Flaubert en Madame Bovary, un acercamiento antropológico al autor en su obra

Abstract

There is an anthropological proposition that suggests the author of a creative work, as a human being, usually appears in his composition, whether consciously or unconsciously. In Madame Bovary, Gustave Flaubert’s classic tale, the author and his family not only appear in the narrative, but also are the central characters of the novel, even though the author denied it at the time. This is precisely what the present study attempts to demonstrate, from an anthropological perspective, through observation, analysis and reflection based on the novel and on the many letters written by Flaubert to friends and associates. The study also attempts to give Flaubert his due, considering what has been attributed to him without reason and contrary to his way of thinking and his human qualities.
