Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Sentimental Education is a novel by Gustave Flaubert first published in 1869. It is considered one of the most important novels in 19th century French literature.The story is that of Frederic Moreau, a young man whose perception of life is heavily influenced by Romantic cliches. While moving to Paris from his native Normandy, he becomes lovestruck with Marie Arnoux, an older married woman. Throughout the following years, even as he obsesses about his (platonic) relationship with her, his life founders in a routine of mediocrity.

Best Years of Your Life: The finale and the novel's famous last lines is a poignant reflection of this. Gustave Moreau and Deslauriers, the two main characters look back on their years of friendship and youthful hijinks and finally remember an early misadventure where they gatecrashed a brothel, early in their youth before going to Paris:

Anti-Hero: Frederic is self-deluded, ineffectual, and generally a loser.
