Emma, the only daughter, lost her mother in her teens. 13 was sent to an isolated monastery by her father. Strict hospital regulations, boring and rigid teaching and simple life have not only failed to imprison Emma's heart, on the contrary, love and marriage, which are often quoted in sermons and mass, have aroused her infinite interest and unexpected joy. /kloc-at the age of 0/5, she has read many romantic literary works in private, and is more and more fascinated by the dreamy artistic conception in the Middle Ages, such as Boat under the Moon, Nightingale in the Woods, Delicate Girl and Affectionate Son, The Ascending Virgin and Elegant Knight, and yearns for the ethereal and gloomy artistic conception in Ramadan's poems. The abbot and nuns of the monastery were very disappointed with Emma's incorrigibility.
After marriage, Emma is full of longing for a new life. She is full of hope that this marriage will bring her the love she dreams of. But she was soon disappointed. Honest, dull and plain-dressed, Bovary not only didn't give Emma any satisfaction in her emotional life, but also talked flatly and had vulgar opinions, neither ambitious nor ignorant. They are getting closer and closer in life, but farther and farther in spirit, so that Emma even fantasizes that she can suddenly meet another smart, handsome and beautiful man in life.
At this moment, a great event happened in Emma's life: one day at the end of September, the Bovary couple were lucky enough to be invited to a dance by Marquis Ondel Villier of Besal, which made Emma live a noble life in the upper class for the first time in her life. With a feeling of envy and novelty, she peeped at the coquettish sluts and the dissolute aristocratic gentlemen on the dance floor. The luxurious feast, luxurious costumes, colorful decorations, fanatical music and dancing steps made Emma ecstatic. She danced until the next morning, and finally reluctantly left the marquis's house. Emma will never forget her trip to Wapisa. She put away her clothes and even a pair of embroidered shoes for the dance, taking the memories of the dance as a relief from her daily life, and often missed the viscount who danced with her. Since then, she has been longing for this luxurious life more and more, hoping that it can reappear.
Four years have passed. Life is as dull as before, and Emma finds it really unbearable. Her temper became surly and willful, and her body gradually became abnormal. Finally, Bovary listened to Emma's complaints about the local climate. In March, they moved from Dot to Jinyong Town. At this time, Emma was pregnant.
Although Yongzheng is a small town, it is more lively than Dot. On the day they arrived in Yongzheng, a blond young man? Ryan, an intern from Mr. Mann's office, caught Emma's attention and interest. Soon, they shared common interests and became close friends. Soon, Emma will give birth. Before giving birth, she hopes to have a boy. In her view, men are free, they can taste enthusiasm, travel around the world and enjoy the joy of the ends of the earth, while women are not. Not to mention the constant obstacles, bound by laws and etiquette everywhere. Unexpectedly, Emma gave birth to a girl, and she fainted with grief. Ryan's frequent visits cast a glimmer of hope on Emma's melancholy life, and she seemed to feel that what she was pursuing could be touched immediately. But Ryan, after all, is young and timid. Although he is drooling over Emma, he can't help but cringe. Emma also dare not have deviant behavior. Soon, Ryan will leave Yongzhen for Rouen, and Emma says goodbye to him with great sadness.
Emma's life became more dreary and sad. She resented Bovary's inability to observe her spiritual sorrow and hated the vulgar and humble life in the town. She felt that the depression in her heart could not be eliminated, so she wanted to ask the priest for help. But the priest was so numb that he didn't understand her mind at all, and Emma was even more disappointed.
One day, Yongzhen market. Old hands in the field of romance? A manor called Rudolph nearby? Brown's landlord came to see a doctor and took a fancy to Emma. He coveted Emma's beauty and deceived Bovary's stupidity, so he tried to seduce Emma.
The opportunity came, and a famous local agricultural exhibition opened. Rudolph quickly won Emma's heart in the bustling crowd. He took Emma by the arm and walked to a secluded place in the exhibition, often showing off her hypocritical behavior and rap. Rudolph's sweet words and intimate bold actions suddenly reminded her of the past, as if Rudolph was the blond viscount at the ball of Besal and Leon, and the sweetness came to her. Although the state chief executive's long speech praising the king's good governance and the interesting scenes at the exhibition award ceremony attracted their attention from time to time, Rudolph and Emma had already got the message and met each other late. After that, Rudolph didn't show up for six weeks. Rudolph is well aware of the psychological impact this will cause. Sure enough, Emma is more and more eager to see him. When Rudolph saw Emma again and offered to go for a ride with her, Emma readily agreed. They rode to the depths of the forest, and Rudolph easily got his hand. After that, the two vowed to each other, and love letters came frequently, and Emma was completely addicted to new joy.
