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.
