QWhat exactly is Consumption?
AConsumption is an old term for tuberculosis (TB), an infection of the lungs. It can be spread through coughing, sneezing, kissing, speaking, and spitting. This means that, sadly, Christian is probably the most likely character to contract TB and, unfortunately, the Duke is least likely.
QHow old are Christian and Satine supposed to be?
AThere is no definite answer, however director Luhrmann suggests that Christian (Ewan McGregor) was around the age of 21 as he was leaving home for the first time. Satine (Nicole Kidman) is probably older, around the age of 24 or 25. She was actually one of the older ones there, as most performers would have been about 19 or 20. You must remember, in those days to be in your 30s was to be middle aged. There is very little chance either Christian or Satine are over 30.
