Answer 2

Emma, by Jane Austen is a comic novel about the perils of misconstrued romance. The author explores the difficulties  and concerns of genteel women living in Georgian-Regency England. Austin also creates a lively ‘comedy of manners’ amongst her characters.

Explanation:

• The first Austen character with no financial concerns is Emma Woodhouse. And that is the that Emma explains to the inexperienced Miss Smith that she had little desire to marry.
• It is a great departure from other novels by Austen, in which two of themes  are about the quest for love and financial stability. The sufficient financial resources of Emma are among the reasons that render this book much lighter than the plays of Austen
• Emma is also surprisingly immune to romance and physical desire. In comparison to Marianne Dashwood of Austen, who is attracted by the wrong guy before she moves on and settles with the right man, Emma shows no romantic interest in the men she meets.
• She is so surprised and disappointed as Mr. Elton expresses his love to her in the same manner as Elizabeth Bennet reacts to Mr. Collins's proposal. Her desire for the Frank Churchill is more a desire for a little drama than a desire for true love in her life.
• Thus, in fact, Emma utterly does not grasp the budding affection of Harriet Smith and Robert Martin for each other; she interprets the potential match purely for financial considerations and social aspirations. Only when Harriet Smith reveals her interest in Mr. Knightley does Emma realise her feelings for him.
• Emma's incapacity to fall in love with another man , though never mentioned as such, may be believed to be her unconscious love for Mr. Knightley for several years.
• Whilst Emma varies distinctly from Austen's other heroines in these two ways, she is a woman with with too little to do and who can not alter her position or her daily life.
• While her family is lovable and economically stable, her everyday life is still uncomfortable, and when the novel starts she has few companions of her age. Emma’s resolute and inept matchmaking represents a muted protest against the narrow realm of a life of a wealthy woman, , particularly that of a woman who is single and childless.
