Özet:

All the characters in the novel Madame Bovary carry the characteristics of the life culture, norms and values of the social class to which they belong. The most important indicator to deal with these features is the attitudes they show against the concrete realities they live in. The main hero of the novel, Emma Bovary, which Flaubert took the bourgeoisie as a framework, and all of the second-degree important persons show common behavior patterns, except for their personal character characteristics. The city doctor Charles Bovary, which symbolizes the rise of the bourgeoisie from the 1830s, the pharmacist M. Homais and the merchant Lheureux, identify the dramatic story of Emma Bovary. The subtitles of the novel, the Taşra Parties, are a criticism of its own values, the statue, the intellectuality, the art and the literature, the materialist, ordinary, and very small bourgeois traditions. While Charles Bovary demonstrates the abomination, invalidity and stupidity of the bourgeoisie, which, with his personality, selfishness, conformism and narrow horizon, puts life down to physical pleasure and material satisfaction, the pharmacist Homais and the trader Lheureux become the symbols of excitement, opportunity, exploitation, money aspiration, social influence, demonstration and self-giveness and material morality.
