In the ballet’s story, Giselle has fallen in love with Albrecht, Duke of Silesia, who, disguised as a peasant, courts her. Hilarion, a gamekeeper who is in love with Giselle, suspects the true identity of his rival and soon finds out that Albrecht is not the peasant he claims to be.
Giselle reflects thematic concerns of 19th Century Romanticism, specifically the idealization of peasant life and the intersection of reality and the supernatural. The two themes give the ballet shape.
