But he created a type of character and not just an individual. Certainly Flaubert himself knew what it was to pine for someone, to indulge in excessive romantic ideals and to have your heart crushed. He is believed to have once declared: ” Madame Bovary, c’est moi.” though there is no actual proof of it in writing. That woman was Madame Bovary, the creation of Gustave Flaubert who was one of the pioneers of the Realist movement in literature. She also suffered from enormous delusions of grandeur. She had a highly idealized image of romantic love thanks to the sentimental novels she read secretly during her girlhood in her convent school. There was once a woman who was obsessed with the idea of love. “ Madame Bovary” is the book I had to read as part of the Classics Club spin hosted by The Classics Club and I thoroughly enjoyed re-reading it. ![]()
