Emma

Summary

"Emma" is a novel by English author Jane Austen, published in 1815. The story follows the life of a young woman from the upper class named Emma Woodhouse, who possesses all the blessings one could wish for: she is beautiful, intelligent, and wealthy. However, Emma has an excess of self-confidence and a tendency to meddle too much in the private lives of those around her, especially when it comes to the marriages of her friends. Despite her good intentions, Emma's efforts often lead to unexpected and sometimes unpleasant consequences. Throughout the novel, Emma gradually becomes aware of her mistakes and biases, learning to appreciate true friendship and love. The book subtly explores themes of social relationships, prejudices, and personal self-awareness through the lens of everyday life in early 19th-century English provincial society.
