description

A woman made unhappy by her dreams of an ideal love is the main character of two novels belonging to the Realist/Positivist movement: Gustave Flauberts’s Madame Bovary (1857) and Eliza Orzeszkowa’s On the Niemen (1888). Emma Bovary and Emilia Korczyńska have been educated according to the same sentimental pattern; they both have an undue feeling of being much more sublime than their milieu where they cannot find a man of their dreams. This makes them suffer and drift apart from real life.
