Emma

Written by one of the most read writers in English Literature

Emma Woodhouse is rather a strong-headed, beautiful, upper middle-class young woman who lives with her father and who has resolved not to marry. Yet, she spends considerable time and energy trying to make matches for the other people around her and tends to draw amusement and satisfaction from such practice. Emma tries to match her friend Harriet to a man named Mr. Elton, and starts by making her friend Harriet reject a marriage proposal from a young farmer who is a much more suitable partner for her. When Emma informs Mr. Elton of her intention to match him to her friend, he feels insulted, considering Harriets inferior social class. He leaves the town while Emma keeps on trying to find a husband for Harriet.
