When the Bovarys get into financial problems, Lheureux knows that he can capitalize here. He has that same kniving attitude that Felix Grandet did in Eugenie Grandet.

Although Lheureux wasn't really characterized as a miser, they definitely shared the same love for money, which made them both villains in their respected novels, because their attitudes changed.
