Abstract
In this book review, the writer explores the literary innovations used by Gustave Flaubert in his novel, "Madame Bovary". Contrary to the popular Romanticism of the time, Flaubert used realism in describing Emma Bovary's life. According to the writer, Flaubert used his novel to deconstruct romanticism by playing off of Madame Bovary's fantasies against the reality of her life.

From the Paper
"Emma Bovary is a woman who fantasizes about a life that is meant for the rich and famous. She purchases magazines so she can read of the latest fashions. She educates herself and takes music lessons. She even sends her own child to a wet nurse because that is what all the rich mothers in Paris do. She constantly lives beyond her means in order to escape the emptiness of her simple life. Emma lives through her fantasy novels. This is why the ball that she attended was such an important event to her. She could see the noble characters of her fantasies participating in such a regal event. As Emma said, "the memory of the ball would not leave her" though her memory of it would grow weak; "the yearning still remained (1121)". Emma was back in her simple existence, the place she longed to escape from."

Abstract
An essay arguing that Emma Bovary is not a victim of fate in Flaubert's novel 'Madame Bovary', but is the architect of her own ruin and that of her husband. The writer rejects the notion that these characters are victims of destiny and describes Emma as selfish.

From the Paper
"The notion that certain individuals are for whatever set of physiological social or psychological reasons destined to behave in a certain manner has intrigued both writers and scientists for hundreds of years. In the case of Gustave Flaubert's 'Madame Bovary' the reader is tempted to characterize Emma Bovary as a victim of fate understood as a set of forces that once put into motion overwhelm the individual actor and determine his or her destiny. However given the fact that Flaubert writes ..."

Abstract

The paper compares Emma to Don Quixote.

From the Paper
"The most significant side of Emma's childishness is connected with her desire to have wild love affairs that would resemble those she had read about in her books. Flaubert himself hints at Emma's child-like behavior, when she begins her relationship with Rodolphe. At first, Emma is absolutely ecstatic, but not with the relationship as such or with Rodolphe, but with the idea that she finally has a lover:..."

A comparative analysis of Flaubert's "Madame Bovary" and Ibsen's "Hedda Gabler" in respect to the feminist literary stategies and themes employed by the authors. The paper focuses on romantic ideals and feminist subversion.

From the Paper
"French novelist Gustave Flaubert was subjected to criminal judicial proceedings following the publication of "Madame Bovary", a book that allegedly depicted, at times lavisciously, the misadventures of an adulterous heroine. Flaubert himself was accused of failing to imbue his narrative with a condemnation of Emma's actions. Though Flaubert was ultimately acquitted, the infamous events surrounding his trial demonstrated the extent to which his deceitful protagonist, Emma Bovary, disturbed the sensibilities of patriarchal..."

Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses the book 'Madame Bovary' by Gustave Flaubert. The paper reports that this novel so scandalized the moral fiber of public prosecutors of the time, that a court suit was brought against it. According to the paper, while the book narrates intense desire and pursuit for wealth, romance and social status, it also exposes the unstable and unsettling place of women in society during time period of the book, which ultimately puts an end to Madam Bovary's intense pursuit and wild indiscretions.

From the Paper
"Her third opportunity is Rodolphe Boulanger, a wealthy landowner to whom Emma is only one in a string of mistresses. He is calculating, selfish and manipulative. He designs the seduction of Emma with strategic precision, runs an affair with her and leaves her when he gets bored of her romantic fancies and emotional demands. He represents the fulfillment of the rest of her intense dreams of wealth and class. She has the body and sensual means for it for a while, but her misplaced romantic ideals and demands do not fit the designs of Rodolphe, especially when she becomes indiscreet. Her beauty and the risks and excitement of adultery make her desirable to Rodolphe to feed his ego, but not her desires and personal requirements. Like Leon, Rodolphe has the options, which Emma does not have in a society, which puts women at a disadvantage and at the pleasure of men."

Abstract
This paper examines the film version of "Madame Bovary" made by Vincent Minelli in 1949. The paper examines the cuts and changes that Minelli had to make and how these focus attention onto certain points that are of less importance or not included in the novel, and how he cut elements of the novel in order to accommodate his needs or the motion picture industry.

From the Paper
"In trying to bring Madame Bovary to the screen, director Vincent Minelli had the problem that much of the story depended on Gustave Flaubert's brilliant narrative. In a novel, Flaubert's crafted sentences had held readers' attention for decades, but a translation into film seemed an insurmountable obstacle. Minelli found a device, by which he could have a narrator, a character playing Flaubert, introduce the movie, and at various time move the plot along. To do this, Minelli's "Madame Bovary" opens not with the novel itself, but with the trial of Gustave Flaubert on charges of presenting a morally degenerate woman as his heroine, thereby..."
