Bıktım artık güçsüz kadın karakterlerden, basmakalıp cinsiyetçi cümlelerden.
first exposure to this was through frauding quizbowl lit questions in freshman year lmao but this is also an incredible book. my favorite genre of fiction is the one about vain narcissistic self-indulgent petty avaricious ungrateful women
I hated everything about this shallow woman and had no sympathy for her character whatsoever. Even as a character study of the times, it held no interest for me. While the writing itself was marvelous, I slogged through the book, bored with the sheer banality of Emma.
The follies of human nature are outlined in Madame Bovary to stir the emotions and sense of justice, but nothing is black and white. Some people stumble along in good fortune's favor while others can never be satisfied or even know the iniquity of their lot.
If you can get past Part 1 without falling asleep or giving up, the story gets slightly better. I found myself pretty bored for the first half of the book.
