An interesting part in this second passage of the book is comparing both Rodoplhe and Leon. Leon, when he feels that Emma was into something, he leaves to Paris. Contrary to him, Rodolphe is quite a more experient person in terms of lover, and seduces Emma in a more convincing way. He seduces her until she cannot resist anymore. However, towards the end of this reading, Rodolphe already starts to get bored with Emma, because of all her romanticism.
Another interesting part is that Charles contributes to this case of Rodolphe and Emma. Preoccupied with Emma's physical state, he is the one who asks Rodolphe to arrange a horse ride, eventhough Emma rejects it. Charles doesn't notice that he is helping both Rodolphe and Emma towards being lovers. This also shows how naive Charles is, and why Emma gets so bored in her relationship.
