Felicite is a girl that has many self-esteem problem s and it is obvious throughout the story. One thing that you can also feel throughout the story is like her feeling of despair and sadness. Nothing ever goes on right to her, (this also happens a lot with Carters stories, they don’t have what we could call happy endings, many don’t even have endings but the point is they don’t really have a happy mood to them) too many things in her life turn out wrong. One example of this is when she is finally very in love with a man and then she discovers he left her. “He informed her that she would never see her sweetheart again; for, in order to escape the conscription, he had married a rich old woman, Madame Lehoussais, of Toucques.” (A Simple soul)The man leaves for his own benefit and this reminds me of the Selfish Gene because it is just showing the animal behavior we have within. Love is supposed to be a really strong force within, and you are supposed to be easily controlled by those who love you but then again, one can see how survival reigns over love. Genes control your body much more than what feelings do, maybe the man really did love Felicite, but as long as he could escape and get a good, wealthy life, he abandoned her. As any other animal, he is looking for his best possibility so he can reproduce and keep his genes alive.
