Summary "Œuvres complètes de Gustave Flaubert, tome 1 (of 8): Madame Bovary" by Flaubert is a novel written in the mid-19th century. This literary work paints a vivid picture of provincial life in France and explores themes of desire, frustration, and the search for fulfillment through the story of its main character, Emma Bovary. The opening of "Madame Bovary" introduces readers to a classroom scene where a new student, Charles Bovary, is welcomed by his peers with mockery for his unusual name and appearance. Through Charles’s backstory, we learn about his humble beginnings, the domestic life he comes from, and the expectations placed upon him. The narrative describes his interactions, including the disdain he faces from classmates and the complex dynamics within his family. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Charles’s character and his future relationships, particularly with Emma, hinting at the societal pressures and personal aspirations that will shape their lives as the story unfolds.
