Madame Bovary background

Madame Bovary

A young woman, enthralled by romance and literature, marries a country doctor who adores her. However, her hopes for passion and excitement are quickly dashed, leading her to fantasize about a law student.

A naive young bride, swept away by romantic ideals, marries a devoted country doctor, only to find herself trapped in a loveless marriage. She seeks excitement in affairs with a law student and a clerk, while her husband's fortunes dwindle due to her reckless spending and ill-advised business advice.
