Madame Bovary can be seen as a struggle of a romantic idealist with realism. Emma's attempts to spark love in her relationship with Charles by reading poetry together, etc. demonstrate that Emma Bovary is a romantic idealist. However, her efforts fail to produce any passion by Emma for Charles; the reality of her marriage with Charles is that it is passionless. Emma cannot accept her reality, and instead, chooses to strive for her romantic ideals as illustrated through her affairs with Rodolphe and Leon.
