The issue of the confrontation of man with another human beings has led to the design of the "other" theory as "existential", which ultimately leads to a moral affair. In line with these ethical changes, Emmanuel Levinas poses the reality of the Other and considers his presence in our lives, our identity and our feelings inescapable. This research analyzes the emotional relationships between the characters of two novels :"Madame Bovary"of Gustav Flaubert and "Two Landscapes" by Ghazaleh Alizadeh based on Levinas philosophical opinions. Let's begin by analyzing Levinas's philosophical and theoretical foundations of the "other" question.

We get In sum, the main focus of this research is to describe how the characters of these two novels encounter each other in their own situation with the "other".
