![]() ![]() ![]() The author of Madame Bovary, Gustave Flaubert, was born in Rouen France (Kunitz 280). Once Emma becomes fed up and realizes that he is “a sad creature” (Flaubert 78), she begins her little quest to find the right man through a binge of affairs and broken hearts. She wonders why she can’t have a flawless love as well as a flawless life, just as the characters do in the novels she reads. This is completely true because Emma really does get caught up in her reading. We soon come to realize that “the story is of a woman whose dreams of romantic love, largely nourished by novels, find no fulfillment when she is married to a boorish country doctor” (Thorlby 272). Although, this love and passion for life shortly ended when Emma’s true feelings began to come about. They did things with each other, went out, and were extremely happy. They end up getting married and everything goes fine, just like a normal couple, for a while. They begin to see more and more of each other until Charles asks Emma’s father for her hand in marriage. The first time they meet, Charles falls instantly in love with her. In the novel, Emma meets a pitiful doctor named Charles Bovary. She realizes that she leads an ordinary and average life, but simply does not want to abide by it. Emma Bovary dreamed of a life beyond that of perfection as well.
