I think about this
book, a lot. And compare it with Anna Karenina a lot. I find so many
similarities between Emma Bovary and Anna Karenina though one book was set in
France and the other one in Russia.
Both books are pretty lengthy; I had to
struggle through Mr Tolstoy’s text but I had to finish it because the story was
gripping. The first similarity is in the two’s demise; they take their lives,
Emma from arsenic and Anna from throwing herself in the train tracks. |

Both
women were married to good, stable men but not finding the spark in their
marriages, had affairs with other men, Anna with Count Vronsky and Emma with
Rudolpho as well as and the despair in their affairs eventually drove them to
their death beds.
