Emma is the novel by Jane Austen which combines irony, wit, realism, vivid characterization, moral seriousness, and faultless control of tone and narrative method. Emma Woodhouse, clever and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition, thinks a little too highly of herself, and entertains herself by meddling in the affairs of others. She is blind to her own feelings and dangerously insensitive to the feeling of others. The results are not always to her liking. Though, outwardly the story line of Emma appears to be dealing with the subject of young ladies finding suitable husbands, a close reading of the novel would show that it is much more than that.
