Madame Bovary and The Portrait of a Lady invite discussion and comparison. Each centers on a remarkable heroine who dares to seek independence even at the risk of violating social norms. The plots conform to the pattern of the standard education novel. But both heroines fall short of the “education” and triumph usually achieved in such novels. Emma Bovary dies at the conclusion. Isabel Archer may end up alive and with her hard-won wisdom and moral sense intact, but she ultimately returns to an impossible marriage which makes for the novel’s famously indeterminate conclusion. By probing into the novels’ similarities and differences, we will gain a deepened understanding of the books’ significance as modern classics and a renewed sense of their power to intrigue and move us today as much as they did readers in the nineteenth century.
