Excerpts from Madame Bovary’s book
Love must come to man at once and with eruption and pride, a storm from the heavens that descends to life and revolves in it, uprooting desire and will like a leaf and throwing the whole heart into the abyss.

Emma was constantly and subconsciously thinking about the child and wanted the child to be a boy; A strong and green boy. His name is George, and the idea of ​​being a boy was due to his past poor reaction and inability. A man is at least free and can travel to different cities and countries, overcome obstacles and problems and taste the sweetest distant pleasures of the world, but a woman is always caught and can not. There is always an obstacle in his way.

In contrast, there are physical disabilities and legal barriers. His hopes and aspirations are like the mask of his hat tied to a thread. It shakes in every wind. There are always some desires that follow him and then stop him because of the customs and traditions.
“Oh,” said Rudolph. Always a duty. I’m upset by this word. They are a bunch of old men with flannel vests and gossipers who always say the word “duty” in the ear. Ah! Jupiter! It is everyone’s duty to feel what is great and to cherish beauty.

It is not our job to accept all the social laws that society imposes on us in disgrace. Not! Not! Why should we not shout in front of love and feelings? But they are not the most beautiful things on earth. “Aren’t they the source of courage, passion, poetry, music, art and everything else in this land?”

Madame Bovary romance novel will be very interesting for those adventurers of love stories, who are looking for different manifestations of this phenomenon. In this story, Gusta Flaubert, a Frenchman, deals with the futility of not reaching true and lasting love. The remarkable and fascinating point in this story is that this sadness lasts for the rest of the life of the main characters of Madame Bovary.

Notable points in the publication of this book include the numerous threats made by readers to the immoral content of Madame Bovary’s novel. Emma’s character is always confused about finding true love, this distress is an example to many people today.

Madame Bovary’s story begins with her mother sending her son to study medicine. The process of this story is followed by the boy becoming a doctor, Charles Bovary. This poor young man, who is also a novice doctor, marries a rich girl for the second time during special adventures. Being urban and, in a way, low in self-confidence, Charles undergoes many costly changes in his life.
Madame Bovary sees the manifestation of love in many men; But just when he has to rely on this love, he finds them hollow and empty. Each of these men, in turn, deals a fatal blow to the young woman’s soul, and interestingly, Charles Bovary is unaware of the events throughout the story. Charles Bovary becomes aware of all that happens when the foundation of the Bovary family is broken.

The main focus of the story is the emphasis on unusual issues in marriage and opposition to the traditional French atmosphere of the time. In fact, the story begins with a trivial incident and then shows a woman who turns around for her freedom and different desires.

The climax of the story occurs in a situation where the main character of the story agrees to find his desires in any way. For this reason, feelings of frustration and sometimes satisfaction add to its appeal throughout the story. In short, Madame Bovary, love and hate can be seen together at very short distances. It should be noted that the cause of all the events in this story was not a strange and extraordinary event; Rather, it is only the dissatisfaction of a young woman and her perfectionist desires that has led her into this abyss.

His pale face, which had a bezel-less hat, was more wrinkled than a plaid apple, and two long arms were visible from the sleeve of his red jacket.

The dust of the hay barn, the washing of the barley with the wool, had made his hands somewhat rough. It was as if his hands were dirty, while he had washed them with clean water.

A kind of monastic dryness rippled through his face, and no sadness or joy weakened his cold face.

Because of his long life with animals, he became as silent and speechless as they were. It was the first time he had seen himself in such a large crowd, and he was terrified of flags, drums, men in coats, and Mr. Counselor. He stood motionless and did not know whether to run forward or run and why the crowd was pushing him towards the podium and the board members were smiling at him. Yes, this manifestation of half a century of slavery stood against these brilliant bourgeoisie.
