Explanation In Favor Of Books Emma

“I may have lost my heart, but not my self-control.”

Personally, I may have lost my self-control, but not my heart.
My motivation to read this book stemmed from J.K. Rowling stating that this was one of her favourite books. A few years ago I read my first Jane Austen, which was Pride and Prejudice, and I really enjoyed it.
I thought Emma couldn't be that bad, it's a popular classic and its rating is good. To be honest, it's not bad, exactly, but the fact that it took me one whole month to get through it says a lot. I had lots and lots of problems with this novel.

1. Emma


Such a vain and arrogant main character. I mean, I know she is supposed to be an unlikeable character for literary reasons. But that doesn't make it any easier.

2. Miss Bates


Why bother wasting so much ink and paper on nonsense. Numerous pages of nonsense.

3. They way people are


Wait. Let me guess. That character is - wait for it - pleasant? The nicest person in the world? Of such sweet disposition? So generous, exceptional, kind, satisfactory and pleasant. Please save me.

4. The way people talk


Hours could go by and Emma and her father could talk about nothing but the pig they owned and had slaughtered, and what they'll make of it for dinner, and how nice it was that they gave some of it to the Bates, and if it was the right part of the pig they gave away, or if they should have given something else, but no it is all fine and pleasant, and that was very generous of them, and they will surely be very gracious, since they gave away such fine piece of pork, and won't dinner be nice and kick me on the shin pleasant.

5. The plot


Scratch 300 pages of nonsense and nervewracking pleasantness and this could have been a book I enjoyed.

This is a book about math, mirrors and crystal balls, and dont let anyone tell you otherwise. Village life? Sorta. The lives of the idle rich? I mean, sure, but only partially and incidentally. Romance? Barely. A morality tale of the Education of Young Lady? The young lady stands for and does many more important things than that. These things provide the base of the novel, the initial bolt of fabric, the first few lines of a drawing that set the limits of the author to writing about these

Okay, when I first started the book and was reading how Emma was taking happiness away from Harriet Smith by telling her that Mr. Martin wasn't good enough for her - I didn't like Emma at all. Now I can understand how Emma only wanted to do good by Harriet and that was how it was back in those days. But, as Mr. Knightely pointed out, Harriet was not from some wealthy family and Emma was doing the wrong thing in trying to find her a great husband. Mr. Knightley went to the trouble to help Mr.

It took me longer to read this than any other Austen novel. It's a lot denser than her usual effortless breezy brilliance and it's also more nuanced and a little darker. For the first time she creates a central female character who isn't likeable. Emma is smug, she's a snob and she's a classic control freak. She tends to disapprove of any coupling she herself hasn't helped bring about. She herself, devoted to her ailing and rather tiresome father, maintains she will never marry. The narrative

If you're into stuff like this, you can read the full review.Such a Beautiful Hindquarter of Pork: "Emma" by Jane AustenI wonder if a variation on the Unreliable Narrator is permissible here? Jane Austens Emma, while narrated solely by the author herself, is told exclusively from the title characters point of view (chime in and correct me if there are scenes in which she doesnt take part, however minor) so that Austen becomes Emmas interpreter, and our interlocutor. Its a very deliberate choice,

My dear Jane Austen, I hope you dont mind that I write to you, expressing my gratitude for your brilliant handling of words. And as the post office is an object of interest and admiration in your novel Emma, I thought a letter would be the adequate way of communicating my thoughts.I must start by confessing that I dont like your heroine at all. Obviously, this sounds like a harsh judgment on a classic character like Emma Woodhouse, and I wouldnt have dared to be as honest with you as I am, had

Austen paints a world of excess. Shes just so fucking brilliant. That much so I found the need to swear. The sarcasm is just oozing out of her words. She doesnt need to tell you her opinions of society: she shows them to you. Simply put, Emmas farther is a ridiculous prat. Theres no other word for it. He spends his day lounging around eating rich and expensive food and doesnt bother to exercise his body or mental faculties. The thought of visiting his recently departed governess, a long-time
