pages read until chapter 4 of part 3-sandra

The part I read this time was pretty big so a lot of things happened, giving many things to comment on. For starters, Emma finally has her affair. After an enormous build up, she finally caves in to the temptations of adultery. I was disappointed with her choice in men; I would've rather read about her with Leon then Rodolphe for the mere fact that he was sincerely in love with Emma. The only reason Emma wants to do these immoral things is because she is so desperate; desperate for true love and passion and everything else she read about in novels. She isn't just bored of her husband; she has strong desires for more in her life then the mediocrity that includes her husband who she sees as an obstacle in the way to happiness. I wanted her dreams realised and think Leon would have actually been able to give her all the things she wanted. Rodolphe just uses her but because of her desperation, Emma doesn't realise how insincere he is. She is blinded with illusions of passion and desire and clings on to this tiny opportunity of getting her dreams and thus fails to see how it really is only an illusion. Emma might be considered naive for not being able to see what is really going on but I just feel bad for her. She puts so many "eggs" in Rodolpho's basket just because she is so extremely dissatisfied with what she has, which is a proper husband and daughter. And because of this attachment to her illusion, Rodolpho starts to find her annoying and doesn't want to be with her anymore, causing her to completely fall apart and consider suicide.
Then something changed for me. When she leaves for Paris to deal with her debts together with Leon and has an affair with him too, my sympathy for her just disappeared. The fact that she cheats on her husband again after she should have realized that affairs do not lead to anything from her previous disappointment is just immoral. It went too far for me.
I noticed that Emma's affair and financial status are in the same situation. The more present the affair, and immorality of this affair is, the more she buys, the more debts are created. Also when she has to solve her debts, she ends up having another affair with Leon.
