包法利夫人性格分析

If this book became traditional universal of the literature of an always current power, it is above all because of the character eponyme. Emma Bovary is a romantic heroin of a rare size and a modernite for the time. She is one of these hearts which carry in them the conscience that the prodigal world in promises is quite poor of effects. Its aspiration has the exaltation, with lyricism, has the size, against romantic of the existence runs up has the desesperante insipidity of reality. It is thirsty for an absolute in the love, in the daily newspaper, which cannot be satisfied that in the extraordinary one. Veiled its misfortune which it will fight in the literature has the water of pink, then gradually in the adultere. In vain. There is something of attractive, and accept to it the horrible one, in this incapacite has to live, has to accept the reel, its reel. Slowly, it builds its descent into Hell, a decadence which adds some with the myth and the romanticism of the character. Emma is not satisfied with rever, it compromises herself, corrompt with the wire of the pages, fan, blackens herself, until A to become a driving bolt.

表面上看来,《包法利夫人》符合19世纪批判现实主义文学的体裁惯例。但是,前文的分析表明,这种判断至少是不够准确的。在叙述主体和接受主体两个层面上,福楼拜总是先按照常规划出了一条轨道,然后又不断煞费苦心地偏离这条轨道。与其说这是福楼拜的独具匠心的艺术创造,不如说这是他有意布设的叙述圈套——进行一场叙述的游戏。之所以得出这样的结论,可以从以下几个方面加以说明。

首先,从作者与人物的关系来看。爱玛的希望,就是将平庸生活浪漫化、艺术化;她的绝望也是源于现实与理想的巨大差距。而作家福楼拜的人生,何尝不是如此呢?在他看来,现实生活庸俗可鄙,只有凭借唯美的艺术才使痛苦得以暂时解脱。
