Who is guilty for the tragedy of Emma( Madame Bovary, Flaubert)she or others? ,?

Answer 1

Do you mean Emma the novel of Jane Austen??

Answer 2

Flaubert’s treatment of his protagonist is ambivalent. He ridicules Emma’s romantic tendencies and lambasts them as not only impractical, but ultimately harmful. At the same time however, Flaubert never seems to put any blame on Emma herself. Instead he seems to indicate that Emma is incapable of freeing herself from these traits. Indeed, Emma herself questions, and seems perplexed by, why she is unable to be happy with her life. Also, despite his critical view of Emma, Flaubert is equally critical in his depictions of the country bourgeois who surround and foil Emma.

Answer 3

Absolutely, positively Emma herself is responsible for her tragedy. First, she chooses an unsuitable husband. Now, it could be argued that she had limited options and lack of opportunities to meet suitable men in 19th century, rural France. However, nobody forced her to marry Bovary. Next she spurns a wonderful young man who was clearly in love with her. Then she chooses a wholly unsuitable lover, failing to see that he is in fact a liar and philanderer. Then she takes up with the previously spurned young man again.
All this time, while she is totally engrossed in her own fantasies about love and romance, she ignores her child, is cruel to her husband, fights with her mother-in-law and blows all the family money on luxuries, leaving her husband and child penniless.
Emma, through her lack of realism and selfish pursuit of romantic love is totally 100% responsible for her tragic life and death.

Answer 4

Well, I think the text intends us to hold Emma responsible; she's a flighty, irresponsible fool and a bad mother, to boot. However, as with most great books, the full story is complicated by what the book reveals about her society: in this case, that a woman's (and maybe everyone's) range of choices is so circumscribed by society that our situations lend themselves to desperation.
