** Granted, at one point René says that Ebn-Hakia’s face is as dark as his mysterious science and a couple of minutes later calls him a cruel Moor. But in that particular scene Ebn-Hakia tells him just how thin Iolanta’s chance for recovery is, so it wasn’t meant as exactly racist, René was just letting out his anger and despair.

* GenreBlindness: When Robert isn't impressed a bit by the sight of Iolanta, Vaudemont is shocked and offended that anyone could remain cold when seeing such beauty.

* FairForItsDay: And ''amazingly'' so, considering the presence of Ebn-Hakia – there are absolutely no racist undertones.
