Word count = 1,435 Color Symbolism in Madame Bovary In his novel Madame Bovary, Gustave Flaubert uses explicit use of detail and imagery to unfold the story of a 19th century middle-class woman, Emma Bovary. As the novel progresses, Emma becomes the wife of the doctor Charles Bovary and begins become less satisfied with her empty provincial reality. The growing desire of a fairytale-like life sequentially is what leads her to acquire great debts, adulterous affairs and eventually causes her greatest downfall; suicide. Flaubert’s novel is widely considered a masterpiece largely because of his use of narrative description. One of the many techniques Flaubert uses is color symbolism, which he uses colors to make crucial connections between characters in order to juxtapose them and emphasize certain attributes that take part in Emma’s life as well as a framework when setting up the mood and tone throughout the novel.
Explore the ways poets present their feelings about relationships Both of these poems (Remembrance and 04/01/07) are both about death and loss in relationship, in 04/01/07 the loss is a mans mother and in Remembrance the loss is about a women’s lover who has died quite a long time ago whereas in 04/01/07 the man has just received a phone call from his brother informing him of his mother’s death therefore for the brothers just finding must then mean that the death has happened very recently compared to Remembrance because your first and automatic emotions towards a death are different to the ones after it sinks in for a while. For example one of the first emotions you will feel when you know of a death of someone near to you would be something like shock or a sudden rush of sadness but as time goes on the feelings change more over to the side of grieving and just missing the person in general. Firstly Ian McMillian presents his feelings from the get go of a very strong and emotionally tight relationship with his mother, we can clearly see this because as soon as he hears the bad news from his brother it immediately affects him and also quite strongly. “And I feel the tears slap my torn face.” This shows that he was very fond of his mother hence this sudden and strong reaction to the news of her death you would expect this from her son but this would not happen in all cases in which maybe the mother and son did not get on, he would still be sad that his mother had died but he may not of necessarily cried. In Remembrance however the way this poet (Emily Brontë) presented her feelings about relationships slightly differently due partly to the story told in her poem and the way that it’s written portrays different feelings.
Virginia suffered from tuberculosis and died in 1847, two years prior to the writing of Poe’s poem; her death caused Poe to enter a deep depression. Just as John Cowper Powys comments in Marie Rose Napierkowsk’s book, Poetry for Students, “Poe expresses ‘a certain dark, willful melancholy,’ a cold mood that Poe ‘must surely himself have known.’ Powys's suggestion may spring from Poe's experience with loss, and in particular the death of his child bride, Virginia Clemm” (Powys as qtd Napierkowski 19). In the poem the narrator mentions, “she was a child” and “-my life and my bride,” which refers to Virginia as “his child bride,” since Poe married her when she was thirteen years old. (Poe 7-39). As Powys describes it, the mood of Poe’s poem is lamenting the death of his wife, Virginia.
