Final

Emma, who always had her love stories in her mind, and was always iluded to it, now only takes her down. All of her affairs stop loving her because of this persistent need of having a love like these one in the books. They usually start having a strong passion, but as time passes all of her lovers get annoyed with her romantic idealism.

Flaubert introduces some characters in the end of the book to show that Emma's place is really bourgeios middle class. Always seeking to have a higher class standard Emma was never able to acquire this. Always wanting to attend parties, and being materialistic, Emma was not able to achieve this class. Flaubert introduces in the end of the novel characters what will be either poor peasants or very wealthy. The first character is the nurse that Emma looks for when she is desperate. She was a very simple person who was not able to have a watch in her home and knew the time by holding her fingers. The high class character introduced in the end is Guillaumin, a lawyer. When she arrives to his home asking for help, she sees his mansion, and the good furniture he had. Flaubert did this to prove that her soical status was bourgeios middle class, and any other. Flaubert also introduces a beggar that Emma passed all the time when she was heading to the other town to stay with Leon. He was very simple, and this foreshadows the condition that Emma will end in the final part of the novel.

Emma's financial situation was side by side with her moral standards. As Emma is convinced to borrow money all the time and is always in debt, she has to sell herself more and more. As she gets more in debt, she sells herself more trying to raise money. Charles one the other side, continues to be naive and gives her money for the piano classes and for her to travel. He doesn't suspect anything. Emma brings someone to her house saying that he was her piano teacher, but he doesn't know her name. Charles will only be aware that his wife cheated on him in the end when he opens her drawer and reads all of her notes to lovers. But Charles still loves her after all she did and all her infidelities.