Dr. Bovary is always content with the status quo and does not pursue fame and fortune. One day, he read an article praising the new method of treating his foot. Deeply moved, he felt homesick. In addition, a person who has been trying to please him, starting a business without a license, is bent on getting it? Love the countryside? Encouraged by Hao Mai, a well-received local pharmacist, and encouraged by Emma again and again, Bovary decided to give a cripple in the village a plastic surgery that no one had ever done before. At least the surgery is complete. Hao Mai immediately wrote a successful propaganda article for the newspaper. Before it was published, the poor little guy had already had a bad operation, so he had to invite a famous doctor from Xincheng to have an amputation. This incident greatly humiliated Bovary, and Emma was ashamed of it. She felt that all her hopes and desires for Bovary were shattered, and Bovary's image had left her life and would never come back.
The hatred for her husband aroused Emma's stronger love for Rudolph, and they often met. The decline of life made Emma more eager to enjoy life. Used to blackmail fashionistas, Lele, the owner of * *, took the opportunity to bring her all kinds of Paris decorations. When the money was not enough, she began to borrow money from Lele. Emma feels that she can't survive a day in this environment because she hates family life and is addicted to promiscuity. She begged Rudolf to take her away. Rudolph agreed on the surface, but in fact he took part in the act. His determination not to elope with her added a burden to his bohemian life. So Rudolph resolutely decided to abandon Emma and run away alone. Before he left, he wrote a fake letter to Emma and sprinkled water droplets to fill his tears. After Emma received the letter, she watched Rudolph's carriage gallop away from Yongzheng from the window, and she was disheartened, dizzy and fainted.
Emma was ill for more than forty days in a row, and Bovary never left. He didn't lend money to treat Emma. 10 Emma was finally able to sit up in June, and the next spring was greatly improved. In order to distract Emma, Bovary took Emma to Rouen to see a play. Coincidentally, Emma met Ryan again at Rouen Theatre. Leon's old flinch and timidity have long since disappeared. He decided not to miss this opportunity, so he waited for the opportunity to visit Emma. Emma couldn't resist Ryan's temptation and teasing, rekindled her old love, and happily came to the church for an appointment at noon the next day. Two people got into the carriage, and both of them went to the suburbs and wandered until 6 pm.
In order to see Ryan often, Emma goes to Rouen once a week on the pretext of learning piano. Since then, their trysts have become more frequent, Emma has become more indulgent and her life has become more luxurious. One day, their secret was discovered by Lele, and the sly Lele kept silent, but took the opportunity to collect debts. Emma had to use real estate as a last resort. So Emma kept borrowing and selling, and soon pawned all her property. Ruthless Lele urged him to pay his debts many times, and finally the court seized all the movable property of Bovary's family. Emma came to Ryan, who refused to open the door at first, then pretended to promise to try, and finally ran away every day. Emma was forced to find Mr. Guiman. Ju Yuman took advantage of people's danger to insult Emma. Emma was furious and left angrily. In desperation, Emma thought of Rudolph again, and she imagined that Rudolph would help her save her old love. Who knows that when Rudolph knelt at Emma's feet and vowed to love her forever, Emma borrowed 3000 francs from him. Rudolph's face suddenly changed and he refused. This ungrateful forgetfulness made Emma desperate, and at that time the twists and turns of her life appeared in front of her. She hurried to the pharmacist's house, pretended to kill the mouse, asked for the key to the pharmacy, opened the door, grabbed a handful of arsenic and swallowed it in one gulp. And leave a letter calmly? Don't blame anyone. A suicide note, died in a painful struggle.
The death of Emma made Bovary feel infinite sadness. But he didn't explore the reason why Emma committed suicide. So that one day he found a letter from Rudolph to Emma in the attic. He naively thought it was just a spiritual love.
No one has come to see Bovary since he went bankrupt. He died of poverty and depression. The sundries left behind were only sold for a dozen francs. My daughter was forced to go to relatives and was finally sent to a cotton mill as a female worker.
