titular character, Madame Emma Bovary. We discussed whether or not the issues in Emma Bovary's life are caused by herself, or whether or not they were caused by society. Before today, my opinion on Emma was that she was an incredibly unlikable character with a severe lack of redeeming qualities, but after our discussion it became apparent that she was not solely to blame. Through discussion centered heavily around the patriarchal society of 19th century France that Emma finds herself in, we…

Mary Bennett is a rather intriguing character. I find that Austen’s prose is always providing a judgement of her, yet I wonder if that judgement reflects a lack of understanding on the author and protagonist themselves. Take the following lines for example: Her sister Mary, who having, in consequence of being the only plain one in the family, worked hard for knowledge and accomplishments, was always impatient for display (17). In this characterization, Mary comes off as both unattractive and…

Be it gentleman or lady; her genre is truly peculiar. Austen’s criticism of society’s inequality and superficiality grasps a variety of different readers attention because her writing is relevant to humanity as a whole. She wrote her stories in a way that pleases critics and common readers. Furthermore, Austen…

Jane Austen’s satirical guide to proper etiquette and decorum prose fiction/novel Emma (1815) and Amy Heckerling’s teen flick Clueless (1995) were two poles apart yet it retained the essential contexts of the original text. While the original plot of Emma has been altered the themes in Clueless remain the same through textual, intertextual and contextual means. By acclimatizing the picturesque country society of Highbury contrasted to those of the higher class into the fast-paced modernity of…

Amy Heckerling portrays Jane Austen 's novel Emma by directing Clueless, a film that reflects the Regency England into the 20th century world. Although Heckerling updates her audiences from the small town of Highbury into Beverly Hill, she closely imitates the plot and characterization. From the beginning of the novel and film, the similarities between the two heroines are obvious. Both Emma Woodhouse and Cher are spoiled, high class teenagers whose superficial and pretentious attitude throws…

In Emma Austen uses narrative perspective to shape the reader 's experience and interactions with the novel. Although most of the novel is narrated from Emma 's point of view, Mr. Knightley perspective is presented to the reader through dialogue and free indirect discourse. Though we the reader get other view points besides that of Emma 's and Mr. Knightley 's it is usually that of an omniscient narrator. The narrator while critical of Emma is not the novel 's voice of reason though that…

Imagine having to force a smile every day to hide your true feelings. In the novel, Emma, Miss Bates lives a façade to conceal her many insecurities and true unhappiness.
