Madame Bovary tells the tragic tale of Emma Rouault, a beautiful but idealistic young woman who marries a second-rate country doctor, Charles Bovary, in the hopes of leading a life of adventure and luxury, like in the romance novels she loves to read. But she finds herself sorely disappointed with her dull existence. Even the birth of their daughter brings Emma little joy. In a last-ditch effort to do something adventurous and exciting, she begins an affair with a wealthy local man, Rodolphe Boulanger, and therein begins her downfall.

Gustave Flaubert was a highly influential 19th-century French novelist. He was a major proponent of realism as a writing style and greatly disliked ambiguity and the abstract, even going as far as to avoid clichés. His most popular works include Madame Bovary (his debut novel) and Salammbô. Many writers and authors drew their inspiration from Flaubert and his style of staunch realism, including Franz Kafka, Guy de Maupassant, and Émile Zola.
