Resumo
Emma Bovary e Lily Bart, protagonistas dos romances Madame Bovary (1856), de
Gustave Flaubert, e A Casa da Alegria (1905), de Edith Wharton, inicialmente não
parecem ter muito em comum, além de serem algumas vezes categorizadas juntas
como pertencendo ao movimento literário Realista: Emma é uma esposa pobre e
idealista do campo, enquanto Lily é uma moça cínica e charmosa de uma antiga
família rica na cidade de Nova York. Entretanto, apesar das aparentes diferenças
entre as duas personagens, elas na verdade são muito mais parecidas do que se
imagina. Este estudo busca primeiramente analisar o contexto histórico-social dos
autores e das duas obras através do trabalho dos historiadores e biógrafos Greg King,
Frederick Brown e Anne Green, apontando como as percepções sociais em relação a
figura e psicologia da mulher podem ter influenciado o desenvolvimento das
protagonistas, e então comparar as duas personagens usando três diferentes pontos
de referência, determinando similaridades e divergências entre elas.
