Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary: She could have learned a lot from Buffy Summers

Date of Review:  May 9, 2002
The Bottom Line: Read it with a grain of salt. I'd rather watch Buffy, myself, than read this again.
Review: I bet you never thought in a million years someone could ever draw a comparison between Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Flaubert?s classic novel Madame Bovary. But, as I sit here looking at my Buffy action figure, perched on my desk, I think to myself,...

Underappreciated Social Critique.

Date of Review:  Mar 4, 2001
The Bottom Line: A worthwhile read. Not one of my favorite books, but Flaubert gives us alot to think about.
Review: For those of you that think Madame Bovary is just a book about a woman and her failedsexual fantasies, you are missing an important part of the work.

Gustave Flaubert uses a town of prototypical Bourgeoisie characters in order to criticize...

Woman by the window or destructive reading: Gustave Flaubert's "Madame Bovary"

Date of Review:  Mar 10, 2004
The Bottom Line: This is a highly significant work of literature, whose ideas still resonate powerfully today.
Review: I first read Madame Bovary when I was in high school, and it shocked my impressionable teenage mind in a way I cannot quite describe. Suffice it to say, the book which outraged contemporary French readers, scandalized Leo Tolstoy, and spawned the...

Date of Review:  Nov 16, 2000
Review: ... you might enjoy this book. Personally, I found it tiresome, but then again, that's me, modern woman who actually takes action.

My friend and I are reading our way through a list of the classics, to widen our perspective and realize what...

Madame Bovary

Date of Review:  Nov 22, 2004
The Bottom Line: Madame Bovary is a wonderful examination of infedelity through the eyes of an amazing lead character
Review: Charles Bovary is a struggling Doctor, married to an older woman he supposes he loves, living out his daily life as one must: working, sleeping, eating. Mediocrity is what he has strived for, mediocrity is what he has attained. Though possessing a...

romanticism's clash with realism

Date of Review:  Dec 6, 2000
Review: It is widely believed that it took Flaubert 5 years to complete Mademe Bovary. His fascination with detail is clearly portrayed in his descriptions of events such as "the ball at the magistrate's house," "the operation" and the "agricultural show."...

Deliciously Scandalous!

Date of Review:  Aug 6, 2000
Review: Gustave Flaubert lived from 1821-1880. He is considered to be an exemplary French "realist" author and MADAME BOVARY is a "tour de force" is this genre: simply stated, his masterpiece. He put five years of work into composing and perfecting this...

The Risque 1800s

Date of Review:  Feb 28, 2000
Review: Madame Bovary is a classic novel, and if you read it, you'll understand why. For a book written well over a hundred years ago, it is incredibly modern, dealing with issues of marital fidelity and financial difficulties. Just one warning: Emma, the...

Scandal in the midst

Date of Review:  May 24, 2000
Review: Gustave Flaubert is known for his preciseness in writing, which is exactly how I would describe Madame Bovary. Flaubert ingeniously crafts his novel as a blatant criticism of the shallow and misguided bourgeoisie.

What I find particularly...
