Summary/Abstract: Located either in the centre or on the periphery of the vital circle of the men who cross her existence (Charles, Leon, Rodolphe), Emma Bovary often remains without direction and all that she knows in her short life is made of vicious circles. And yet, nothing announced it. Emma is a young girl, beautiful, fed with romantic dreams and hopeless hopes. Anything that could have saved her destroys her. In Madame Bovary, this emblem full of significant resources will be broken, destroyed, annihilated, hoped for, dreamed of and redone with an art that only Gustave Flaubert could be capable of. It is true that this dance of feelings, sensations, desires and falls brought him a trial, but also an irrefragable posterity.
