Flaubert's Trois Contes have long been a literary enigma before which critics have stumbled. Unlike the major novels of Flaubert, these Contes offer a more optimistic view of the world. Though each story unfolds differently, the heroes find similar salvations through metamorphosis. In some instances this has been refered to as sanctity, while in other cases, it was not deemed a powerful enough motif to link Trois Contes together. / The study at hand will strive to show, by analysing the development of their personality, how each character self-realizes and finds salvation. As we progress through the three texts, it will become apparent that a sequence was intended for the reader to follow, and that the order in which the texts were published is capital.
