Al principio se me hizo pesado pero conforme me adentraba en la historia fue volviéndose más interesante. Lo mismo me pasó con la protagonista, al inicio la odie pero al final no sé si sentir lástima o empatía. Y pues sí es un dramononon del realismo.

I don't know if I've hated a character quite as much as I do Madame Bovary. Irresponsible, childish, unaccountable, and a whole bunch of synonyms sum up this woman. Because of her lack of propriety, everyone around her suffered. From her desperate want of escape from her farm life, she finds herself placed in an unhappy marriage and then she reflects how much happier she was back in her farm life days. She can't make up her mind and then she finds herself in a love affair and then another. Her husband doesn't even notice. He's that oblivious to her. Even when she's all sick and looks sick and everyone tells him she's sick, he believes her to be fine. Goes to show how well he knows her. The drama later in part III when Madame Bovary has to pay off her debts was probably the most interesting part. I was constantly wondering if she would finally take responsibility. But of course, she commits suicide and lets her husband and daughter take her burden. Really. I can't stand her. The book was less annoying than the character as a whole.

Translated by Francis Steegmuller. A very slow read, picks up at some points, but mostly very slow. The last third of the book was the best part. I ready it b/c it is considered a classic, but I had to force myself to read it, and I hate having to do that.
