Emma - Jane Austen

. .

Résumé :
Emma was composed between January 1814 and March 1815, and distributed in 1815. The title character, Emma Woodhouse, is sovereign of her little local area. She is wonderful and affluent. She has no mother; her particular, delicate dad forces no checks on either her way of behaving or her smugness. Every other person in the town is respectfully lower in friendly standing. Just Mr. Knightley, an old family companion, at any point proposes she wants improvement. Emma has a preference for matchmaking. At the point when she meets pretty Harriet Smith, the normal little girl of someone, Emma takes her up as both a companion and a reason. Under Emma's bearing, Harriet denies a proposition from a nearby rancher, Robert Martin, so Emma can design one from Mr. Elton, the vicar. Unfortunately, Mr. Elton misjudges the interests and accepts Emma is keen on him for herself. He can't be brought down to think about Harriet Smith. Things are additionally shaken by the re-visitation of the town by Jane Fairfax, niece to the talkative Miss Bates; and by a visit from Frank Churchill, stepson of Emma's ex-tutor. He and Jane are subtly drawn in, however as nobody knows this, it no affects the matchmaking free for all. The couples are ultimately figured out, if not as per Emma's arrangement, essentially agreeable to her. Uninterested in marriage at the book's beginning, she cheerfully connects with herself to Mr. Knightly before its end
