Social and Material Circumstances of the Establishment and Reception of Gustave Flaubert's Novel Madame Bovary

U ovom završnom radu analizirala sam djelo Gustavea Flauberta, Gospođa Bovary. Prikazan je život autora te nastanak djela koje je proglašeno nemoralnim te zbog kojeg se vodio sudski postupak protiv pisca. U prvom planu pojavljuje se lik Emme Bovary, njezine karakteristike, snovi, (ne)djela i smrt. Pokazano je kako knjige utječu na život običnog čovjeka, kako povezujemo Emmin lik sa stvarnim ljudima i samim autorom te kako nas rutina svaki dan iznova pomalo ubija i oduzima nam radost života. Likovima u djelu isprepleteni su životni putevi, ali svatko ovom drugom stvara kontrast te se većinom razlikuju. Emma Bovary predstavlja mnoge sanjare koji su nezadovoljni stvarnošću i koji traže bijeg u različitim pravcima na različite načine, ali vođeni istim problemom. Emma nije samo ime nekog lika, ona je sam autor.In this final thesis I will analyze the novel Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert. The author's life is shown in this novel and many other aspects of his life, e.g.; why this novel occurred, why it was declared immoral and why there was a trial held against the author. In the foreground appears the character of Emma Bovary, her emotional characteristics, dreams, bad decisions and her death. This novel shows how the books influenced the life of an ordinary man and how we associate Emma's character with common people. The author himself tried to show everybody that everyday routine somehow kills and takes away our joy of life. The life paths of characters in this novel are intertwined but each one creates some contrasts and they distinguish in a way. Emma Bovary represents many dreamers who are dissatisfied with reality and are seeking escape in different directions, but guided by the same problem. Emma is not only the name of a character, she is the author himself
