Nearly all of Colette's full novels, as well as many of the novellas — such as Gigi — can be related to The Vagabond, despite radical variations in plot. Several themes and life situations are repeated or echoed. Women of superior ability and character married to or in a liaison with inferior men are seen in numerous Colette fictions. The glories of nature and youth are contrasted repeatedly with the corruption of city life, especially that of Paris, among adults.
