Emma

Three varying authors from the 1800-time period write entirely diverse novels, with two of the authors even sisters. Jane Austen’s “Emma”, Charlotte Bronte’s “Jane Eyre”, and Emily Bronte’s “Wuthering Heights” have varying characters and contrasting conflicts; yet, there are many similarities among the chapter one novels. Every novel has characters, relationships, and conflicts that entice the reader to keep turning the page. This is best acquired by presenting major character conflicting…

Please note that while the cover is simplistic, it is intended to be as such. The novel contains a multitude of vintage photographs which are both creepy and shrouded in mystery. This was the theme I tried to capture with this CD cover. Analysis: The first reason as to why I chose this song is that the music/beat is uplifting and almost innocent, in a sense. This is reflective of the fact that all of the main characters in the novel Hollow City by Ransom Riggs are children or teenagers, an…

leaving the answer to the question, “What did she say?” open for inference. Furthermore, Emma focuses more of the relationships of the characters rather than the characters themselves. Throughout the novel there is an evident “veritable poetic of saving and being saved.” (Kreisel). Kreisel looks at the novel as having a plot focused widely on marriage and heroinism, as many of Austen’s novels do. She interprets Emma as a novel in which the pleasure of reading comes from the marriage…

Jane Austen is one of the most notable and influential female writers of all time. With heart wrenching and thought provoking novels like Emma, Sense and Sensibility, and Pride and Prejudice it’s no wonder Jane has an unwieldy legacy. Much like the writers in her time Austen drew inspiration from within and much of the world around her. However, readers and critics alike have often stated that her muse is unlike any other. A dissection of Jane Austen’s notable works reveals one astonishing…

On page 15, in the book of The Legend of Jesse Owens, Emma always envisioned of taking her family to the North to find a better life. In her dream, she saw her husband working a fine job and all her children attending high school. Another example of her dream was that there would be a church would be nearby, instead of it being nine-miles away, and she could afford to put store bought meat on the table. Emma planned on turning her dream for the family into reality. She badgered her husband,…

Then, she began to work on her first novel in 1796, First Impressions. This eventually became Pride and Prejudice and it is probably the most-read of all of Austen’s novels. (The Works of Jane Austen) Austen went on to write Mansfield Park (1814), Emma (1815), Persuasion (1817 - posthumous), Northanger Abbey (1817 - posthumous), and Sanditon (began in 1817, unfinished at time of death.)

a little seed of feminism, or the start of feminism, into their minds with stories that challenged current views. All of Austen’s works deal with these issues and their themes have resonated through the centuries. In a modern adaptation of Austen’s Emma, Clueless, we see that the same themes that arise in a traditional adaptation of Sense & Sensibility such as whether to marry for love or money,…

It often seems that the most momentous changes and events in people’s lives are also the most uncertain in their foundations. People always ask “what if this had happened differently?” or “what if that had happened differently?” or “what if I had behaved differently?” when meditating over major events – either good or bad – that they have experienced, be it love, death, or something in between. There are often not definite causes to definite outcomes. The outcomes of Jane Austen’s novel…
