| more research notes….The Weaknesses of Madame Bovary by Martin Turnell is very important for us becasue Azucena is a succesful Madame Bovary not frustrated and miserable, rather she is full of native blooded vitality and with a ready smile on her face…. Azucena really does live her life as a sentimental production. She is not troubled by premonitions of mortality. The culminating dramatic scene is her interview with arturo in the waiting room of the jail. Her pathetic situation does not even cross either of their minds as they fall in love again before he heads off to another rodeo and then migrates with his brothers to phoenix arizona and she is washing clothes again this time in the patio of chilpancingo womens penitentiary All the degrees of foolishness of romantic love are present in this novel but Azucena is not either a comedy of manners or a tragedy although it is as if it were partaking of each of these Azucena is nothing less than a Madame Bovary who was too humble to criticize anyone, even herself. Azucena is a Madame Bovary who made it, as she surrendered herself to love and never for a minute ever considered that her life was worth more. Descriptions of the Mexican countryside, and of the village, parallel Flaubert’s descriptions of Yonville - However the scenes are colorful and vibrant, since this is Mexico Bonito not foggy Normandy France.Turnell’s contention is that Flaubert sexual problems caused him to betray his thesis by attributing to Emma a truncated approach to intimacy that he himself must have suffered. Azucena does not have sexual problems. Her character is that of “Ms. In-This-Moment” living love to its fullest, in love’s highest peaks and lowest valleys. What happens to her will be shocking to cosmopolitan women but Azucena doesnt anticipate so she doesnt suffer Even though she evidences supersticious and insane behaviour, azucena is natural and sane She follows Love’s footpath, she never betrays love, neither does Azucena regret anything. her native mental health is a contradiction to the disturbed activities she finds herself doing. |

| i am going this week to the united states and perhaps you will not hear from me for a time since i will be staying with cousins and uncles and aunts who clean office buildings and gymnasiums in chicagowe are producing a home-grown Reality-TV-novela about a real-life family in a village who has loved ones in the United States - you know, the idea is to edit it back and forth, its a no-budget production but we are used to that, however a perfect situation is presenting itself because a young man named patricio is getting ready to leave for the bordercrossing near nogales arizona so i am going to chicagohttp://www.artcamp.com.mx/Wetback_Wives/proposal.htm Wetback Widows Reality TV Showif you don’t hear from me please recall the content of my last message regarding the classical structure (beginning, middle, end) of Azucena, also the contrast between Jaripeo and Temple. Remember, Azucena succeeds in imitating art, where Madame Bovary Tierra Salada is a stylistic model for our work with its lovely latin Dont worry about it! Your writing does NOT have to be better than We are only going to do as good as we can, if timeless literature is

| hello i have been reading my worn-out bantam madame bovary - one of the literary critics mentioned the classical structure of this novel (beginning, middle, end). In Azucena, the beginning section is when she falls in love and is in love with Arturo. The middle section takes place in the provincial ciry of Taxco: A university student falls in love with her and she becomes his lover until he proposes matrimony to her. The third section begins when she robs the xalitla baby, the reconciliation with Arturo, and the jail scenesi call your attention to the last paragraph of the essay by Harry Levin, beginning “What, then, is real?” In Azucena, the Jaripeo and the Temple provide the equivalent background interplay. However, it is important to underscore that M. Flaubert’s pessimistic vision is NOT what we are about to produce.The Mexican society is the star of Azucena. She is a protagonist who, when she disappears, goes on as the other women. Azucena has an excess of vitality, it is NOT nervous energy like Madame Bovary. Azucena has so much native vital energy and sprit - she can afford to make her life into a radio song, she redeems her disaster by never having wanted anything but to love, with a fanatical abandonment. |

| Thank you for the continuing flow of information, Maria. I so appreciate learning about your group and welcome this amazing insight into this apparently beautiful region. Really, I don’t know too much about Mexico other than what has been taught in my schools and what I have gleaned from other family members. I have only ever visited Mexico a few times, and only when I was very young.The film projects and body of media work are particulary interesting to me, as I majored in theatre arts in college. For a time, I worked professionally as an actress for several local regional theatres. Now, of course, I write– which suits me better anyhow!Again, thank you for the information. I am enjoying re-reading Madame Bovary. It has been a while.Saludos,

| Yes, there was! I don’t know if her band is still around, but she was very popular here in my part of the state (Houston/ S Texas) during the 1990s. I saw her and Selena in concert at a local fair one year around 1991 or 1992.Good luck in Wisconsin. It’s very cold there this time of year!————– Original message ————– From: “Elance” <pmb@elanceonline.com> |
