Title Fortuitous conjunctions: A comparative study of Flaubert's Madame Bovary and poem of Wallace Stevens
Date 1993-03
Year graduated 1993
Description A comparative study of Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary and poem of Wallace Stevens. The three sections of this study focus roughly on three aspects of Emma's existence: the first on her profound ennui, the second on her active exercise of imagination, and the final on the events surrounding her death. In all three, I have focused on different dimensions of Stevens' work. But much of the beauty of the poems is found in the fact that, in so many ways, they unite in an integrated poetic world. To use Steven's term, they live in the same mundo. Emma Bovary provides a beautiful analogue for this phenomenon; the different aspects of her life unite in one character whose "wholeness" the reader intuitively feels.
