Themes in Madame Bovary

Themes Examples in Madame Bovary:

Part I - Chapter Two

"She was dead! What a surprise! When all was over at the cemetery Charles went home..." See in text (Part I - Chapter Two)

Another prime example of realism; in Romanticism the death would have been "disguised" as something allegorical, there would have been a different type of sadness, and some emotion would have ensued. In this novel that does not occur. Life events happen and life goes on.
