Since Emma knows what's best for everybody, she sets about trying to straighten the world out. She is a strong woman. She spends her days helping her new friend Harriet; she endeavours to find her the perfect husband, and sets about trying to improve her character. She considers herself a true authority on marriage, on matchmaking, but her experience, her credentials, come from one fluke partnership. Is she will succeed to find the perfect husband for her friend or herself actually? Let’s view first some quotes inside this book.
“I may have lost my heart, but not my self-control.”-Emma Woodhouse-
MEANING:-sometimes you’re going to have your heart broken and your emotions toyed with. It’s not unnatural to feel wounded, but be sensible about it and don’t wallow.
“Men of sense, whatever you may choose to say, do not want silly wives.”- Mr. Knightley
MEANING:-men love and cherish women of good sense whom they can value as their equals rather than as playthings.
“A woman is not to marry a man merely because she is asked, or because he is attached to her, and can write a tolerable letter.”- Emma Woodhouse-
MEANING:-Women in the 21st century do have choices, and marriage is just one of those choices. Societal pressure, or the fear of dying alone should never force your hand into something you don’t want.
