Emile Zola

Gustave Flaubert: A French novelist known for his novel "Madame Bovary," he's also associated with realism. He's like a chef who uses simple ingredients but cooks them to perfection.

Naturalism: As mentioned before, it's an extreme form of realism where everything is depicted in its rawest form. It’s like taking a photo with no makeup on under harsh lighting conditions.

J'accuse: An open letter written by Zola addressing the President of France about the Dreyfus Affair. It's like posting a public call-out post on social media against someone powerful.
