Same Style

In the final parts of A Simple Soul we see the continuation of Flaubert’s style, the same style he has used the entire book. In chapter five we see a great example of description of all the things in the scene. “In the middle stood a little frame containing relics; at the corners were two little orange-trees, and all along the edge were silver candlesticks, porcelain vases containing sun-flowers, lilies, peonies, and tufts of hydrangeas”.(Chapter V) As you can see from this part, the author describe everything carefully to give us good picture of what is going on. Besides this, Flaubert talks about the church again in this same paragraph, “The clergy appeared in the yard”. (Chapter V) This shows how he continues the same style throughout the whole book.
