About This Novel
"Madame Bovary" is an outstanding work that established Gustave Flaubert's literary reputation and status. Emma is the daughter of a wealthy farmer in the French provinces. She was deeply influenced by religion and romantic literature when she was a teenager. When she grew up, she married Bovary, a mediocre and honest doctor. She is not satisfied with family life and fantasizes about pursuing ideal love. She got involved in the upper class society, and her yearning for luxurious life and pursuit of romance led her to the path of depravity. Eventually, she committed suicide by taking poison because she was in debt and unable to escape.
