Question:
Gustav Flaubert
These questions are emphasized:
In "A Simple Heart" by Gustav Flaubert
"A Simple Heart" in some ways is about dissatisfaction with society and its pressures. The country is a place of retreat, of failure and pettiness. A fascinating world beckons the youth in Flaubert's story just as it does the youth of today. Victor joins a ship and goes to Cuba to find excitement and adventure. Felicite has not such desire to escape the life she leads, and great historical events pass without thought or concern for her. Is this what constitutes her "simplicity"?
