When Dreams Become Poison
What happens when the stories we tell ourselves about life become more real than life itself? Emma Bovary spent her youth hidden behind convent pillars, devouring contraband romances about tragic queens and passionate heroines. She memorized every moonlit balcony, every Venetian gondolier, every exotic landscape from illustrated magazines. By fifteen, she had constructed an entire architecture of longing-a blueprint for a life that could never exist in the muddy Norman countryside where she would spend her days. When Gustave Flaubert published her story in 1857, he was prosecuted for offending public morality. The scandal only confirmed what readers instinctively understood: this wasn't just a tale of adultery. It was a mirror held up to our most dangerous illusions, showing how the gap between fantasy and reality can swallow a person whole.
