Summary

This quote from Madame Bovary emphasizes the idea that true beauty is not solely defined by physical appearance. It suggests that the beauty of a person radiates from within, shaped by their happiness, enthusiasm, and achievements. It implies that one's disposition and outer circumstances merge to create a harmonious and captivating appeal. In essence, beauty is depicted as a combination of an individual's temperament and the positive circumstances they find themselves in, rather than simply a superficial quality.
