In The House of the Spirits, the characters all share a spectral bond, which leads to emotional and spiritual connections for Clara during the death of the characters. On the contrary, in Madame Bovary, Emma Bovary depicts a realistic and natural character in society which portrays her selfishness, lack of emotions, and overall detachment towards the death of the others. Both of these connections are demonstrated through Realism and Magical Realism.The author stylistically ascribes negative personality traits prior to the death of a character. These negative characteristics portray the character as corrupt. In the text, Homais furiously mentions, YouJustin are on a d ownward path(Flaubert 231).

In the text, the blind beggar is singing a outcry, although the song implies traits of Emma. Emma always desires and dreams of love which provides the purpose for the song and demonstrates her not being satisfied with the love Charles provides for her. Additionally, Flaubert mentions, Charles was suffocating like a youth beneath the vague love influences that filled his aching heart, (321) which implies that he still loves Emma dearly. Th... ...onnected due to the fact that I slept badly and dreamt again of Rosa (Allende 203). The diction of again in the text proves that thought process of Rosa occurs multiple times and that her spirit is connect ed with him. Additionally, Barrabas reappears multiple times, for example It was the last, ignominious vestige of faithful Barrabas (Allende 269). Although Barrabas died many centuries ago, he is encountered with Blanca and Alba. He displays the most spiritual reconnection with the characters through detail more than any of the other characters throughout the novel.Allendes House of the Spirits demonstrate emotional connections and remembrances amongst Clara and the characters through the application of Magical Realism which contrasts to Flauberts Madame Bovary which demonstrates Emmas characterization and lack of emotion towards the death of the characters.
