“One's duty is to feel what is great, cherish the beautiful, and to not accept the conventions of society with the ignominy that it imposes upon us.”
----Gustave Flaubert
Gustave Flaubert, one of the greatest Western novelists who ever lived in France, had penned a beautiful and thoroughly realistic story about common life in a provincial town of France, Madame Bovary and when the book published in the year of 1857, it caused an outrage among the common people of then times, later the book was widely accepted and people had agreed that Flaubert have vividly portrayed the triviality of a common housewife with nothing good to do to pass her days, apart from her religion and her motherhood.
I was tempted to buy this book from Amazon after watching the movie version with the same title featuring Mia Wasikowska and Ezra Miller, that released last month and is directed by Sophie Barthes. Although the movie didn't intrigue me that much, but Emma's life, portrayed through Mia Wasikowska, left me enthralled with the gravity of her pain and her exceptions about married life falling short.
