A Simple Soul by Gustave Flaubert is a classic short story which had earlier appeared in a collection of short stories by the author.
A Simple Soul revolves around the major character Madame Aubain's servant Felicite. In the opening of the story readers are introduced to Madame Aubain who had married a young man who did not have much money.
The other housewives of Pont I'Eveque envied Madame Aubain who had a servant named Felicite. The servant performed all the household chores for the mistress. The story very beautifully reveals the contemporary French society and the relations between the neighbours and relatives. It is definitely the story which has the picturesque quality.
