Emma (novel): Difference between revisions

Emma Woodhouse, who has been spoiled ever since she was a small child, had always had a penchant for ordering the world as she sees fit. So when she meets the [[Good Is Dumb|sweet and pretty but slightly slow]] young Harriet, she decides that she will set up Harriet with a husband worthy of her feminine charms. [[Hilarity Ensues]], with [[Zany Scheme|zany schemes]], terrible misunderstandings, gossip gone awry and, of course, since this is a Jane Austen novel, Emma needing to realize that {{spoiler|her [[First Girl Wins|oldest friend, Mr. Knightley]], is actually the man that she loves. But will she realize it in time, or will she lose him to another woman?}}

 

 

Not to be confused with the manga ''[[Victorian Romance Emma]]''.

* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: Subtly done with Emma. She encourages Harriet in her reading of ''The Romance of the Forest'', a Gothic novel by Ann Radcliffe which stars a girl of obscure origins who is ultimately revealed to be Nobly Born. Emma clearly thinks Harriet belongs in a similar story, when in actuality {{spoiler|Harriet is the bastard of a tradesman, who leaves her quite comfortably off economically but does nothing to raise her social status}}.
