Document Summary
Each new culture in our society, thinks they are better than the culture that preceded it. Realism builds on our sense of the value of the senses. There is a difference between what we de ne as real and the reality contained within a book. What we de ne as real sometimes means what we de ne as important. Cervante"s don quixote was the rst character to do so, emma bovary is considered to be the female version of him because of how she misreads the books she grew up with. Short story by woody allen about madame bovary. Emma bovary has a middle class background; single parent family. Emma remains frustrated and takes comfort in one thing-shopping. Emma has affairs and charles remains oblivious to her affairs and her. The poison she takes basically is the poison of her culture. We have to look at our cultural assumptions which lead to archetypes.
