My reading report about


Author:


徐攀攀



Adviser:







Emma


is the last work by Jane Austen. It is a novel about the perils of misconstrued


romance. The novel


was first


published in December 1815.


As in


her other novels,


Austen


explores


the


concerns


and


difficulties


of


genteel


women


living


in


Georgian-Regency England; she also creates a lively comedy of manners' among her


characters.


In


the


very


first


sentence


she


introduces


the


title


character


as



Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich.


greatly overestimates her own matchmaking abilities; and she is blind to the dangers


of meddling in other people's lives and is often mistaken about the meanings of others'


actions. Many critics think it i


s Austen’s most mature


work.



Jane


Austen


(16


December


1775




18


July


1817)


was


an


English


novelist


whose


works of romantic fiction, set among the landed gentry, earned her a place as one of


the


most


widely


read


writers


in


English


literature,


her


realism


and


biting


social


commentary


cementing


her


historical


importance


among


scholars


and


critics.


From


1811 to 1816, with the release of


Sense and Sensibility


(1811),


Pride and Prejudice



(1813),


Mansfield Park


(1814) and


Emma


(1816), she achieved success as a published


writer.


She


wrote


two


additional


novels,


Northanger


Abbey



and


Persuasion


,


both


published


posthumously


in


1818,


and


began


a


third,


which


was


eventually


titled


Sanditon


, but died before completing it.


Character Analysis:


First,


I'll


analyze


the


most


important


role


of


this


book


——


the


heroine,


Emma


Woodhouse.



Emma Woodhouse, the protagonist of the story, is a beautiful, high-spirited, intelligent,


and 'slightly' spoiled young woman of the age of twenty. Her mother died when she


was very young, and she has been mistress of the house ever since, certainly since her


older


sister


got


married.


Although


intelligent,


she


lacks


the


necessary


discipline


to


practice


or


study


anything


in


depth.


She


is


portrayed


as


very


compassionate


to


the


poor, but at the same time has a strong sense of class. Her affection for and patience


towards


her


hypochondriac


father


are


also


noteworthy.


While


she


is


in


many


ways


mature for her age, Emma makes some serious mistakes, mainly due to her conviction


that she is always right and her lack of real world experience. Although she has vowed


she


will


never


ever


marry,


she


delights


in


making


matches


for


others.


She


seems


unable


to


fall


in


love,


until


jealousy


makes


her


realize


that


she


has


loved


Mr.


Knightley all along.


Then I'm going to introduce the second main character.


George


Knightley,


about


thirty-seven


years


old,


is


a


close


friend


of


Emma,


and


her


only critic, although he cares deeply for her. Mr. Knightley is the owner of the estate


of


Donwell


Abbey,


which


includes


extensive


grounds


and


a


farm.


He


is


the


elder


brother


of


Mr.


John


Knightley,


the


husband


of


Emma's


elder


sister


Isabella.


Mr


Knightley is very annoyed with Emma for persuading Harriet to turn down Mr. Martin,


thinking


that


the


advantage


is


all


on


Harriet's


side;


he


also


warns


Emma


against


matchmaking


Harriet


with


Mr.


Elton,


correctly


guessing


that


Mr.


Elton


has


a


much


higher


opinion


of


himself.


He


is


suspicious


of


Frank


Churchill


and


his


motives;


although his suspicion turns out to be based mainly on jealousy of the younger man,


his instincts are proven correct by the revelation that Frank Churchill is not that entire


he seems.


Plot:


Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and


rich,


although convinced that she herself


will never marry anyone, she imagines herself to be naturally gifted in conjuring love


matches. After self-declared success at matchmaking between her governess and Mr.


Weston, a village widower, Emma takes it upon herself to find an eligible match for


her


new


friend,


Harriet


Smith.


Though


Harriet’s


parentage


is


unknown,


Emma


is


convinced


that Harriet deserves to be a gentleman’s wife and sets her friend’s sights


on


Mr.


Elton,


the


village


vicar.


Meanwhile,


Emma


persuades


Harriet


to


reject


the


proposal of Robert Martin, a well-to-do farmer for whom Harriet clearly has feelings.


Harriet


beco


mes


infatuated


with


Mr.


Elton


under


Emma’s


encouragement,


but


Emma’s plans go awry when Elton makes it clear that his affection is for Emma, not
