* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Is Azuri really just hypersexualised, petty and manipulative, or an example of the negative effects of colonisation on indigenous peoples, as well as an example of the problems mixed-race people can face during colonialism? Also, was Pierre just holding out until Margot came to Morocco?

* SpiritualSuccessor: This can be seen as one to ''Theatre/TheRoseOfAlgeria''. In both productions the setting is North Africa, the French hero has a family connection to the governor (De Lome's uncle/Pierre's father) and a strained relationship due to the hero's personality which differs from the "ideal" soldier. Both stories feature a protagonist in love with the other's alter ego and deal in some way with colonialism with the French Foreign Legion as a backdrop.

* UnfortunateImplications: ''And how!'' Where to start? The whole thing. From the Red Shadow actually being a European, to being the best at single combat in "all of Morocco." Plus, the whole "barbaric Muslim/Arab" idea. And the name of the sequence that "Let Love Go", "One Flower Grows Alone In Your Garden" and "One Alone" appear in is "Eastern and Western Love", implying that "Easterners" are ''all polygamists.''
** And also, the whole scene before The Song of the Brass Key, when the guard has the speech about "the soldiers of Spain must have diversions" implies that Clementina and co. are basically spoils of war. (They were camp followers).
