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.

Excellent analysis of character. You painted a vivid picture of Emma. Also your comparison to a teenage drama is interestinga and accurate. It's not too far off from today's teen dramas is it? Seems like themes don't change, just places and times....also, you say anyone can predict? But can they? What do you predict will happen?
