romance Emma was born into a wealthy farming family in rural France Her father was a farmer but he dreamed of making his daughter a noble He sent Emma to a convent At the convent Emma read countless romance novels Her head was full of handsome viscounts passionate knights noble ladies crying under the moonlight She dreamed of living in an ancient manor waiting for her white knight But reality gave her a heavy blow She married Charles Bovary a country doctor Charles was ordinary simple and had no charm The wedding Emma expected was a mysterious torchlight procession at night Reality was a long banquet with only country relatives full of crude jokes Marriage was even more of a shock She wanted to talk about poetry about the sea about passionate storms Charles could only talk about patients' corns and planting potatoes In fact their names hinted at the ending long ago Emma the name sounds romantic But Bovary in French has roots connected to cow A soul chasing romance trapped in a reality as slow and heavy as a cow One ball changed everything The marquis invited them to his estate That night of glittering splendor Emma finally touched the world she had read about in books She saw massive crystal chandeliers smelled perfume mixed with desire on noble ladies Even a real viscount asked her to dance For a moment she felt she was finally alive But every ball must end They rode in a broken carriage back to their leaky old home Emma's heart shattered Like someone who has seen the light can never endure darkness again She bought a map of Paris and wandered over it every day She kept the cigar box she picked up at the ball treating it like a holy object Charles saw Emma getting thinner and paler thought the place had bad feng shui So they moved to a larger town called Yonville He thought it was the start of a new life What he didn't know this town would become the birthplace of his cuckoldom In Yonville Emma met her first man Leon A young intern who understood music and loved literature They talked about mountains and lakes about melancholy poetry It was a spiritual romance Although nothing physical happened this flirtation made Emma drunk But Leon was young He left for Paris to pursue his career The romance ended The second man was Rodolphe An experienced womanizer with an estate and wealth He saw through Emma at one glance a beautiful woman hungry for love who despised her husband A few clichéd sweet words were enough to charm her I finally have a lover Madame Bovary felt victorious She wanted to kick her husband aside and run away with her lover But Rodolphe was just playing from the start On the day they planned to elope Emma packed her luggage her heart in her throat What awaited her was a basket of apricots Under the apricots a letter saying goodbye The letter even had drops of water on it pretending to be tears Emma was heartbroken and fell seriously ill After recovering she met Leon again at the opera in Rouen Leon was no longer the shy young man He had seen the world in Paris and become a womanizer They rekindled their old romance This time Emma abandoned all modesty She hired a carriage drove wildly through the streets of Rouen The most exciting scene in the book a carriage tryst A white hand reached out from the carriage window throwing away shredded letters She made excuses to go to the city for piano lessons but actually to meet her lover She wanted the best rooms the most expensive dresses the finest champagne She thought only this matched her love The merchant Lheureux had been watching the vain Emma for a long time He always appeared at the right moment with fine fabric or expensive scarves Madam you are so beautiful these are made for you No money no problem just take them sign here Loans debts bills robbing Peter to pay Paul She thought she was in control But she had already sold her body and her soul Finally the death sentence came The court demanded she pay eight thousand francs by dawn Eight thousand francs equivalent to millions today This was what Charles couldn't save in years of hard work Emma begged everywhere She went to Leon first The man who enjoyed her countless times hemmed and hawed said he had no way Then she went to Rodolphe the wealthy ex-lover She even lowered her dignity hinting she could trade her body for money Rodolphe shrugged I don't have money either
