Emma is the daughter of a simple farmer. She marries Dr. Charles Bovary, a equally simple doctor. Emma becomes disillusioned with marriage, and terrible bored. In truth, she craves the passion and romance she has read about in books.
Madame Bovary embarks on an affair with Leon, a law clerk. After he leaves her, Rodolphe is next. She steadily loses control, taking risks, borrowing more and more money. The hapless doctor is oblivious. Rodolphe's desertion precipitates her downfall.
