Oh, Madame Bovary!
Madame Bovary, serialized in the Paris magazine in 1856-1857, caused a sensation in the literary world and made flaubert, a reclusive writer, famous. Flaubert is famous, I will not repeat it, today I will focus on this book about women's close-ups - "Madame Bovary".
It is said that the story of Madame Bovary is based on reality. It tells that Mrs. Bovary Emma (hereinafter referred to as Emma) married Mr. Bovary, dissatisfied with the ordinary married life, and engaged in two extramarital affairs, and finally ended up ruined and took poison to commit suicide. I don't know how other people will react when they see the synopsis of this story, but I was momentarily filled with anticipation. After all, extramarital affairs, bankruptcy, suicide, can there be a more eye-catching story than this?
So, with a gossipy mind, I opened the book, and after reading it, what haunted my heart was not the pleasure of hunting, but the bleakness that could not be let go for a long time.
As a retiring active teenager, I can easily empathize with Emma's love vision. After all, I grew up under the influence of the literature of youth pain, and I always lay on the bed, looking at the snow-white ceiling, trying to know: happiness, enthusiasm, intoxication, these words that appear so beautiful in books, what does it mean in life?
The dark woods, the inner turmoil, the endless vows, the constant whimpering, the endless tears, the kissing endless kisses, the boat under the moon, the nightingale in the forest, the lover brave like a lion, the gentle like a lamb, the character can not be better, the clothes are always flawless, crying but tearful... Fifteen-year-old Emma, her hands covered in dust on the pages, was a scene of flow in front of her.
Emma is looking forward to plunging into the terrifying waves of love, experiencing the taste of life and death, liver and intestines. But reality only gave her a small puddle, reflecting a miserable white light in the sun. In fact, this should be the dilemma that most romantic women (or men) will encounter. After the fireworks of the cannibal, many of the previous visions of love will collapse under the destruction of time and human nature.
Life after marriage is as calm as a pool of stagnant water. Mr. Bovary really took the boredom to the extreme! He doesn't joke, he doesn't say playful words, he's like a sidewalk, bland. Here is a little off-topic, a few days ago when watching the movie and interacting with the movie group, the host asked me when I quarreled with my boyfriend, girls most want the man to use the following ways to coax themselves? A. Sweet talk, B. Give gifts. Sure enough, I, a gift-loving person, contributed a wrong answer. According to the host, previous surveys showed that 28% of girls thought sweet talk was more effective, and 26% of girls thought that gift giving was better. Alas, I don't know when this survey was done, but the girls around me certainly did not enter the sampling range, otherwise, I would certainly be able to encourage my sisters to fill the 2% gap.
To get back to the point, to quote this example is to say that sweet words and humor are actually quite important in the relationship between the sexes. After all, sweet tongue, who doesn't love it?
Emma, who lived a boring life after marriage, developed her first extramarital affair under the seduction of the bad man Rodolfo. In fact, I thought for a long time, do you want to use a bad man to describe Rodolfo, and then a clever move - Rodolfo's bad is not the bad of men, women do not love the bad? So, without saying a word, this title is none other than Rodolfo! This kind of man, generally not ugly, has spontaneously formed a set of hunting procedures because of the long-standing wind and moon field. He will keenly capture the missing emotions in you, create multiple encounters, and make up for your regrets about this lack. After your heartstrings are plucked, he will immediately wrap you in the sea oath mountain alliance, giving you endless promises and expectations, and most damningly, he will always appear around you, surround you with affectionate eyes. Finally, you fell into his deep love, and he replaced the warmth under his eyes with ridicule, seeing that you were difficult to control and confused. I was exposed to the accounting industry in my early years, and when I read this part, I quickly gave Rodolph a thumbs up in my heart, good guy, Ponzi scheme can play enough!
But then again, since it is a scam, there will always be a day when it will be punctured. After all, nearly 300 pages of the book, I have only read 150 pages, do not uncover the scam, can not close ah! Emma, who saw the truth, fainted at home. Women, although they have life to have love, but if there is no love, what can they do to nourish life?
Emma, who had suffered such blows, was disheartened and devastated, and even made Mr. Bovary think that his wife had cancer. Emma, who had a hard time slowing down, developed a second extramarital affair with the intern Leon by chance. According to the text, the second extramarital affair is a sister-brother relationship. When he was not familiar with the world, Leon had fallen in love with Emma, but at that time, he was limited to the cowardice and moral restraint of both parties, and these hearts did not end. So, brothers and sisters, people who can't catch up now, problems that can't be solved, money that can't be earned... Don't be busy with death, maybe the heavenly path is reincarnated, when you are comfortable and calm, things may be done on their own.
The second relationship was accompanied by Emma's financial crisis. To put it bluntly, it is at the beginning of the borrowing of a little money, love and borrowing some money, but these money are borrowed in batches, and the creditors do not want you to repay immediately, and return to the credit. Over time, the profits rolled in, and the creditors assessed, and you got to the point where you were basically going to dump your money to pay off your debts. The time has come to demand that you pay off your debts in minutes. Is this plot familiar? Like the current situation where young people use flowers and borrow money? Don't ask me why I'm linking the two, otherwise why do you think my spending limit has risen from 2,000 to 20,000?
Emma, who is still in debt, asks her former lover Rodolfo and her active-duty lover Leon for help, respectively. After hearing about the amount of debt, both men said they couldn't help it. In the end, a desperate Emma swallowed rat poison and passed away with mixed emotions.
Personally, I think that the biggest highlight of the book "Madame Bovary" is the portrayal of the psychology of female characters. Flaubert portrays the anxious, bored, struggling, and mentality of women after marriage who want to change and cannot change them into a remote and reasonable way, respect! But at the same time, I don't know whether I read less books or what the reason is, it seems that I have not read much of the works that female writers portray male psychology particularly well. I guess it's because for thousands of years, under the patriarchal system, most women can only obey, dare not speculate on the male mind, and dare not resort to words. At this thought, it was as if I saw a fountain of literary creation about to gush out of my skull. Maybe that day, you type three words into Bovary on the search engine, and what comes out will be "Mr. Bovary", which must be the textualization of my creativity.
