Madame Bovary was notorious for her adultery  
and she burned her money on shopping.
For that reason, she ruined herself  
and her husband who worked like a horse as a doctor.
I wonder why she couldn't live as a faithful wife.
She married a rich man, so she was well-off and didn't need to work at all.
In other words, she had unlimited money and spare time.
I have vaguely thought that a woman like Madame Bovary 
would have lived in comfort and been carefree and happy. 

Therefore,  the story of Madame Bovary was a shock to me.
I wondered why she fell so low.
I thought that her adultery and shopping had something to do with her luxurious tastes.
Or her depravity came to her insipid daily life,
while she was looking for something different?
Alain de Botton analyzed Madame Bovary
by showing the character 'Alice' of his book, 'Romantic Movement'. 

Alice was a typical young woman who liked to read fashion magazines and go shopping.
Alice yearned for a life as a fashion model,
just like Madame Bovary had wrong desires, while reading romantic novels.

Afterwards, Alice went shopping with her boyfriend 
and purchased countless, unnecessary goods.
Botton remarked that their behaviors were influenced by fashion magazines and novels.
The ideal features of women presented in those materials tempt them.
Whereas the purpose of magazines is commercial,
women's attempts to find out themselves from the magazine end up pouring money down the drain.
They fooled away not only their money but also their times and lives.
What Botton said about Madame Bovary and Alice was fresh.

Thus far  I couldn't understand women who loved to go shopping,
because I was not interested in clothes.
However, one thing suddenly occurred to me;
I was always envious of title winners in Baduk magazines
and I was not different from women who wanted to be beautiful models.
Although I want to get something different,
the point is that Alice, Madame Bovary and I all wanted to be someone else.
We weren't satisfied with ourselves and wanted to be someone else.
If I am not satisfied with my records and I get greedy, I will be in big trouble.

In the end, Madame Bovary's greed ruined her.
I perceived the truth that
wishing to be other strong Baduk players in the Baduk magazine was silly.
I think that Bovarism means some kind of wrong desires which comes from jealousy.
Watching Alice who made an impulsive consumption only by reading magazines,
I found myself who suffered from unaccountable thirst, while reading Baduk magazines.
Though I have made an attempt to learn good moves by strong players,
I should have tried to find out my own moves before that.
I will definitely get rid of my bovarism and try to play my own Baduk, 
and finally I find my life with no regret.
