Madame Bovary

For her, love should come suddenly and dazzlingly, like a storm falling from the sky, sweeping across life and shocking people's hearts, like a strong wind sweeping away fallen leaves, uprooting people's will and throwing their soul into the abyss.

Flaubert used his delicate brushwork to describe the most ordinary people and the most real objects, showing us the most typical images of realist works. Compared to Emma, ​​Charles touches my heart more. Compared to Emma, ​​who is addicted to fantasy, Charles, who lives his life step by step, is the most common way of life. Charles's stupidity prevented him from thinking about life, thereby avoiding Emma's disaster; but after Emma's death, the life he knew collapsed in an instant, and Charles "ceased to exist" and turned into a torrent of emotions, mixed with all emotions, transcending life, and truly passed away after the emotions were exhausted. Flaubert can be said to be a model of realism. From his works, we can also get a glimpse of the reasons why modern works have changed from traditional realism to magical realism: traditional realism requires writers to grasp the truth of the era, and then the characters can survive in the environment created by the writer; but in today's era, the information content is too huge and the changes are too frequent. Who dares to say that they understand everything about the era? So writers made up for this shortcoming through magical means (epic fantasy writers even decided to create a world of their own). The replacement of realism by magical realism shows that reality is more magical than magic.

People always seem to be like this, trapped in the cage of choice, unwilling to give up and fantasizing at the same time. Neither can we settle for mediocrity, nor can we truly break free. The road not taken can only be whitewashed into an ideal utopia. Then use the perfection of fiction to reflect on the harshness of reality. Just like Emma in "Madame Bovary": "She wants to die but also wants to go to Paris." Like a moth trapped in a spider's web, it is both greedy for light and afraid of burning. She always likes to be divorced from reality and lives in desire and vanity. In this way, she ended her dream-like and vain life in this reality full of contradictions and absurdities. We all laugh at her, but we unknowingly live like her. Despair of mediocre reality and desire for an ideal life, this polar conflict forms the spiritual background of most of us. This entangled, unwilling and contradictory mentality is reflected in every gap in life. Just like our fear: without love, this life will be too long. On the other hand, I am afraid that after having love, I will be too choked up sometimes. The original nature of man is so unsatisfactory. We will always unconsciously complain about the current life, feel that the current life is a kind of pain, and beautify the road that has not been traveled. The real pain is never not getting something, but finding that it is still mediocre after you get it. . . We are not Madame Bovary, we are all Madame Bovary...

Emma's admiration for vanity and longing for love, and the motive of desire were formed later. Bovary's lack of ambition, lack of mystery, and Emma's heart that would not succumb to the ordinary. It was only after seeing the prosperous and luxurious banquets and the count who enjoyed social honors that he became commotion. As modern people, judging based on our vision is not comprehensive enough or even extreme and biased. Evaluation should try to remove our own subjective opinions and treat Emma and Bovary objectively and fairly.

Emma, ​​who lived in imagination all her life, finally died in reality. She has been pursuing love all her life. She stays with different people to satisfy her romanticism. She puts all her dissatisfaction with reality on her husband and uses trysts as an outlet for the sweetness of life. It's funny to say that Emma not only fell in love her whole life and fantasized about having a vigorous and vigorous love with a man, but she was also self-arrogant and had no independent soul of her own. She regarded writing letters to her lover as a very important part of her life, so it led to tragedy.

I can't imagine the sadness and shallowness of a woman who blindly pursues love. Her vanity prevents her from seeing her husband who truly loves her. She is like a woman who is lost on a foggy morning, running around in circles, but still unable to find the bright light that can soothe her soul.

Because Emma had read too many unrealistic love novels, she had very strong fantasies about love. Her imagination added too many filters to love. In fact, after she truly experienced and felt it, she understood the truth of love, but she could not return to a peaceful life. She sank in madness. No one intervened in her spiritual world, and she fell in the whirlpool of her own thoughts. The things she pursues are very noble in her fantasy, but in fact they are just bubbles. Love is by no means a strong emotional stimulation and the clever words of written letters, but the acceptance and tolerance after truly understanding each other.

