Emma by Jane Austen
Well the plot thickens, it seems Emma might be a little jealous of Jane Fairfax. If someone even hints at the "absurd" idea that Mr. Knightley has affections for Jane, Emma will explode in a hundred words per minute, opposing it. Like a teenage drama, could Emma have a crush on Mr. Knightley? Now that I mention it the whole book is like a teenage drama of who likes who. And Emma, who promised herself not to marry and stay with her father, is finding it hard to decode her own feelings. Emma, the love expert, isn't sure if she likes Frank Chruchill or of his affections. Honestly it isn't that suprising, she really hasn't had any experience which leads back to the question why is she guiding Harriet in her's? Probably anyone can predict the sticky mess going to unfold.

Emma-Halfway
The very long Jane Austen book, Emma, has been read for many years. I am one of the people who find it boring sometimes. All Emma does is go to parties and have company over. I guess Emma really cannot do anything else though, because that is all women did in that time period. But I do love the characters Jane Austen creates. Such as Harriet Smith is so easily persuaded by Emma, or Mr. Knightley, the only one who notices all of Emma's flaws. I noticed that one of Emma's big flaws is that she is so stubborn. She still does not want to believe that Mr. Martin was perfect for plain Harriet. Emma keeps on giving Harriet many great traits which she does not have, making her more like Jane Fairfax, very accomplished and pretty. I definitely think Emma's meddling with other people's social lives should end before some people get their hearts broken...again.
