Bahoora Flaubert’s Travels in Egypt Although the Orient had a lot to offer‚ Flaubert seemed to only recognize one major theme‚ sex. Europe was not nearly as grotesque as Flaubert suggests about the orient‚ but Egypt definitely had a lot more to offer. As we read Flaubert’ writings to himself‚ family and friends‚ sex is always incorporated in one-way or another. As written in Orientalism‚ by Edward Said‚ Flaubert says‚ “Just as the various colonial possessions—quite apart from their economic benefit

Goethe and Flaubert explores the notion that language is an imperfect communication medium and lacks the ability to help one fully express themselves whole heartedly and truthfully. The characters ideas and emotions are reflected in the authors writing style

Et à vrai dire‚ ils ont même manifesté une prédilection à s’inspirer de sujets‚ à dépeindre des personnages et des cadres empruntés à la réalité vulgaire.

Needless to say‚ in the narrative’s discourse such traits become inseparable from Homais’s character sooner rather than later‚ and the question becomes—why was Flaubert inclined in pursuing this redundant peculiarity?
