"They must have the spiritual realm of petty bourgeoisie - unrealistic view of love, endless yearning for social status, and a lot of time to read love novels on the Internet, to ensure that Madame Bovary can fall in love with herself when she grows up. things, such as: art, or men." Hong Huang gave her a simple ironic definition. This kind of arrogance from the privileged class seems to have nothing to refute. The "Mrs. Bovary" is evil, ordinary work, and ordinary life belongs to them. What they do is love for art It is called "useless literature and art" , and the loss of love is called "the man who can't handle it" . Flaubert gave Madame Bovary the road to perdition. As Bovary's creator, he denied this outward pursuit. Because the question that Madame Bovary pondered from beginning to end was not art and men at all; it was , "Can I live?"
At the beginning of the film, Bovary takes his wife from one side of the town to the other. Madame Bovary looks at the stout woman washing her clothes and expresses a very pessimistic mood about the future of married life. When she spent an entire afternoon making exquisite biscuits for her husband, the feedback was also: "Don't make too much trouble, make it simple." Since then, she has been sentenced to be useless.
When the nobles invited the Bovarys to serve as hunting doctors, she bought herself a riding suit from a fashion magazine.
It is rare to have an occasion to show off oneself, but in fact, this kind of extravagance is interpreted from another perspective : "A little girl dreams of going to a dance every day, and finally one day she has this opportunity, she breaks her coin jar and buys a set for herself. Chinese clothing". Thinking about it becomes a good memory, but the bad thing is that Madame Bovary wants this ball to become her daily routine. She began to create the surroundings according to her own thoughts. The maid's uniform had to be changed, the curtains had to be changed, the table setting had to be changed, and of course the rug had to be fashionable.
With the blessing of these elements, the naturally beautiful Madame Bovary is even more dazzling, and she has derailed the nobles and the boys in law school one after another.
"Standing under an apple tree, she longed to smell the aroma of oranges"
In a scene where the Bovary couple had dinner, these extravagant items made her husband feel extremely depressed, and her husband's answer made her a little warm. "What is a comfortable life?" "Not everyone is living an affluent life."
(newly married/now, background comparison of two meals)
Everyone has their own answer to a comfortable life , and I try to analyze it from Madame Bovary's point of view. The first is abundance , which can be the Paris she can imagine . She recognizes her own impoverishment and ignorance, but it is wrong to equate growth with gain. Growth requires a step-by-step accumulation of experience and upgrades to fight monsters, and getting them is done overnight. She always mobilizes all the enthusiasm and hypocrisy, and the kind of person who warmly echoes herself with literary and artistic works.
Therefore, she narrowly attributed abundance to material wealth, and she showed her disdain for money all the time, squandering 10,000 francs in just a few months. She thought that everything around her was getting better, but it was actually the opposite. She started to get anxious and, as she said, "every meal with vinegar will be dull after a month"
The pastor hopes that she can find inner peace in nature, in other words, she hopes that she can find the heaviness of life.
Madame Bovary has always regarded life as thin as a page of paper,
She was always being smashed and spread out, because she couldn't accept such ravages, and she chose to destroy.
If Madame Bovary was offered another possibility, hopefully it could be her in prison
Take a serious look at the sunshine every morning,
to stroke the old cotton quilt,
Carefully observe the contours of the sun shining on the sheets,
Live such a dull, peaceful and light life.
Finally, let's review a period of Madame Bovary's monastery period, which is a bit unworldly and lovely.
"When I was sent to the monastery to study, my heart was pure and beautiful. Those nuns with their faces turned to the sky, they recited the Rosary and had firm beliefs. I treated them with a pious heart, I want to be as detached as they are, but I can't. When I take the oath, I'm confused myself. When I repent, I have nothing to repent of, it's a shame to me. Sisters It disgusted me to find some emotional solace in romance novels, but then I realized that my guilt had clouded my happy heart."
Ps: Living comfortably is the basic belief of everyone, and I think most people have a willful little girl in their hearts. She can be ignorant of the world and occasionally spend extravagantly, but this is not the whole of life, just like Bovary Madam, I also believe that only in the book, she is not a "three-dimensional" person, because her departure is too sloppy.
More often, in the face of any outcome, the little girl in her heart will still live bravely towards various characters. She will know more about people, society, and the world, and then she will be able to appreciate the beauty of life. From flamboyance, but the ability to love and feel loved.
