rodolphe bailing out on emma when they were supposed to run away together then sends a letter instead of seeing her in person and has the nerve to fake a tear by adding a droplet of water to the letter is crazy no wonder emma became depressed afterwards and her illness becoming worse anyways i have a feeling leon and emma rekindle after that encounter 👀👀

“emma sitting opposite him was watching him; she did not share his humiliation, she had her own to endure; that she had ever thought such a man could be worth anything, as if she had not already sufficiently observed his mediocrity at least twenty times” 😭😭 hilarious how emma considered giving charles a chance when there was a possibility of more money but then he fucked it up as men always do

the audacity of rodolphe to lead emma on literally pursuing her first then saying her visits were becoming reckless and that she was compromising herself by risking her marriage and reputation… fear men

emma wanting charles to beat her so she could justify hating him and taking revenge by having an affair with leon who she’s in love with.. i’m loving the amount of unhingedness i just know she would have loved lana del rey

emma being the og i hate my boyfriend final boss and honestly who can blame her? men are stupid no wonder she felt like hitting him
