A Simple Heart

Written in 1877, a simple heart by Gustave Flaubert’s depicts the realism of a normal person.  The author gives an account about a person’s life almost as if it was his personal study of his life. It is important to note that A Simple Heart is outstanding from other works of this century. In his narration, he uses straightforward themes. This is because he aims at talking about an individual’s life rather than one of the specific parts used to embellish a darker side. The work is thus about an apparently meaningful life illustrated in the characterization of Felicite’s life. Gustave therefore works hard at illustrating the character’s life as meaningful.

However, her life is unexciting. It is a representation the untainted humanity environment where man usually struggles to survive. The author’s writing is that of a normal and miserable life of Felicite. His writing pursues the character’s series of hardship.from the onset of the narration, she survived through a miserable childhood but afterward found a job. She focuses so much on her children who within a short time leave the house. Later her nephew passed on and this added to her misfortunes. What is to be saluted about Gustave’s writing is his capacity to describe the narration in a realistic manner.

This narration is thus an example of a sensible account that holds tight to realism. As a result, the sensible retelling of the story allows it to transcend on various main themes such as, middle class satire and a saint’s legacy through giving birth to a new-fangled manner of visualizing and contemplating on life. This, therefore, allows for a new attitude about life.
