Emma's three lovers were similar in that they all were searching for an unobtainable love. Rodolphe and Leon are both never satisfied with their place in life. They differ in that Charles truly loves Emma while she is just another conquest or trophy for Rodolphe. I think Leon is the perfect match for Emma since he puts on a front to be the man he thinks Emma wants. Like Emma, they both wish to live the ideal romantic life and escape the realities that accompany peasant life.
