Query: Wanted to ring Emma's neck *Grrrrrrrr*

I can only imagine that for its time "Madame Bovary" must have been quite the shocking novel, dealing with the topics of adultery and religion, and I can appreciate the stir it must have caused.That being said I had a hard time reading the book and it took me quite a while to finish it. Some parts of the book started off very interesting and then seemed to just drag on, add to that the fact that there was nothing about Emma Bovary that I liked. She was a spoiled, self indulgent, mean person and I think if she lived today would have been diagnosed with some type of mood disorder. It always seemed like nothing was ever good enough for her and she liked to manipulate situations. I actually felt very bad for her husband, and could not understand why he loved her so much. The saddest thing about the whole story though seems to be that the only person who really seemed to suffer was Berthe, I hope she finds happiness in her life.
