"Мадам Бовари" я не читала (хотя сюжет, конечно, знаю), зато читала Margaret Atwood, а у нее есть целый пассаж про раздражающих глупых героинь, плывущих по течению (иногда в буквальном смысле), а если дергающихся, то как-то бестолково, -- вернее, целый рассказ, называется MY LAST DUCHESS:
...Tess was evidently another of those unlucky pushovers, like the Last Duchess, and like Ophelia - we'd studied Hamlet earlier. These girls were all similar. They were too trusting, they found themselves in the hands of the wrong men, they weren't up to things, they let themselves drift. They smiled too much. They were too eager to please. Then they got bumped off, one way or another. Nobody gave them any help.
Why did we have to study these hapless, annoying, dumbbunny girls? I wondered. Who chose the books and poems that would be on the curriculum? What use would they be in our future lives? What exactly were we supposed to be learning from them?
Собственно, стихотворение про прошлую герцогиню :
( Robert Browning, My Last Duchess )
