Flaubert education5/8/2023 ![]() So after all that pining, he's "suspicious" that she's come to do the one thing he has wanted and been denied for twenty years. ![]() Besides, how embarrassing it would be!-and, abandoning the idea, partly through prudence, and partly through a resolve not to degrade his ideal, he turned on his heel and proceeded to roll a cigarette between his fingers. Another fear, too, had a different effect on him-lest disgust might afterwards take possession of him. And yet he felt, the next moment, an unaccountable repugnance to the thought of such a thing, and, as it were, a dread of incurring the guilt of incest. The fact that she has a head full of white hair doesn't help, but it's not really about that.įrederick had a suspicion that Madame Arnoux had come to offer herself to him, and once more he was seized with a desire to possess her-stronger, fiercer, more desperate than he had ever experienced before. Frederick clearly still has deep feelings for the lady, but he just can't see himself sleeping with her. ![]() Yes, the two romantic leads are reunited, but nothing sexy goes down. ![]() ![]() If you were expecting an it's-finally-happening-they're-making-out-so-much-eroticism explosion between Frederick and the now-widowed Marie Arnoux, prepare to be sorely disappointed. ![]()
