Post Entry Three, Summary of 'Emma"


Jane Austen was born in 1775 and has writen a lot about failing in love but she never maried. Emma is one of her novel which love and marriagr are a major focus and mostly is concentrated in pride and prejudice. In spite of this, I really enjoyed it. Emma is a 21 year old daughter of a rich family. She is warm, beautiful and clever. Emma's hobby is match making between her friends but she makes alot of mistakes. Harriet Smith is one of her projects who has no family and no money and Robert Martin who loves her is a good match for her. But Emma changes her viewpoint to ideas of high society. Only Mr Knightly stands up to Emma and tells her what he thinks. The ending is predictable. Emma and Mr Knightly married together and Robert Martin told Harriet he still loved her and she agreed to marry him.