I was filled with emotions after reading it. I had read spoilers before that Emma would commit suicide. I thought Emma would commit suicide because her extramarital affair was exposed, but I didn't expect it was because of debt! When I finally saw Charles's death, I was even more touched than Emma's death before. If I do it again, please love Charles more.

The warning this book gave me is to have my own thoughts and bottom lines, love real people's actions, not virtual people's words, consider the consequences of doing things, and don't pursue excitement and romanticism. I must know that the novelty of people's feelings will fade over time. Love only comes after the novelty fades. Learn to love lightly and long-term, love yourself first, and then love others.

We all know that everyone is Madame Bovary. Unless we have no desires or desires, living in this colorful world, there will always be times when our imagination exceeds our abilities and reality. Some men are dissatisfied with the mediocrity of the women around them, and their dissatisfaction with wealth often leads to crises in their marriages and financial status; and so are some women who do not want to give up either of their material and spiritual needs. In the end, I discovered that all my pursuits were in vain. Form is emptiness, emptiness is form, and the same is true for feelings, thoughts, and awareness.

People who pursue the ultimate romantic love often end up with tragic results. Emma has a bit of a love brain, or maybe she has experienced too little, so she longs for the so-called love and does not cherish a plain life and a simple husband. Only those who have experienced it can truly understand that no one is perfect, and a woman with a mature mind can see it clearly! Therefore, a woman's maturity is more important than success!

In the foreign literature class, the teacher recommended a book, and then played a video "No matter what, she is still a flower." The video looked endlessly sad, she was hateful and pitiful, pathetic and deplorable. It is difficult to evaluate Emma. I seem to understand the love she wants to seek. An extreme romantic is incompatible with the dull and unmotivated Bovary. There is no common topic or resonance. It was shameful for her to cheat, but she also knew that this behavior was not advisable, and she had once controlled herself. But all in all, she was poisoned by extreme romanticism. The thing that makes me pity the most in the whole book is Bovary. He always loved Emma. Even if he later discovered Emma's affair with someone else, he still chose to forgive. In my opinion, he is sad and affectionate. Next is Emma's father, a man with white hair and black hair. He loves his daughter. The description of his farewell to Emma later makes him deeply understand his pain and love for his daughter... Finally, there is Emma and Bovary's daughter. She is so young, but she has lost her father and mother. She should have been carefree, with a doctor father and a beautiful mother, but in the end she lost everything. She was innocent and sad.

The collision of realism and romanticism is doomed to be a tragedy. The core of Western-style tragedy is more about the character flaws. Charles is clumsy, incomprehensible, kind, and down-to-earth. Emma is romantic, pursues romance, is blind, and indulges in fantasy. He loves her most, but she doesn't love him. Does she love Rodolphe and Leon? She may only love the perfect lover in her fantasy, the feeling of romance, and the breath of freedom. She is destined to have no soul compatibility with her husband or lover.

The language of this book is exquisite and meaningful, and the characters are vivid and vivid. It successfully portrays the classic character Madame Bovary. She pursues romanticism to the extreme and fantasizes about the perfect appearance of her ideal lover. She is unwilling to accept an ordinary life and a mediocre husband. She always believes that she can gain endless happiness and joy by marrying another person, becoming the character she read when she was in the monastery. She thought that love was always full of passion and fanaticism, like a gust of wind sweeping in violently and quickly. The person she loved was a hero descending from the sky, riding on colorful auspicious clouds. Little did she know that the end of love is dullness. Life cannot always be full of passion, dullness is the truth. Blindly focusing on spiritual pursuits without recognizing reality will only allow yourself to fend for yourself in fantasy. Only by balancing the relationship between romanticism and realism can you grow better.

A book that all girls should read, it's really great

There is obviously a man who truly loves her, but she still looks down on him. He always wants to pursue romance, and in the end he hurts himself and the person who loves him the most. Therefore, no one is perfect, and the person you truly love also has shortcomings. Those who are selfish, timid and fearful are even worse. Why not simply live this life with a down-to-earth husband!

Pursue all kinds of love, but ignore the cautious love of the person beside your pillow

Bert is the most pitiable. The daughter of a good doctor was tricked into child labor by her own mother.

