A gamekeeper whom the doctor had pulled through an attack of congestion of the lungs had presented Madame with a little Italian greyhound. That greyhound was called Djali. She took it with her for walks, for she used to go out sometimes just to get a few moments to herself and to enjoy a change from the everlasting garden and the dusty highroad. Because the dog had big soulful eyes she felt that he empathised with her own tormented feelings and she used him as a confidant.

a story of adultery and unhappy love affair of the provincial wife Emma Bovary. As a writer Flaubert was a perfectionist, who did not make a distinction between a beautiful or ugly subject: all was in the style. The idea, he argued, only exists by virtue of its form - its elements included the perfect word, cunningly contrived and verified rhythms, and a genuine architectural structure.
Madame Bovary was published in two volumes in 1857, but it appeared originally in the Revue de Paris, 1856-57. - Emma Bovary is married to Charles Bovary, a physician. As a girl Emma has read Walter Scott, she has romantic dreams and longs for adventure.
Emma seeks release from the boredom of her marriage from love affairs with two men - with the lawyer Léon Dupuis and then with Rodolphe Boulanger. Emma wants to leave her husband with him. He rejects the idea and Emma becomes ill. After she has recovered, she starts again her relationship with Léon, who works now in Rouen. They meet regularly at a hotel. Emma is in heavy debts because of her lifestyle and she poisons herself with arsenic. Charles Bovary dies soon after her and their daughter Berthe is taken care of poor relatives. Berthe starts to earn her living by working in a factory. - The novel created an outrage. Flaubert was even tried and acquitted on charges of immorality for it. The character of Emma was important to the author - society offered her no escape and once Flaubert said: "Emma, c'est moi." Delphine Delamare, who died in 1848, is alleged to have been the original of Emma Bovary.
