Madame Bovary is a classic novel written by the French writer Flaubert.
The story is about Emma, an aristocratic peasant girl who looks down on her husband who is a township doctor and dreams of legendary love, but her two steals of love, instead of bringing her happiness, make her the object of usury exploitation, and finally she accumulates debts and is desperate, so she has to take poison and commit suicide.
Mrs. Baumeri was beautiful when she was young:
"The girl is wearing a beautiful silk robe and has a beautiful outline of her figure."
"Her nails are shiny, cut into the shape of an almond, and she looks beautiful."
"Miss Emma's eyes are big and round, shining with charm, and her gaze is generous and not shy when she looks at people."
"Miss Emma's hair parted from the middle, like two dark clouds, moisturizing her hair more distinctly, combed neatly, without a hint of frizz."
"Miss Emma's face was rosy, like two red apples."
Miss Emma had white skin, and the sunlight from the silk umbrella sprinkled on her, making her skin appear even brighter. Miss Emma was smiling in the sun, and there was a warm wind blowing on all sides to the straps of Miss Emma's hip apron, swinging around with the wind, looking very stylish. ”
And she could play the piano," her fingers played fast, and the smooth melody flowed out of her fingertips, and if the windows were not closed it would ring, and the whole village would hear it," and would draw," and he (her husband Bovary) gave Emma a large frame and triumphantly showed it to others. ”
Can cut paper; can also make a good dish with unique creativity, so that the guests can appreciate it after eating; and will clean up the home very delicately.
It is such a woman, but in the best years of life to take arsenic to die, how ugly is her death?
Emma began to moan, at first just softly, then her shoulders trembled, her face turned pale, and her curled hands clutched the corner of the quilt... Her face began to turn blue, and beads of sweat kept seeping out of her face...
Emma's face was dead ash at this time, and she lay flat on the bed with her mouth open. The famous doctor (Dr. Villivier) had seen the suffering of countless patients, but he could not stop shedding tears when he saw Emma like this, dripping on the lace of his chest. ”
After Emma's death, her husband Bovary, who had always loved him deeply, was also tormented and went with her. Her elderly father was later paralyzed in bed, and her young daughter was sent to a factory by poor relatives to do child labor.
What a tragic ending.
Wrapped up in contemplation, I think the author is going to tell us these several truths through this beautiful woman.
First, choose a husband carefully
Emma was a woman of romantic feelings: "Sometimes how much she wished she lived in an old castle, like a slender lady, and then she waited every day, waiting for a knight on a black horse, wearing a beautiful helmet, to run from a distant field." ”
"A handsome man in a tuxedo and long-legged soft leather boots spoke to her."
And what kind of a person was Bovary?
"For a long time, he used to sleep in a cotton hat, and when he woke up in the morning, his hair would become very messy, and his hair looked dirty like white velvet, and he always wore a pair of sturdy boots with two thick folds on the back of his feet, like a shoe upper."
"Charles is a man with no romantic atmosphere, speaks plainly, looks ordinary, does not arouse anyone's interest, rarely can swim, can not fencing, and can not open a pistol. He really didn't have much to pursue in life. ”
"Charles expresses his feelings like a line of business, and every kiss and hug is a fixed pattern. It's like every day after dinner. It's a dish that's not very tasty. ”
The man in Emma's heart should have the power to take you to taste the passion of life, he has many ideas that can take you to achieve, and he is versatile and can make you admire him. And Charles, there is no heat for life at all, how can he help himself to achieve it.
Emma began to regret it shortly after getting married: "Remembering the recent days, she stomped her feet and kept thinking, Oh my God, why should I get married?" This kind of husband is not my ideal man at all! ”
Madame Bovary's failure to seriously choose the right person to marry may be the beginning of a tragic fate.
Second, how far can a man who can only sweet talk go.
Rodolph's appearance satisfied This romantic feeling of Emma.
Rodolfo is very sweet-talking, Rodolfo said: "One day when you feel discouraged, you may meet someone who can communicate spiritually, and maybe you will be willing to give him everything." ”
"You know what? I've never been so obsessed with a woman, how many times I've wanted to let myself go, but I can't help it, my whole body and mind are poured into your heart, but you shouldn't be like me, you should feel like a shadow, a shadow that can turn around and forget. ”
Rodolfo's love words flowed endlessly, "But I still hope that I can occupy a little bit of a place in your heart, in your life." Rodolph, a master of the love scene, knows a lot about women's hearts.
Rodolfo covered his face, looked very distressed, and said, "You know what? I think about you day and night, I feel very sad when I think of you, why you seem to be so close to me, but so far away, why do I have to keep my distance from you, I love you, you are like an angel, so beautiful and so lovely, I don't know what force pushed you to me, but I can't leave you now. ”
Madame Bovary was the first time she had heard a warm confession from someone else, and her heart felt very warm, and he felt that his body was soft and soft, as if he had stepped on a cloud.
