1,052 wordsGUSTAVE FLAUBERT ONCE REMARKED, Madame Bovary, cest moi (Madame Bovary is me). On the surface, this comment seems ridiculous; the circumstances of Flaubert's life have nothing in common with those he created for his most famous character. However his reasons for writing and the techniques he administers in portraying his characters make it obvious that he was the basis for the character of Emma Bovary. Of course he failed to add that so are you and I, we are all the victims of unrealized or unre...

Madame Bovary Charles Bovary
931 wordsGustave Flaubert presents one extreme side of human life many would very much rather think does not exist. He presents a tale of sensual symbolism within the life of Charles Bovary.

It is representative of deep sadness and a despondent outlook on life whose many symbols are, at times, as deeply embedded in the story line as a thorn in a callous heel. The elements making up th...

3,634 wordsScenes from a provincial life Part two This is a clear visual picture of a place but it is loaded with Madame Bovary's ennui and her way of seeing. The cabbages have taken on silver lace trimmings from romance. The idea of paradise is excluded from this real place. The vine is just a vine, not the True Vine, and is indifferently identified with the serpent, who is sick. Cloportes which drag themselves along are not angels to close the gates but woodlice.
