rbcp82 's review for:

Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert
5.0

Comparison I thought of between Emma Bovary and Hamlet while reading this novel for the second time:
Why can't Hamlet commit himself on avenging his father?
Why is Emma Bovary so unhappy?
-- Is it because her husband is so dull?
-- Is it because she read so many romantic novels that plunged her into impossible ideals?
-- Is it because of her natural character traits?
