On the Tragedy of Madame Bovary

Weston 2022-12-14 19:08:15

After finishing this edition of Madame Bovary for the third time, some things were unpleasant, and I was afraid that I would forget it later and remind myself.

A heart-to-heart girl who lived in a monastery and studied piano, chess, calligraphy and calligraphy, and was held in the palm of her hand by her father. She was unable to choose her own life when she took the first step in the monastery. When she failed to experience the freedom and joy of the world, she married and became a woman. , This is the root of the problem. Especially for a well-educated young literary and artistic young woman, bid farewell to her familiar hometown and father, and step into the home of her husband who has just met in a foreign land, seeing the dim light, plain and even a little shabby furnishings, youthful and young There is another pretty face, which seems to be frosted for a moment. The pragmatic doctor and husband seem to concentrate all their attention on the patient, without taking into account the small fluctuations in the mood of the wife. His carcass was not praised or enjoyed, it just seemed to have completed the task hastily, and the wife carefully placed the cookies for her husband to admire. Unexpectedly, this is not for eating, why is it so beautiful? ?

Two people who are not on the same channel at all, because the marriage got together, this is just the beginning of the tragedy.

Women are mostly romantic and desire romance more, but there are not many men with romantic attributes. At this time, what women hope is that they don’t understand romance, or at least they can appreciate romance.

Another tragedy of Madame Bovary is that she is disturbed by the status quo. This is not her fault, but when the uneasy status quo is combined with her inability to change the status quo, it is an abyss. There is a saying that when your talents cannot support your ambitions, you have to step down and learn. The tragedy of Madame Bovary is that she has too much ambition and she hasn't stepped down to learn. She has let go of her eyes, but she put all her sustenance on the man. This is also the tragedy and limitation of the times. She said that the woman was unable to change. In addition to being isolated from the world since childhood, how much do you know about men? I thought this man would look at you a few more times and praise you a few more words, just love you? Sleeping with you a few more times will lend you hundreds of thousands of pounds? Give up your career name and elope with you and marry you as your wife?

After all, Madame Bovary was just a little girl who was immature and had a little knowledge of the world.

Before marriage, my mother passed away early, and my father said that I would raise pigs, but raising my daughter would make me stumped. Finally, she was sent to a convent that was cautious in words and deeds. It can be seen that family education and social education were lacking from beginning to end. It shows the importance of both.

Again, desire is a bottomless pit that cannot be filled. You must learn to exercise restraint. Don't wait until you are about to be buried before thinking of calling for help. In the play, Mrs. Bovary used to pay for the beautiful clothes, the expensive piano, the luxurious carpets and decorations in the home, the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, and she did not know the limit on credit. She had no financial resources, and blindly relied on her husband without considering her husband’s ability. In the end, I fell into the hole and couldn't extricate myself. I think of the campus loans that were very popular some time ago, naked loan loans. What is the difference between the college students who are so tender that they can pinch water and Mrs. Bovary at this time?

Young and young, with a mentally handicapped heart, without a strong financial foundation, but wanting to live a corresponding life, he can only go to the sideball, betraying the body is the easiest way, this is not everyone’s choice, haha ​​like me, there is no beauty , One day the poor will not be able to open the pot, and they can only act as a disability. Madame Bovary’s Pandora’s Box began when she received a hunting invitation, made a luxurious riding suit on credit, and was appreciated by the duke. It was out of control, from the initial unhappy heart to the beginning of seeking change. The maid must wear uniforms, lay carpets on the floor, the curtains must have fine fabrics and patterns, the tablecloths must be inlaid with silver, and there must be silver candle holders.

At this stage, she was still in a relatively creative stage. She wanted to be released but because of the secularity and education, faced with the temptation of the duke, she refused. Alas, but this reservedness was finally defeated by nature, and she still ate the grass.

Listen to the slander, and blindly pursue a high-quality life, money should never be the problem, only the solution. The person who says this, because money is not his problem. Be careful of those who say this, if you don't have money, otherwise you will be led astray.

This warns us to be careful of the poisonous chicken soup on the WeChat Moments public account that blindly encourages us to pursue petty bourgeoisie. If women don’t work hard, all that is waiting for you is the endless street stalls and the endless shopping Taobao. But my dear, all living beings, some of them didn’t start from street stalls and Taobao. Don’t see these chicken soups and shout slogans like chicken blood and practice them. They start to open the closet and give them clothes and shoes. After a few days, they can only do so. Streaking. Every stage of life has every stage of life. It’s good step by step, and your salary will increase with the improvement of your ability. If that is your heart is still a young man, you are not completely blinded by the world, you think The desired quality of life will naturally be achieved. Even if you want to throw it, you have to do what you can. The most fearful thing is not that there is no future, but that the previous self cuts the future of the future, which only adds to the distress and regret.

It is true that chicken soup is beneficial and inspiring. It is better to drink it occasionally. It is the longest to eat whole grains, and it is true to be down-to-earth.

When it comes to love, Madame Bovary can’t compare with Madame Chatterley. One is for vain desire and the other is for her true nature. One is based on frothy carnal desires, and the other is based on real spiritual desires. In the former, you can see yourself, in the latter, you can see yourself.

In the end, in short, it wasn't Emma's fault that survived the times.

End of the article: Emma's maid is the second lady of Downton Abbey

Unfortunately, I haven't read the original book yet, so I will go to the library to borrow a book tomorrow.

Madame Bovary quotes

  • Emma Bovary: I realized that before getting married I was contemplating my coming life like a child. In a theater, um... sitting there in high spirits, and eagerly waiting for the play to begin. It was a blessing in my early youth that I did not know what was really going to happen. When I look back now, it seems that I was like an innocent prisoner, condemned not to death, but to life, and as-yet unconscious of what the sentence meant. And the longer I live, the more clearly I feel that on a whole, life's a disappointment.

  • Monsieur Lheureux: This is going to be very expensive.

    Emma Bovary: You will extend me credit, will you not?

    Monsieur Lheureux: [slides fabric swatches toward her] Money should never be the problem - only the solution.
