- Marriage to the reliable but unexciting Charles, a provincial doctor, has left Emma feeling unfulfilled and leads her to look elsewhere for satisfaction. She embarks on a series of affairs and, since this glamorous lifestyle demands more money than Charles can provide, she runs up enormous debts with a devious local tradesman, Lheureux.
