i saw it coming from the beginning

right from the beginning of the novel i saw hints at the fact that Emma was "indeed, finding him(Charles) more and more irritating." (pg. 56) this sentence is just days after they get married. she repeatedly calls him a "pitiful creature" and it is inevitable that she is going to take matters into her own hand and find a real man to please her. there is also symbolism toward lack of excitement when Flaubert writes that "It was a cold winter" (pg. 57) Eventually Emma seems depressed at the fact that Charles is a shitty husband and she starts thinking of ways to entertain herself, "She kept changing the way she arranged her hair" she also "decided to learn Italian" this is all to take her mind off of the lameness of her everyday life. then she goes and fucks a bunch of other dudes. Charles must really suck.
