In this novel, Madame Bovary, the biggest issue I encountered was disloyalty and selflessness. Madame Bovary was very selfish in that her concerns were all derived on her well being and what would make her most happy. She initially thought she was in love when Charles arrived to help the family. He seemed kind of like a hero and mystery to her and that he could open a door to a happier life for her. Soon after marrying him she once again realized, that she was unhappy. Her perception of love and what it should be was not fulfilled in her life. When other guys came along they appeared to her as Charles once did a great guy with the ability to lead her into a better life. She thought she was in love. Truly she wouldn’t have been happy with any of these men if she had left Charles for one of them. She would soon become board of her life and those men would become just as Charles became to her. By not staying loyal to Charles she was always looking after what would make her happy and ignore her devotion to her husband and her child. I felt as though she was always after a fairytale love story that would romantically be depicted in a story. Even when a great love was unfolding this fairytale with Charles was never good enough for her. Her selfishness and disloyalty lead her to her death in the end. She was always looking for what she didn’t have instead of appreciating what she did have. Charles couldn’t have been a better husband to her. He fulfilled her with the biggest house in the town, possessions that would enlighten her and love. Charles was loyal and constantly trying to make her happy but because of her naive attitude she could never be pleased.
