A cautionary tale about the evils of interference, matchmaking and
good intentions turned awry, Emma is the study of a young woman
raised without sufficient discipline or occupation. Handsome,
clever and rich, Emma is the epitome of what a young woman should
be in Regency England, except for the fact that her indulgent
father and lack of a mother have left her spoiled and used to
getting her own way. Emma's only true critic and voice of reason is
Mr. Knightley, a gentleman whose opinion she values greatly. She
delights in meddling in the romantic affairs of everyone around
her, thinking celibacy is a privilege she alone can enjoy by virtue
of her social standing. In the end, Emma is forced to acknowledge
both her own lack of insight into the motives of others, and admit
her need for a companion who can challenge her to become a better
woman. (Summary by Moira Fogarty)
