Her reading perfectly captures the restlessness of Emma Bovary, a character perpetually dissatisfied with her solid, steady husband and bourgeois life in provincial 19th-century France. Glenda Jackson hits the mark in this superb narration of Flaubert's classic novel. Charles, who cherishes her memory, discovers about her cheating only later and still tries to find her excuses before he dies himself. Madame Bovary commits suicide by the end of the narrative after having drowned herself in irredeemable debt.
She even unsuccessfully attempts to elope with one of her lovers once. She indulges in sexual adventures with two different partners while her husband never suspects anything. The story then becomes entirely focused on the character of Emma who soon gets bored of her marital status and starts to look for extramarital relations. He is given the opportunity to get closer to Emma and marry her after the death of his first wife. While being married, he has an acquaintance with a beautiful young woman named Emma with whom he falls in love. He first marries an elder woman that his mother chooses for him. Charles is trained to be a medical doctor and then starts practicing his job. The book recounts the life story of Charles Bovary, a young man from northern France who has been brought up by his mother to become rather a simpleton. It belongs to the realistic movement of fiction and has often been considered by critics as one of its most important foundational works. Madame Bovary (1856) is the French novelist Gustave Flaubert’s much-celebrated masterpiece that has been translated into more than forty languages in the world.
