@article{oai:ncu.repo.nii.ac.jp:00000236, author = {野田, いおり}, journal = {人間文化研究}, month = {Dec}, note = {This paper tries to discuss Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary by comparison with Mary Elizabeth Braddon's The Doctor's Wife which has been identified as rewriting of Madame Bovary. The Doctor's Wife is a 'sensation' novel and it was first published in 1864 in. England. In Madame Bovary, the theme which fantasy not always being reality is carried throughout the novel. Emma prefered the romantic world to the real world. Since she was a child, she had longed for the romantic life she had dreamed by reading. Like Emma, Braddon's heroine, Isabel Gilbert, is fond of reading books and trapped in a married life with an ordinary provincial doctor who can not understand her hope for an imaginative life. But Braddon's novel is quite different from Flaubert's in terms of adultery. Emma found her life dull and unfulfilling and was constantly trying to change the reality, which eventually lead Emma to commit suicide. But Isabel did not pursuit her happiness in the real world. In spite of the similarity, that is reading romantic novels affects both heroines' romantic characters, adultery and sexuality never provoked Isabel. What, then, makes them so different? In fact, The Doctor's Wife does not have the literary value compared with Flaubert's masterpiece. However, the fact that these similar substructures developed into quite different stories shows the wide range of difference between two country's social background, cultures and author's attitude toward their works.}, pages = {315--330}, title = {『ボヴァリー夫人』をめぐる比較文学的一考察 : 翻案小説『医師の妻』を通して}, volume = {10}, year = {2008} }
