I though Flaubert despised her. She's vapid, without sense of recourse, and unpitiable.
-
He said she was modeled on himself though, so I dunno about that.
-
The two are not exclusive. Frankly, a heaping measure of self loathing and dark humor seems fitting.
-
But that still assumes we're meant to hate her. I don't.
-
Not at all. It assumes only that Flaubert enjoyed hating himself. Which I find kinda charming.

Brilliant, makes me want to read the book again.I've never seen Emma as a particularly sympathetic character, it was easy to despise her.

Yes. I wrote a paper about this in school & when you think about what a narcissist she is you start to realize she’s flawed like all of us.
