Author: Jane Austen
I heard this book is one of the best of Jane Austen for a long ago, and I really want to make a try. Compare with Pride and Prejudice, for me PnP is still the best. But compare with the other female character in her others book, I prefer Emma.
Being clever, rich, beautiful and with a comfortable home make Emma sure she doesn’t need matromany. However, she delights to do matchmaker for her society. When she ignores the warning from her good friend Mr Knightley and attempts to arrange suitable match for her little friend Harriet Smith, her careful plan soon doesn’t work properly and have consequences that she never expected.
Emma not always perfect, she also do some errors. But I love how after the error she already done, she is really trying to reduce the result and not ignore it.
I love also Mr Knightley. He is not the same Mr Darcy, he is steady, straightforward, gentlemanlike, the man you can rely on.
But the character who really amuse me is Miss Bates. It is very amazing how her tongue really can speak anything about anything and fast. I understand why people around her can’t stand on listening her more than necessary, but I salute her ability to take any subject and talk about it, hmmm blabbering I mean.
The funny character I love also is Mr Woodhouse, who’s a weakly hypochondria forever nattering about the evils of eating food that’s less bland than gruel, getting exposed to the weather, working too hard, or travelling. He regards marriages as tragedies which make woman must left her comfort home and always pity his Isabella and Miss Taylor.
