Meet-Emma

Emma is very young, so she always uses kindness in the wrong place. She proudly lists her friend Harriet as a noble girl of her kind, but ignores the fact that her friend has no parents. Emma "kindly" told Harriet to reject a farmer's proposal, saying that she deserves better, and let her fall into the dream of being able to marry Mr. Elton, and then it turns out that Emma has no talent for being a matchmaker at all, and all her good intentions have changed. Become an injury.

Emma is very young, so it is difficult for her to distinguish her feelings. She mistakenly thought that she was in love with Frank, because this essentially scumbag was scornful and sarcasm towards his neighbors who were also elders.

Fortunately, Emma is very young, so she still has gentle and gentleman Mr. Knightley by his side to protect her, teach her, and make her mature slowly.

I really like what Emma said in the movie: "I don't need marriage, I don't lack money, and I don't lack status."

Emma is the tallest girl in Jane Austen's works. She doesn't need to rely on others, and she has never been looked down upon by others. This is the happiest state for a girl. Don’t worry about getting involved in marriage. She may sometimes look forward to love, but she won’t be too forceful, because she can live well alone.

The movie also clearly shows that loving someone is selfish. Before Emma fell in love with Mr. Knightley, she helped her friend Harriet generously, but after learning that Harriet also fell in love with the same person, she became restless and even prayed that Mr. Knightley would never marry. It's selfish, but it's true, just like everyone you might meet around you.

I hope that all kindness is properly placed, all love, even if it is selfish, do not hurt others, all girls can be free from marriage and have money and status.

    This is really an era of looking at the face~Emma has a kind element, but gossip is rare~ In the end, she returned with Mi Nan, and I have to sigh that every era is a look at the face~

    No matter which version, I really can't like this self-righteous Emma who is a good teacher and likes to make red lines for others.

Emma quotes

  • Mrs. Elton: I do not profess to be an expert in the field of fashion (though my friends say I have quite the eye) but I can tell you, there is a shocking lack of satin!

  • Emma Woodhouse: One does not like to generalize about so many people all at once, Mr. Knightley, but you may be sure that men know nothing about their hearts, whether they be six-and-twenty, or six-and-eighty.