Rodolfo continued his affectionate words: "You know what? Although I have not come to see you during this time, you will see me every day in my dreams, and sometimes I get up from bed in the middle of the night, look at the gentle moonlight outside the window and think of your face, look at the bright flowers in the garden, and think of how nice it would be to enjoy it with you. Then I thought that at this time you were next to another person, and my heart was really uncomfortable. ”
Madame Bovary was moved to tears when she heard him say this, and she said: Rodolfo, you are so good.
In this way, this woman threw herself like a moth to the arms of this man who could only sweet talk.
After the party, how did this man treat her?
Emma is genuine to his lover Rodov, who treats Emma only as a showmanship, for his own enjoyment, not true love.
When Emma offered to elope, the man suddenly woke up. "What sweet words, all are hypocrisy."
He wrote to Emma: "When you regret it, I will regret it, how painful we are, alas, why do I know you?" Our fate should not be, is this my fault? You can only blame fate, you can only say that you are so beautiful..."
Rodolfo excused himself with sweet words, and his heart was full of regret that he wanted to atone for his sins, but in fact he got rid of the Emmar carnival for himself in his heart.
"After writing the letter, he poured a little water in the cup and dipped it with his fingers." This man who made a scene even smeared false tears in the letter to disguise the illusion of sadness.
What is even more hateful is that when Emma was finally forced by debt and cornered, to find this lover who had sworn to the dead and lived in love, she was most coldly rejected.
She tried to knock on one of the doors, but never had the courage. But she knew that was her only hope. ”
"Rodolph! Can you lend me 3,000 francs? I'm bankrupt now. Hearing Emma say this, the expression on Rodolfo's face became solemn, this..."
"I was also forced to be helpless, the notary in charge of our property, he ran away with the money, we lost a lot of money, many patients came to see us without paying, our family is short of 3,000 francs, if you don't get it, you will be seized, please help me."
"Oh my God, this woman actually came to him for money." Rodolfo thought to himself. Then he said lightly, "I'm sorry, I don't have any money to lend you." ”
Emma walked out the door, and along the way she felt that the world was destroyed, and she was so tired that she couldn't catch her breath and couldn't stand at all.
Perhaps what destroyed Emma in the end was not only the money debt, but also the collapse of the spiritual world.
Third, at any time, never be saddled with debt.
When Emma and Rodolph were fighting fiercely and offered to elope, Rodolfo rejected Emma for various reasons and decided to leave.
When Emma saw Rodolfo's departing carriage, she "exclaimed, then fainted and fell to the ground." ”
Emma was ill for forty-three days.
When Emma's illness improves slightly, Emma meets her former handsome neighbor Leon, a handsome and somewhat poetic boy who fills the gap in Emma's loss of lover.
Emma became more and more indulgent, and she made up all sorts of reasons to date Leon. Most importantly, she spends a lot of money.
"Now Emma is becoming more and more arrogant, she always buys luxury things in a big way, and she likes to enjoy high-end food."
"Mr. Lehe also found the bill for Emma's purchase before, and the amount was staggering."
Leon said to find a more economical inn, but Emma insisted that she didn't, and she gave him money to book a high-end hotel. ”
Emma even sold her in-laws' house because she lacked money on hand. Her possessions and goods were acquired through a treacherous merchant named Lehe, who appeared to be kind on the surface, but was an insatiable usurer.
Emma spent more and more money, like a snowball. When she received an official document that read: "In accordance with the king's holy decree, the court ordered Madame Baumeri to pay off the arrears of eight thousand francs within a limit of twenty-four hours." ”
She was really scared.
Emma asked someone closest to her who knew her best to help, but no one helped her.
Lehe, who used to be very caring and caring, said coldly: "Then there is no way, ma'am, this is all caused by yourself, aren't you living a rather comfortable life?" Now you have to pay the price. ”
Her first lover, Rodolph, said, "I'm sorry, I don't have any money to lend you." ”
Her second lover, Leon, lied and said, "If at three o'clock I haven't come to you yet, then you don't have to wait." "How could he have come?"
Step by step, Emma went to destruction.
After reading this book, I thought about it for two days and got these three revelations, which are summarized as follows:
First, choose a husband carefully. If Emma chooses carefully before marriage, she can find a person who is compatible to get married, and there will be no unbearable life later.
Second, people who can only sweet talk are unreliable. Young girls, don't listen to the rhetoric of men. When you give a piece of sincerity, maybe he is laughing at your childishness and innocence in his heart.
Third, never be saddled with debt. People who want to be in debt will use all kinds of means to make you overwhelmed, or even go to the end of the road. Therefore, we must do what we can and live within our means.
