Flaubert, Swift Comparison
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page essay that compares 2 works. Jonathan Swift penned his satirical masterpiece, “A Modest proposal in 1729. Roughly a century later, Gustave Flaubert wrote “A Simple Heart” (also known as “A Simple Soul”). While considerably time separates these two works, examination of the principal theme addressed by both Swift and Flaubert demonstrates that the attitude of the middle and upper class that was directed towards the common people had not appreciably changed over the course of the intervening century. The common theme is the way in which the European upper classes regarded the working class. Both Flaubert and Swift indicate that the upper classes tended to objectify those who labored on their behalf, as working people, the poor, and their servants were viewed as being less than fully human.

Flaubert/Emma Bovary
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page essay that discusses the characterization of Emma Bovary in Gustave Flaubert's novel Madame Bovary. This novel recounts the life and death a beautiful young woman who is frustrated in her unrealistic search for romantic love. Flaubert portrays Emma Bovary as lacking in all the qualities that would have qualified her a true Romantic. She is concerned with appearances rather than inner values; sensual rather than spiritual; emotional but not with the accompany tempering quality of being warm-hearted. In the hands of a less-skilled writer, Emma might have come across as merely supercilious and shallow; however, Flaubert's treatment of her is much more sympathetic as the reader sees her against the backdrop of her era, which suggests that rather putting all the blame directly on Emma for her shortcomings, she is the logical outcome of her culture. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
