She constantly awaited to see these men. In chapter 7, the minute that Leon left for Paris, she became depressed with her life. When Emma began her affair with Rodolphe, she deeply desired to be with Rodolphe every day. Emma was honestly just obnoxiously impatient. Most people, if they were as disgusted with Charles as Emma became to be, would probably be very impatient as well.
Emma not only adapted a steep impatience, but her words and her actions showed that she was extremely bratty. Emma wanted romance immediately. She had an idea of what she wanted her life to look like and she thought she had a certain destination, and this destination went much farther than Charles. Emma wanted what she wanted and she wanted to be happy. It is not Emma's fault that Charles did not make her happy, but she still acquired characteristics of a brat. She started to neglect her wifely duties at home because all she wanted to do was enjoy herself and be with a man that she was having an affair with, which was Rodolphe. Brattiness, to a certain extent, is an aspect of personality that one develops after being fed up to a certain extent though. Still, Emma was a brat when it came to her relationships with these two different men.
The decisions that Emma made were quite harshly affected by these fantasies that clouded her mind, and she came out looking like a fool without even recognizing it. Emma was so dissatisfied with being married to Charles that it literally caused her to come up with nonsensical ideas. Mrs. Bovary proposed to Rodolphe the idea that," 'We would go and live elsewhere-somewhere!'" (Flaubert 306). This was not smart thinking, and Rodolphe even told Emma this. Emma was so eager to escape her current life situation, that she was trying to think of any way to get out of it. Emma definitely had foolish moments throughout the novel, but at the same time, these foolish moments were almost justified.
