**It also appeals to many people because of how relatable it is. College students living in dorms may relate to Rodolfo and his friends, their playful shenanigans even reflecting those of frat boys. Anyone who’s ever fallen in love may relate to either Rodolfo and Mimì or Marcello and Musetta, depending on how the relationship is going. Anyone who’s had a recent break-up may resonate with Act III and, again, may relate to either Rodolfo and Mimì or Marcello and Musetta. And a recent widower may weep with Rodolfo [[spoiler: when he finds out that Mimì has died right at the end]].

*GrumpyBear: Among the Bohemians, Marcello is the most pessimistic.
*SliceOfLife: One of the most appealing aspects about this opera is that, although it is billed as a tragedy, it has comedic and sentimental moments, but it's all down-to-earth.

* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: It's subtly implied that Musette is a HighClassCallGirl. She is probably a courtesan or "kept woman" who seeks out sugar daddies like Alcindoro; her flashy, hedonistic behavior would be considered ''demi-mondaine'' at the very least. There's no other explanation for why she can afford such fine clothes and such a sumptuous dinner table. And she's certainly very kindly and sweet towards poor Mimi.

!!Tropes particular to the 1926 film:
* BloodFromTheMouth: Signaling that Mimi's cough has gotten to a serious stage.
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: Schaunard the musician has a pet monkey that he takes out to the street to do an act. This is how they get the rent in one month when they're particularly broke.
* GaussianGirl: Used liberally for Lillian Gish. This is most notable when Mimi and Rodolphe are at a picnic in the country. In one scene the camera cuts back and forth from a shot of John Gilbert in perfect focus, to a shot of Gish looking all blurry, and back again.
* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: It's subtly implied that Musette is a HighClassCallGirl. There's no other explanation for why she can afford such fine clothes and such a sumptuous dinner table. And she's certainly very kindly and sweet towards poor Mimi.
* LargeHam: Rodolphe in-universe when he's acting out his play, which evidently involves a sword duel and a dramatic rescue of a maiden.
* PsychicLink: At the peak of his success following the debut of his play, Rodolphe thinks about Mimi, wishing that she would come to him. Mimi, dying in a different part of town, hears this and staggers back to Rodolphe's apartment.
