showing him to be more a victim of circumstance "just another life tarnished...

	BBC - Films - interview - Christian Bale
		The idea of Mandras is very appealing to Pelagia.
		The reality of him is fun and enjoyable - there's a nice passage in the book where Mandras talks about the fact that he has a lot of thoughts going on.
		He has opinions about things, but he just gets a strange sensation whenever he's around her, and he finds himself hanging from trees and pretending to be a monkey.

		The place is the Greek island of Cephallonia, where the tide of World War II rolls onto the island's shores in the form of the conquering Italian army.

		Rich with loyalties and betrayals, and set against a landscape where the factual blends seamlessly with the fantastic, Corelli's Mandolin is a passionate novel as rich in ideas as it is genuinely moving.

		Mandras is a Greek Patriot and it's a good thing it is Greek patriotism, because American patriotism has been linked lately (by the pop-culture leftist media) with the so-called radical right-wingers.
		Mandras is willing to sacrifice himself, his life and his freedom so that others can live free.
		There is also the notion that Dr. Iannis thinks his daughter should not marry Mandras, because he is beneath her.

	Captain Corelli's Mandolin \| Plot \| MTV Movies
		A wave of anti-Axis patriotism sweeps the island, and Mandras (Christian Bale), a local fisherman, is one of a handful of men who volunteer for the army, leaving behind his aging mother (Irene Papas) and the woman he loves, Pelagia (Penélope Cruz), the daughter of the island's physician, Dr. Iannis (John Hurt).
		The timing of Mandras and his compatriots proves less than fortuitous, as Italian troops invade Greece in their absence, but the remaining leaders of the island issue an ultimatum -- the people of Cephallonia will surrender, but only to a ranking German officer.
		Corelli stays on with the Greek occupation forces, and he soon finds himself falling in love with beautiful Pelagia, who believes that Mandras was killed in the fighting in Albania.

		She's in love with vigorous fisherman Mandras (Christian Bale), and close to his mother Drosoula (Irene Papas) as well.
		Eventually, of course, Pelagia and Corelli fall in love, though her loyalty to Mandras, and his actual shame at being an invader, remain as obstacles between them.
		Mandras returns and joins the partisans; in fact, about the only way the passage of time is marked is by Mandras face.

		Penelope Cruz is also outstanding as the highly-educated daughter of the village doctor (John Hurt) who is engaged to her intellectual inferior Mandras (Christian Bale.) The passion between Corelli and Pelagia is fraught with tension that erupts in a beautifully-directed love scene.
		Despite the great love story, it is perhaps the character of Mandras who is most compelling as his feelings for Pelagia are revealed and his actions toward Corelli round out his mysterious nature.
		Also notable among a cast of fine performances are those of Irene Pappas as the spirited mother of Mandras who realizes what is happening between Pelagia and Corelli, as well as David Morrissey as the German captain who battles personal feelings with his unquestionable support for Hitler.
