Charles adores his new wife, but Emma is soon bored and disappointed.

Not long after, Charles’s wife dies of a nervous ailment, and within a year Charles and Emma are married. During his visit, Charles is enchanted by the man’s daughter, a beautiful, elegant girl named Emma. One night, he receives a call to set a man’s broken leg. His solicitous mother finds him a wealthy middle-aged wife named Madame Dubuc, and the couple move to a small town called Tostes, where Charles begins to practice medicine. After struggling though primary school and a series of courses in medicine that he finds inscrutable, Charles passes his exams and becomes a doctor. So, I think the pace is quite an important element of the story: perhaps it is the main theme of the story itself.The novel begins by introducing us to a teenaged Charles, awkward, mild, dull, and studious. And the same thing when the soldier - her first lover - abandons her: The slow pace - her life, in essence, her ennui (reflected in the story of Emma Bovary)- changes when she meets him: secret meetings, the gossip of the town, the suspense of her clandestine rendez-vous - these are in direct contrast to that pace and when he leaves her out of his sense of feeling trapped by her expectations - this broke my heart the first time I read it and even this time, while re-reading, I was again very sad - I felt such pity - and this, too, contrasted with the slow pace of the prose style, and I suddenly wanted to read the entire novel that very night, to know more of what her mind was going through, her thoughts, her sense of desperation. Its pace is slow in the beginning, but the revelations - the drama - is worth waiting for, and it kind of makes the slow pace of the beginning of the book work: for example, Emma's relationship to her child: when we see how cold she is towards the child, and the way this - I would call it indifference - is revealed: it is (at least to me) shocking - and that slow pace adds to this shock.
