I had read Anna Karenina before reading Madame Bovary, and I couldn't stop comparing the two. As much as I didn't enjoy Anna Karina initially, I've slightly changed my mind about it while reading Madame Bovary. Emma is very selfish and the only person she cares about is herself, not even her child. Anna, on the other hand, is very upset about her bad choices (spoilers but let just say that she follows the same path as Emma), she really cares about her son. Don't get me wrong, Flaubert's writing is masterful (I read it in French btw), and I believe that it elevates the plot. I guess the only thing I liked bout Emma is that she's an avid reader which makes her very delusional, the same way Don Quixote is (which was a kinda nice touch)! I know I've already talked too much but I had an English literature class last year and we dealt with realism as a literary movement, in my opinion, Flaubert wrote about an adulteress as his main character as a way for him to implement some of the principles of realism!
It’s thinking is this all love can be in live? What about the loves we’ve been told? Is there someone better? can i experience love to the fullest? What is a complete lover?
Whatever happened to the thirst for a well written sentence? I will confess I am here because I watched the latest offering from To Readers it May Concern where he mentioned you & some others regarding properly written books. It has been some decades since I read Madame Bovary. I will say this about her: She had it in her. The thirst for more that inspired Browning (whom I was also reading at the time) to say 'a man's reach should exceed his grasp.' Unfortunately, being a mid-19th C. woman, she had neither the upbringing, nor the framework upon which to construct her curiosities (even being denied the opportunity to establish curiosity, but perhaps I am giving her too much credit). But there's always sex (insert French cliche about affairs here). Which is worse? to try & fail or to never have tried? I have clicked all the proper buttons, I am pleased to have found your channel. I will now go back to your early videos & start from the beginning. I wish you well.
