Comment critically on the character of Emma Bovary in
Flaubert's novel. Is she responsible for her own unhappiness?
Emma Bovary in Flaubert’s novel of the same name is one of the most interesting women characters of world literature. One of the major challenges of Madame Bovary is to figure out what leads to her self-destruction. She does not cherish what she possesses, but laments what happiness her world does not give her. Hers is a story of spiritual emptiness and foolish idealism. "...Emma tried to find out what one meant exactly in life by the words bliss, passion, ecstasy, that had seemed to her so beautiful in books." She searches for what is found in the fantasy world of books in her own world and falls short of her expectations. Charles, her husband, she takes for granted as "She would have done so to the logs in the fireplace or to the pendulum of the clock." Growing up on an isolated farm with few friends, Emma began life as a lonely child. Then, upon entering the Catholic convent school, she was completely shut off from the external world and turned inward for excitement. Emma embarks directly down a path to moral and financial ruin over the course of the novel.
