Summary:
The wife of a dull country doctor, trapped in a soul-smothering bourgeois village, Emma Bovary seeks passion and fulfillment in scandalous liasons. For a time she is happy; she feels she is living the glamorous life she's always longed for. But when reality intrudes--when adultery becomes as bleak and tedious as her marriage--Emma is shattered. Overwhelmed by lonliness and debt, she embraces her final tragic fantasy in one of the most stunning scenes in all literature.
