Madame Bovary

Emma Bovary is a very interesting character who seems to believe that fantasy is reality. When she first gets to know Charles at her farm she finds him interesting and fun to be around. However when she marries him she finds that the romance she has been reading about doesn't apply to her own marriage. She seems to need that fantasy of romance that seems so intriguing throughout her books. What she doesn't realize is that no matter what fiction is fiction. Romances are a very complicated things and are not suppose to be easy. She bitches and moans about not having everything perfect so much that she forgets about the things that are important to others. She needs the romance so much that she decides to sleep around with numerous others in order to achieve what she so desperately wants. Her own happiness must come above all else even if that means braking down a man who truly loves her for who she is. Not many people can say that.
