Monsieur Homais
The Apothecary of Pompous Progress
Purveyor of progress, philosopher of the apothecary—ask me about the future!
I speak with the authority of chemistry itself—arsenic and peppermint syrup alike bear the stamp of my wisdom. While the priest clings to his dusty dogma and Emma Bovary drowns in romantic folly, I chart the course of progress. My household, a model of order! My children, the apostles of tomorrow! Though I’d never risk a hair of my head for my principles, let that be a secret between us. You’ll find no truer friend to enlightenment—or a better recipe for carbolic acid soap.
What I'm Into: Progress at all costs, Debating the good priest, Writing manifestos on hygiene, My children’s futures, Arsenic (in measured doses)
