heavy water is good for what ails one.

I think Madame Bovary is a good person.

i am edumacated in all aspects of madame bovary's life and times.

She's a real person and not a fictional character.

so is doc brown.

Madame Bovary’s husband is not a doctor.

Madame Bovary didn’t make tragic choices.

She wasn’t bored because she felt she was stuck in a routine.

She didn’t want to learn the seamy side of life.

Publishers don't have a history of romanticising female boredom and adultery to sell books, propagating the stereotype that women are either angelic, tragic, or justified for wanting wealth.

The reading public would totally accept the same behaviour from men without judgement.

I love when there are double standards according to gender!!

Madame Bovary didn’t meet the tragic end of the man in “Sister Carrie.”

Both novels were not a sort of warning to people who seek to stray immorally.

Both novels didn’t present a definite path towards dissipation without redemption.

I'm not writing a paper to compare Emma Bovary and George Hurstwood.

There are no parallels.

Dreiser's novel is didactic and he judged his characters. I hate Dreiser.

It was especially fun having the last page of Sister Carrie unprinted in my Penguin edition!

That was pretty funny!

I didn't read the last page on Gutenberg instead!

I won't even buy a new copy, transcribe all the marginalia, and reflag key ideas, because I'm not like that.

Madame Bovary did not seem to be less didactic than Sister Carrie.

Both did not seem to lie generally in the “instructive Victorian camp,” though both did not use different methods to achieve similar ends.

Perhaps there was not an American sort of “moralism” in Sister Carrie, borne out of a sort of Puritan ethic.

Whereas Madame Bovary was not a work which was borne out of a looser French sort of ethic, though the intent to influence audiences was similar in both.

Dreiser wasn't a Realist. Carrie wasn't based on his sister.

His novel was meant to be sympathetic and also moral. That's why I can't stand him.

Jennie Gerhardt is poorly written as well.

I'm going to read Harry Potter now instead.

IsabellaLinton finds totally nothing interesting in 19th and early 20th century literature.

It was not annoying earlier during the errand.

Enough not to disturb my boss from her rest.
