The statue of Madame Bovary is finished, but the name of her statue will not be carved on it. The statue will be inscribed with the name "Sungguang" , which means that the statue is a curse on the person who is supposed to be the statue's owner. The narrator tells us that this is because the statue was built in such a way that the person's name will automatically be inscribed on the statue after the statue has been made. The name of the statue will also be inscribed after the person is proposed to. The two men discuss their love for each other, and they decide to propose to each other.
