There is a close connection between the political factors and the economical factors。 They two are interacted on each other。 With the rising of bourgeoisie, the industry and commerce at that time developed rapidly。 The life of the bourgeoisie was extravagant which stood in sharp contrast to that of Madame Bovary’s causing her strong passion of extravagance and the formation of her vanity to a certain degree。 

     Fen Yunju pointed out that it was the corrupted relationship with money that resulted in Bovary’s death。 She said that this novel was written in the period from 1830s to 1850s。 During that period, the economy was so-called blooming, but actually it was just for the rich not for the poor。 The common civil still led a misery life。 In that society, money represented everything: power, right, love, marriage, and even sensual pleasures。（Fen Yunju: 66-68）

And the researchers studied the cultural factors from the cultural background。 The time Gustave Flaubert wrote the novel was just the transitional period of romanticism to realism。 Madame Bovary received the education about the negative romanticism in the convent for which she was eager for the romantic love。 Shen Chenyu said this story took place in the period which was a time after French Revolution。 At that time, there were no heroes appearing or existent on the stage of history with all splendid legends becoming the water under the bridge; bourgeois vulgarity which was regarded as “vulgar romanticism” had took the place of the true romanticism, only boredom and wickedness lasted。 It was a time that the society was dominated by vile characters, kindness or innocence would be your weakness and result in failure in real life, for hypocrisy and deceit had become the rules of the world。(Shen Chenyu: 255)

 So, it’s not that hard to explain the characters’ destinies。 It’s not that hard to explain the tragic fate of Madame Bovary。

      What’s more, Lu Yuna held that the book pictured the poisonous effect on Bovary by the negative romantic literature, popular in religious education and society。 She pointed out that Bovary was deeply influenced by the religious sermon and music, romantic stories which had penetrated into her fantastic heart so much so that her suppressed feelings erupted violently when she was indulged in the fantasy of love。 During her staying in abbey, she read popularized negative romantic literature works which corrupted her mind step by step。 Yearning for a romantic and excellent love, Bovary married with Charles。 However, Charles’ mean capability brought no bright prospects to Emma’s yearning for romantic love。 Emma began her social education at Duke’s family ball, where she had an opportunity to get contact with many so-called upper-class people seeking pleasures often; sinking in the atmosphere of degeneration, Emma could not stand her dull and monotonous daily life and was tortured by the eagerness for luxurious life strongly。 (2012:135-136) In such a condition, Bovary couldn’t step out of the gulf of sin gradually。来,自,优.尔:论;文*网www.youerw.com +QQ752018766-

     All of the factors are interacted on each other。 In such an era which was dominated by bourgeoisie with the prevalence of vanity and the fading of kindness, and when the principle that men enjoyed higher status than women prevailed, the tragic fate of Madame Bovary was inevitable。 She was struggling at that age。 She stepped into the gulf more and more deeply with no one to save her but dragged her further and deeper, with no salvation but to die。 She was the mirror of the same women at that age。 The scholars both at home and abroad would like to analyze the roots respectively。 My paper analyzes Bovary’s death from the cultural perspective。 Though there are many papers about the cultural factors。 The apparent difference from others is that I think that the vulgar culture including the vulgar romanticism and the vulgar opinions in people’s mind ( male’s superior status to woman and money as everything) is the true root of Madame Bovary’s death。
