| Summary | "Madame Bovary" by Gustave Flaubert is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The book explores themes of desire, dissatisfaction, and the quest for a more glamorous life through the story of Emma Bovary, a woman deeply longing for love and excitement beyond her provincial existence. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Charles Bovary, a timid and somewhat clumsy young boy who is new to school. The opening scene describes Charles’s awkwardness among his classmates, marked by bullying and ridicule over his appearance and behavior. The narrative then shifts to his upbringing, detailing his parents' contrasting characters and the impact of his upbringing on his personality. We learn about his mother’s oppressive influence and his father's passive demeanor, outlining a foundation for Charles's eventual career as a doctor. This initial portrayal of Charles sets the stage for his future encounters, including his marriage to Emma, who will be central to the unfolding drama of the narrative. Emma herself is introduced later, depicted as a captivating woman with dreams of love and grandeur, setting the tone for her eventual struggle against the constraints of her life.
