Kushelo and Gadjo The Gypsy Woman's Curse and the White Man

The `Gypsy` woman appears as a delicious `Other` in Western imagination even more so in literature. Think about Carmen Zemfira or Fedalma attractive women without morals. Male characters are under their spell as if possessed by a female demon. These women are 100% aware of their magical power and use it as a weapon an act of defiance and challenge. Men cannot help falling in the trap and they give their whole existence up...for a woman who never asked for anything like this.
