      1 包法利夫人英文读后感

after reading this novel, i feel sympathy for emma. i would

rather call her emma than madame bovary because i think

whenever a woman should appear as an independent person,

not a wife belonging to any man, especially at that time in

france, a relatively stable mediocre era.

emma had a basic instinct like all the people: unsatisfied

with what she had and pursuing what she wanted. there is

nothing wrong with her idea like this. even in today ’s society, it will be regarded as a positive attitude. if emma could balance

her dream and family, maybe she could be a successful

woman, for example, a romanticist.

however, she couldn ’t. in fact she was wrong in her

childhood: at the age of thirteen, she was wrongly sent to

receive aristocratic education, which was not suitable for her

as a farmer ’s daughter. the wrong education left erosion in her

heart. from then on, her life drifted?away from?the?actual

world. her dream was too far away from her real life.

the impractical dream formed her wrong character and the

wrong character decided her sad life. so she was bound to be

a tragedy.

it ’s hard to say that emma didn ’t understand love. in my

opinion, she was a person who held on to love, unluckily, in a

wrong way. after emma married mr. bovary, she had two affairs.

it was condemned as immoral at that time and many people

regard her as a dissolute woman. however ，i notice that when emma was driven into the corner, she asked guillaumin, the

notary, for help. guillaumin promised her on condition that he

could own her. however, emma refused him confirmedly: “i am to be pitied, not to be bought. ” she cherished the love with her lover and once she was in love, she would never look at any

other man. from this aspect, i think she was not of loose moral.

she fell in love with another man and each time she regarded it

as true love. she devoted herself into it, willing to give up

everything for the so-called love. i think there is nothing wrong

with love itself. the?irony?is?that she showed her loyalty to

her lover, not her husband, moreover, she was unlucky to have

fake love. she was cheated. in fact, she also was a victim.

although i sympathize with emma, it doesn ’t mean that she didn ’t do anything wrong. at least, as a wife, she was disloyal

to her husband; as a mother, she was not responsible to her

daughter. even at last, she splurged on all her husband ’s money. she destroyed her family with her own hands.

as a matter of fact, everyone in today ’s society is

emma.there is greed, lust and vanity in everyone ’s heart. emma, as a literary character, is famous around the world

because she is typical for a group of people and she speaks

out what others dare not say. it is hard to say she is good or

bad, she just not belongs to the society she lived in.

i always think that if everything could return to its origin, if

at first emma lived as a country girl, later marrying mr. bovary,

would she be content to act as a housewife and live through

life banally? maybe. the only regret is that she went wrongly at

first.

madame bovary is the greatest novel written by gustave

flaubert. the 1855

masterpiece portrays in searing detail the tragic tale of a

young girl whose dreams turned into nightmares; whose

sandcastles are swept away by unfulfilled passion; whose

young life is ended in a tragic death. years before tolstoy

limned the adultress woman in his anna karenina we see the consequences which ensue when a middle class wife and

mother breaks the seventh commandment.
