Flaubert is famously quoted as saying, "Je suis Madame Bovary!" I find myself saying that too. At least, so far. I often find myself relating to characters whether they be in books or films. That's my way of getting through them. I put myself in their shoes I try to think like they think.
When I first started reading Madame Bovary I didn't like it and I didn't like Emma but we do have one major similarity. Emma and I are both dreamers, romantics.. we are both naive. She reads romance novels and logs for something like that. I'm not so different.
I am familiar with this story and I know what Emma is going to do. While I don't agree with her actions I can still sympathize, for we are, in a way, kindred spirits.
Is there a character in a movie that you feel you have a lot in common with?
