The imaginary woman married an honest man with good conditions. As a result, she was naturally romantic and loves romance, so she could endure the peaceful life provided to him by an ordinary person. After marriage, she met a man who was also uncomfortable with reality. Mrs. Bovary, like Rosamond, the vanity-loving wife married to the ambitious doctor Lidgate in "Middlemarch," wears Chinese clothes, follows the fashion, buys expensive furniture, and brings them to her husband. Huge economic pressure. Husband Charles said that not everyone can lead a rich life, Emma doesn't understand. When she was caught in a legal dispute, no lover was willing to help her. Her husband is the only man who loves her. Others are either for money or for sex. The story is simply saying that boredom and vanity make people degenerate, and indulging in fantasies can make people unable to establish themselves in the world.

The Marquis: My dear Emma, you are unrelenting, standing under an apple tree, wishing to smell the scent of orange blossoms. So yes, you are indeed standing in a lost world of illusion. You like to hear the words, but you have no courage to act upon your feelings.
