Madame Bovary Real Life
242 wordsGustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary is almost cynical. Emma is flighty; she is unable to face the prospect of not being completely, happy, and rich. She turns her back on a loving husband who would give her anything it was in his power to give, and quests after a life out of a storybook. This book is satirical; Flaubert is almost poking fun at Madame Bovary's silly reasoning. She does as much as she can to liven up her life, and ends up regretting everything she does. She regrets her marriage, this...
