Emma Woodhouse
Emma Woodhouse is a 21-year-old woman who lives with her father in their home Hartfield in the English countryside. She is described as being handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and a happy disposition. Despite her privileged life, Emma is not without her flaws. She is often meddling in the affairs of others, and she can be quite proud and judgmental. However, she is also kind and generous, and she has a good heart.
The novel concerns Emma's attempts to be a matchmaker among her acquaintances, and her own romantic misadventures. She is initially quite successful at matchmaking, but her plans eventually backfire. She also finds herself falling in love with her neighbour and sister's brother-in-law, George Knightley.
Emma is a complex and fascinating character, and she is one of Jane Austen's most beloved heroines. She is a strong and independent woman, but she is also capable of making mistakes. Her story is a reminder that even the most privileged among us are not immune to the foibles of human nature.
