About Madame Bovary
Madame Bovary is one of my favorite books. I read about it for first time when I was twelve years old in a magazine that my mother used to buy. Madame Bovary got my attention because it is a novel about a young woman named Emma who is married with a good, kind but detached man called Charles… Charles Bovary.
Emma grew up reading loads of books and that’s why she had high expectations about love life. Even though, when she got married with Charles she found out her husband was a bored man and all her expectations about love came tumbling down.
In spite of he loved her so much she just didn’t feel the same way. I don’t remember why… maybe due to she wanted to live a passional, adventurous and intriguing love life, something absolutely different to her real relationship.
In that book I could see the transformation of Emma who began being an innocent, hopeful and dreamer young lady and ended as a shameless woman for her time.

About Madame Bovary

Madame Bovary got my attention because it is a novel about a young woman named Emma who is married with to a good, kind, but detached man called Charles, Charles Bovary.
Emma grew up reading loads lots of books and that’s why she had high expectations about love life. (or "... high expectations for love".)
I'm not exactly sure what you mean here because the term "love life" has sexual connotations, which might be what you mean? High expectations for love means she expected to have a very romantic, loving relationship. High expectations for her love life means that she wanted to have a sexually fulfilling life. Best not to get them mixed up!
As its Madam Bovery it could be either.
In spite of he loved her so much how much he loved her she just didn’t feel the same way. I don’t remember why. Maybe due to because she wanted to live a passionate, adventurous and intriguing love life (I think the usage is correct here), something absolutely different to her real actual relationship.
In that the book I could see the transformation of Emma, who began being as an innocent, hopeful and dreamer of a young lady and ended up as appearing like a shameless woman for her time.
Really well written, good job.
The main thing I noticed is the ellipses (...). These are a very rarely used form of punctuation. Normally they are only used to avoid including part of a quoted section. To use your last sentence as an example: "Emma ... ended as a shameless woman for her time". Or they are used by authors to denote an elongated pause in speaking by a character, e.g.:
"I... Ummm... Er... I'm not sure" he said, struggling to put a sentence together.
They are very rarely used for anything else.

Madame Bovary is one of my favorite books. I read about* it for first time when I was twelve years old (when it was serialised?*) in a magazine that my mother used to buy. Madame Bovary got my attention because it is a novel about a young woman named Emma who is married to a good, kind but detached man called Charles… Charles Bovary.
Emma grew up reading lots of books and that’s why she had high expectations about love. Even so, when she married Charles, she found out that her husband was a bore and all her expectations about love came tumbling down.
Although he loved her so much she just didn’t feel the same way. I don’t remember why… maybe because she wanted to have a passionate, adventurous and intriguing love life, something absolutely different to her real relationship.

Madame Bovary might be called one of the great novels, I think, and certainly one that expanded the range of what novels might cover.
Does the heroine's desperate dilemma, security or adventure, love or loyalty, in any way mirror the author's situation? He was working as a lawyer when he wrote it. So he was probably financially secure, and with a "good position". Yet his yearning, his dream was to be a writer ...
