  Blah Tuesday Finished reading Madame Bovary last night. I think it must have been designed to warn young girls of living a frivolous life. Young woman falls in love, marries. Then realizes she's not really in love. Miserable existence, falls in love with another young man. Resists temptation, continues miserable existence. Another man meets her, decides he will have her.
And he does. They have an elicit affair, and she is blissfull for 2 years. He leaves her, and she almost dies of grief. Runs into the first young man, falls into an affair with him. Husband knows nothing about it. And all the while, she gets herself & husband so far in debt that the officials come to sell her stuff. In her final moment of desperation, she asks her current lover for help in getting money, he can't.
She goes to her first lover for help, he won't. Instead of repenting, telling her husband the truth and seeing the error of her ways, she decides to eat arsenic and kill herself. Husband dies of grief at losing her, their little daughter is left penniless and orphaned. Nice bedtime story, huh? No wonder I'm feeling low today. Diva out.
