Analytical Reading Response to Flaubert’s “A Simple Heart” (1877)
1. Gustave Flaubert is one of the leaders of the Realist movement that highlights the lives of ordinary people, and his short story “A Simple Heart” centers on a servant, named Felicite. How would you describe Felicite as an individual? Does she have a strong moral sense? (any textual evidence?) What do Victor and Loulou mean to Felicite? Why is she attached to the parrot and what does Loulou symbolize in her life? Why do you think Flaubert depicts Felicite as a person who is illiterate and lacks religious education? Is Flaubert being real about what it means to be religious? How would compare Felicite’s life with Monsieur Bourais’s? Bourais once laughed at Felicite, thinking “a simplicity like hers was a positive joy” (446). What does he mean by her simplicity? Does Flaubert mock Felicite’s simple-mindedness? What do you make of the title of the story and Felicite’s life? What does Flaubert try to convey through Felicite’s “simple” life? What irony do you find in the story? Although Felicite had an unfortunate childhood and is uneducated, on her deathbed she imagines she receives a blessing from Heaven. Why? Please make sure that your analysis of the short story is logically connected and supported by textual examples (direct quotes with page numbers).

To do that, we use our in-house software, which can find not only copy-pasted fragments, but even paraphrased pieces of text.

Please note that it is possible for a writing company to guarantee an absence of plagiarism against open Internet sources and a number of certain databases, but there is no technology (except for turnitin.com itself) that could guarantee no plagiarism against all sources that are indexed by turnitin.
