Flaubert's the Poetics of Adultery

Emma was rediscovering in adultery all the platitudes of marriage. This is harsh and terrifying news for both the adulterous and the loyally married. The prosecutor leaped on this sentence during flaubert's 18 57 trial. So when it came to book publication later that year, flaubert was persuaded to soften the phrase - du becomes son. In 18 73, he reverted to du making emma's bleak condition universal once again getting to know him.