The book "Madame Bovary" really touched me a lot! The book's delicate and nuanced portrayal of the characters' personalities and experiences made me sympathize with Emma, ​​a woman who pursues romance and desire. Her story made me think about whether human desires are really endless, and how to choose between reality and fantasy. This book is not only a literary masterpiece, but also a profound exploration of human nature. It is worth reading again and again.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Emma pursuing the ultimate romanticism and the perfect lover. Simple girls have all fantasized about their ideal Prince Charming. The tragedy is that in the context of that era, she pursued romantic love too much and plunged into it, completely divorced from reality. She was deceived, in debt, and her pride and despair made her painfully kill herself. Sadly, the man she loved lived a stable life after his death. The upright and kind-hearted Bovary did die of sadness and depression.

What Madame Bovary yearns for is not love. What she yearns for is the passionate and gorgeous life and romantic love in fantasy. However, she seems to have never really loved anyone in the book, and she does not even have much love for her daughter. In real life, many people are Madame Bovary, and they see a life that is not their own through the online world. , But did I have enough ability to pursue that kind of gorgeous life, so I fell into vanity and fantasy. Seeing what Madame Bovary did, I even saw how vulgar I used to be. Maybe this is growth. After experiencing many things, you will know how to be content and happy. Finally, a warning to yourself, if your ability is not enough to support your desires, the indulgence of desires will often lead to destruction (regardless of men and women)

Really, a masterpiece is worthy of being a masterpiece. It's so shocking. The complex emotions and diverse characters in the book are full of personality. Especially the description of the scenes in the book is really immersive and touching. Finally, be sure to read the last chapter. The words in it are the best interpretation of Flaubert's book. It is a very in-depth book and well worth reading.

Very well written, Ciel is a poor man

It took me several months after reading it for the first time to review it, because when I first finished reading it, I had really mixed feelings and didn't know what to say. Emma is actually a smart and beautiful person, but unfortunately she cannot keep up with her cognitive skills. She is too easily led astray by all kinds of temptations from the outside world, and eventually embarks on a path of no return, ending up with the tragic ending of suicide. But I think this ending is actually a kind of kindness to her, and it is considered a good ending. I felt sorry for her and felt sorry for Charles. Although he was not kind to his ex-wife, he loved Emma wholeheartedly. In his heart, Emma is Madame Bovary, but in Emma's heart, she has always been a butterfly drifting in the wind.

This translation is very good! It feels like Lele is the epitome of consumerism. He helped create desires rather than satisfy needs. Emma originally had no need for luxurious clothes or exquisite decorations. Lele kept showing her beautiful objects, implying that exquisite objects equal elegance, romance, and a high-class life. Therefore, objects are no longer just supplies, but become carriers of identity, sentiment, and love fantasies. Emma believes that with these things, she can escape from the mediocrity of the countryside and live like a noble lady in the novel. His credit system is the current delayed pain, instant gratification, you don't have to pay on the spot, you can enjoy exquisite dignity in the moment, and the price of debt is postponed indefinitely. In modern times, there are all kinds of advanced consumption. The pleasure of the moment masks the long-term crisis and makes people ignore the risk of debt. Therefore, "Madame Bovary" is never a novel that simply criticizes the degradation of women. It is written in a realistic style that when romantic dreams collide with mediocre reality, and when endless desires coerce ordinary life, people will eventually destroy their supposedly stable life through self-inflicted internal friction and obsession. Spanning a hundred years, Emma's tragedy is still vivid, illuminating every ordinary person who is unwilling to accept the present and indulges in vanity. Those who are unwilling to be mediocre die of vanity, those who are content with mediocrity die of deep affection, and those who are greedy for profit can live in peace.

Needless to say, a textbook of human nature

Human desires are vividly written, and women's vanity is not just women's vanity. This man loves this vain woman, isn't he a vain man?

The book is quite good, but not all of the final postscript was written in my heart. I think Charles is not a poor honest man, he also brings his own fault, as the ironic sentence throughout the book says: This is fate.

The most realistic romantic works

What Lenon doesn't appreciate is that Emma's fantasies and love are aimless and unrealistic. Her excessive pursuit of romance and emotional value make her indifferent to everyone or everything around her. The ending is quite sad, I can only say that we need to learn to appreciate others and be content.
