A Heart Without Love Is a Heart Without a Voice

I spent a semester not too long ago analyzing Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary. The imagery he provides throughout his narrative is haunting. This one stays with me:

“At the bottom of her heart, however, she was waiting for something to happen. Like shipwrecked sailors, she turned despairing eyes upon the solitude of her life, seeking afar off some white sail in the mists of the horizon. She did not know what this chance would be, what wind would bring it her, towards what shore it would drive her, if it would be a shallop or a three-decker, laden with anguish or full of bliss to the portholes. But each morning, as she awoke, she hoped it would come that day; she listened to every sound, sprang up with a start, wondered that it did not come; then at sunset, always more saddened, she longed for the morrow.”


I have been looking forward to seeing the newest big screen adaption of this timeless story.

The trailer for the upcoming film “Madame Bovary” has been released! The adaptation of 1856 novel of the same name by Gustave Flaubert is set to open later this year. Mia Wasikowska plays the titular character Emma Bovary, who becomes bored with her life and marriage after seeing what high society has to offer. After publishing the novel, Flaubert was put on trial for the novels obscenity. Luckily, he was acquitted and the novel became a bestseller. What do you think of this film adaptation? Will you see it? 
The movie also stars Ezra Miller (Leon Dupuis) and Paul Giamatti (Monsieur Homais).
