katiescho741 's review for:
Madame Bovary
by Gustave Flaubert
One of the classic tragic french novels about love!
The fact that Flaubert wrote this in third person means we get both sides of the marriage: Emma's feelings of disappointment and ennui, and Charles' love. When Emma has conversations with people other then her husband you get a very obvious sense of ow much more lively they are. As if her husband is smothering her.
Our tragic heroine starts and affair and then acts foolishly out of desperation to be happy. Our modern perspective could get some very sour lessons from this novel, but personally, I love a tragic novel!
