This chapter opens with a soliloquy by Madame Bovary, in which she laments the fact that she is no longer the favorite concubine of Mr. Lorry. She tells him that he has changed his mind and that he hates her. He tells her that he will not let her go, and she swears that she will tell him how she got the job. She then tells him to pick her up, throw her in the lake, and explain to him the cruelty of human nature.
