In many ways, The Ladies’ Paradise is a story about how war changes people—especially those who aren’t directly involved in it. In the midst of all this change, however, there are those who hold on to their dignity and continue to fight for what is right despite everything else going on around them. It’s an inspiring read that will leave you feeling hopeful about humanity’s ability to overcome even seemingly insurmountable obstacles through perseverance and determination.
The Ladies’ Paradise is a tragic story of four women in the early 1900s. It tells the story of Nana, a poor seamstress who dreams of becoming an artist; her friend, Gervaise, who works as a prostitute to support her family; Jeanne Deroin, a famous artist who has recently lost her husband and son; and Madame Bovary, a middle-aged woman who lives with her husband and two daughters.
As the novel progresses, we learn that each woman has a different set of motivations for her actions. For example, while Nana wants to be an artist and make money from selling her paintings, Gervaise wants to become wealthy so that she can buy clothes for herself and her children. Madame Bovary is driven by both love and money—for example, she will do anything to get the man she loves back into her life so that she can have him provide for them financially.
Themes include how people are shaped by their environment and how difficult it is to escape those environments once they’ve been trapped there for so long.
