what means "Bovarysm" and why choose this name?
Question:
Answers:
Bytheway is essentially correct. The word, Bovarysm, was coined by the now forgotten French philosopher, Jules de Gaultier, who died in 1942.
The term is scarcely heard today, but it was used to describe the torment experienced by the character in Flaubert's novel, Madame Bovary.
Emma Bovary was not able to experience the life she imagined and she could not reconcile her reality with the ideal life she desired so she killed herself.

Other Answers:
It comes from a well known French novel written i think around the late 1800s or early 1900s about a woman called Madame Bovary. The book is called Madame Bovary by Flaubert. She is extremely sentimental and emotional and ends up commiting suicide, if i remember correctly. It is part of Romantic literature. I am not sure what people mean exactly with Bovaryism, but they are definitely refering to her personality i think.
