The amorous Madame Bovary is superficial, and the plain life given by her careless husband cannot satisfy her desires. The beginning of the story is destined to end in tragedy.
At the beginning of the marriage, she pointed to the messy yard and said that all kinds of flowers and plants would be planted. When the first extramarital affair came, she forgot her promise before God, and it was gratifying that the first extramarital affair ended without incident. But a stone leaves layers of ripples in the river of the soul, and it is destined to never return to peace. The arrival of the second extramarital affair is a matter of course, Madame Bovary's passion, the earl's intention, the two are like a single couple, wanton publicity. But Madame Bovary wants more than that, she wants more love, she wants the whole of him, for a married woman's request, a wise man will definitely back down, and the earl's departure is inevitable Row. But this did not awaken Madame Bovary, who was desperate. The story once again brings the man of the first extramarital affair to Madame Bovary, who is "alive" again. When the debt was high, he stayed away from her, and he was no longer "loving" her. At this time, Madame Bovary woke up, she was exhausted, but the men who once said "love" her avoided her like the plague, She left in despair, and even the church, which can bring people a moment of tranquility in front of God, no longer accepts her. The despair of the soul has finally been exchanged for the liberation of the body.

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.
