The moral judgments in Madame Bovary ignore every principle except that of the artist who violates and dwells on every human action. Some people revel in the way Madame Bovary depicts love, taking it for a sound criticism of romantic rubbish, put forward by a robust conscience, and they do not see that this robust conscience is nothing more than a close scrutiny and a showy parade of sordid human emotions. How could one live on the lines of Madame Bovary? In one way only: by aping the artist shut up indoors.
Be careful not to take seriously Flaubert's reviews of reality. They are based on no other principle but this: all is filth, except the conscientious artist.
