Jane Austen's beloved novel, Emma, centers on the intelligent, wealthy, and somewhat self-satisfied Emma Woodhouse, who prides herself on her matchmaking abilities. Convinced she knows best, Emma meddles in the romantic affairs of her friends and acquaintances, often with disastrous and humorous results. As she attempts to orchestrate the lives of others, Emma remains oblivious to her own true feelings and the affections of her close friend, Mr. Knightley. The novel masterfully explores themes of self-deception, social class, marriage, and the journey of self-discovery, set against the charming backdrop of Highbury in Regency England. It is a witty and insightful social commentary.
