This work presents Wolfgang Iser’s theories about the act of reading and it relates them to Flaubert’s novel Madame Bovary. The goal is showing that both the reading of reality and the reading of the fiction involve the personal experiences, that interfer in the acts of imagination of each character. For that, it presents the excerts of the novel Madame Bovary in what the theme of reading is discussed. The conclusion was that, indeed, the characters of the French classic novel read the fictions and the reality according to their experiences, and the experiences can have been acquired by of something they have lived or of something they have read.
