Using Madame Bovary By Gustave Flaubert

I first read Madame Bovary in college. I learned why it is harmful to have a society where some people have no power. In Madame Bovary the main character had to marry a simple man and live through him. Her power went as far as he could go. Our power should extend as far as our abilities could take us. Madame Bovary makes us empathize with women. The main character becomes self destructive because the society that she was in kept her bound. I come from a people that is given limited opportunity by this society so I related to Madame Bovary easily. Madame Bovary exposed me to an idea that I came to know later. In this novel a character dies from a broken heart. As a dark man trapped in the United States I knew how heart ache could injure us, but I never thought a person could die from a broken heart. As I have lived a little longer I can see how people can die from broken hearts. With a society that cannot give women a fair opportunity to seek the highest office in the land Madame Bovary will be beneficial to everyone.
