madame bovary
Chris Irwin January 12,2001 The story starts as we see Charles Bovary entering a new school in the town of Rouen in France. People laugh at him because he isn't sure what to do and how to act. He is the son of a doting mother and a very strict father. Charles isn't sure what to do with his life and therefore does as his mother advices him; to go to medical school. He fails at first because he didn't work for it in class, but the second time he does and he passes the exam and becomes a doctor in the town of Tostes. He is well liked in town because people see him as a hard working man. Because he is still single and his mother thinks he shouldn't be, she arranges a marriage only for the money with an ungly widow, Heloise Dubuc. One day Charles is called to a farm because someone has broken his leg. On the farm he meets Emma Rouault, the daughter of the farm owner. He likes her very much and keeps coming back to her father to check up on his leg, even after his leg has fully healed. They get on very well and they dicide to get married, even with protest of his former wife which dies soon after because of a stroke. They arrange a huge wedding and loads of people
He manages to talk Emma into seducing her and it works. She started feeling really sick, throwing up like a maniac and getting weaker and weaker. He has this friend called Hippolyte and he has a club-foot, so he decides to give it a try on him. Charled had no clue where the hell she was hanging out and went looking for her. This is because Emma always had to have the latest of the latest and she never paid on the spot, but she always put it on the bill and that bill was never paid. She hoped to get the love from her husband in the same way that the main characters in the novels she read get love, but that doesn't happen. When Charles goes out to talk to someone and comes back, he says that Leon is also in the theatre. He runs away from her and decides not to show up as planned, so he writes her a letter explaining why she shouldn't run away and why he also isn't going. Rodoplhe isn't too sure about this and tries to first make her think decently about it and when she says that she's curtain, he decides to stretch the date that they are planning to leave as much as possible. One day they go to a party of the maquis and there she meets the life that she wants to live. Charles thinks about it and finally agrees to it. When he enters the building, the priest comes up to him and asks him if he wants to have a tour of the building. Rodolphe decides that to keep the love going, he should leave for a few weeks and that's what he does. He was quite friendly and was willing to pay the money as long as he could have her as a prostitute.
