"Madame Bovary" sisukokkuvõte inglise keeles
When Emma becomes pregnant, Charles decides to move to a different town in
hopes of reviving her health.
In the new town of Yonville, the Bovarys meet Homais, the town pharmacist, a pompous windbag who
loves to hear himself speak. Emma also meets Leon, a law clerk, who, like her, is bored with rural life and
loves to escape through romantic novels. When Emma gives birth to her daughter Berthe, motherhood
disappoints her--she had desired a son--and she continues to be despondent. Romantic feelings blossom
between Emma and Leon. However, when Emma realizes that Leon loves her, she feels guilty and throws
herself into the role of a dutiful wife. Leon grows tired of waiting and, believing that he can never possess
Emma, departs to study law in Paris. His departure makes Emma miserable.
Soon, at an agricultural fair, a wealthy neighbor named Rodolphe, who is attracted by Emma's beauty,
declares his love to her. He seduces her, and they begin having a passionate affair
