In this chapter, we are introduced to a number of new characters, each of whom has something to say about the events of the previous chapter. For example, in the first scene of the novel, we learn that Madame Bovary was the first woman in the world to be executed for witchcraft. In the second scene, we find out that Bovary's first wife, Madame Mo-jie, was executed for her role in the murder of the first lady. In this scene, the first female murderer is revealed, and she is brought before Madame Mo jie, who is shocked and horrified by her husband's actions. She is also horrified by the fact that she is being executed by a man who has no intention of killing her. The second female murderer, Madame Gamut, is also brought before the audience, but she is not allowed to speak because she is pregnant.
