Book Report of “Emma”Jane Austen is one of my favoritenovelists.Herwork, "Prideand Prejudice" I have read a lot oftimes, Ireallylike this book and every roles in this novel, so dose “Emma”.Think aboutJane Austen, a woman who never married all around her life, full of mystery. Sheis a famous Britishfemalenovelist, her workfocused onthe squireofmarriage andfamilylifeof womeninfemale-specificnuancedobservation andlively wittexttruepicture of theworld aroundherlittle world.Her fatherservedinthe localrectoryfor forty years, full of knowledge. And her mother came fromrelativelywealthy families, also has certain culturalaccomplishment. Although Austin did not enter formal school, but she is in good condition and reading environment of the family, gave her self-conditions, she cultivated her interest in writing. She began to write something at the age of thirteen, just a girl of thirteen-year-old enough to show her talent in terms of language. And it is no wonder how she can write out great works like these.Throughout her life, there is not too much works, but famous enough. "Pride and Prejudice" is Jane Austen's masterpiece. And "Emma" is one of the most influential 19th-century classicalnovels, I read it for several times andit impressed me deeply too many times. The two movies also have beenadapted intomovies and TV show many times“Emma”, wrote by Jane Austen,is a comic novel about the perils of misconstrued romance.The novel was first published in December 1815.As in her other novels,Austen explores the concerns and difficulties of genteel women living in Georgian-Regency England; she also creates a lively comedy of manners' among her characters.Let’s tell about the story. Heroine Emmaisthe richest man inHighburyMr.Woodhouse's youngest daughter, well-educatedfrom childhoodgoverness, MissTaylor. With her father's big love andcarefreelivingenvironment, soshedeveloped apretentiouscharacter.So Emma Woodhouse, a beautiful, intelligentand wealthygirl, aged 20, but alsoanout-and-outfantast.She is interested in all the romanticthings side of her life, but stubbornlythinkingshe wouldneverget into it. She wasgiven a free handtoorphansHarriet Smith, her friend, a pretty young girl but nothing in mind, she was a bastard, work after graduating at the nearby boarding school retention, Emma charge to protect her and directher lovelife again and again. WhenHarriet Smithmistakenly thought that shefell in love withlocal officialsMr.George Knightley, Emmajust only to findthat it is herself who fell inlove with Mr.George Knightley. Althoughit is contrary to her vow that she would not marry with anybody lifelong, but fall in love, she must break her innocent vow. Miss Taylorgave birth to adaughter,Emmabegan to dream ofmakingfamily life. Aftera series of setbacks, Knightley and Emma finally spit mutual Passions; Robert Martin Knightley's help, finally got Harriet love. So at the end of the story, her and her friend both got their happiness.The most classical sentences in “Emma” is “That is the case with us all, papa. One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other.”May be everyone who has read this book would remember the sentence deeply, But a famous dialogue in “Emma”which touched me deeply is the dialogue between Emma and her best friend Harriet. ”’That you are not yet married, you are so charming.’‘I assure you, I have very little intention of marrying at all.’‘It is so very odd to hear a woman talk like that.’‘I have fortune,I am occupied, and without love, why would I want to change my situation? But, ah, do not worry, Harriet, for I shall be a rich old maid. And it is only poor old maids who invite the world’”. From it, it tells to every girl that you should not to worry about marrying with someone, you should try your best to do yourself, make yourself a better life, and also give us an answer why some girl do not have married at the suitable age. It teaches me a correct sense of love, love maybe is an important part in life, but is not everything in your life, the most important is you, read more books, do exercise, go for a walk, out to see the world, keep a kind-hearted, keep optimistic, be happy, be strong, and you will find ,the world will be better, and nothing can beat you, and you can get whatever you dream if you try your hard.Maybe the book's influence between readers not as great as "Pride and Prejudice", but it Generating a moving force, it’s about the true marriage.

Reflections on EmmaEmma is a typical novel of Jane Austen which published in 1815—no fierce conflicts, but attractive narration, detailed description and vivid characters, which are her masterly writing skills and features of her novels. Although there is only flat narration, it involves little things unconsciously which arrests the readers.In conclusion, Emma reflects the times which Jane Austen lived. In the 19th century England, complex and confusion social hierarchy and the interaction between the various social classes are prevailing. Emma persuades her friend Harriet to marry Robert Martin ,a peasant in that she thinks that Martin is in a lower class than Harriet. That’s the reason why she encourages Harriet to love Mr. Elton, a clergyman in possession of wealth. Generally, literature is a mirror of the society. Emma’s behavior can be explained by her status. Jane Austen slightly satirized the society she lived in through this work. In addition to social hierarchy, she also disproved self-righteousness and self-assertion.In the next parts, I will focus on characters analysis according to my own perception.Emma Wood house, a clever, wealthy and charming young lady, but spoiled by her father and her nanny Miss Taylor, is the heroine of the novel. In my opinion, she is warm-hearted and addicts to match-makingfor her friend, Harriet. Although she believes that she is always right on every issue, she listens to Mr. Knightley’s advice. Emma is so different from women at that time,she provided people at that time an idea that it is not only a man could choose life, but a woman could choose her happiness, too.However, Emma is a little imaginative, to some degree, she is self-righteous. Sh e disagrees Harriet’s marriage with Martin, regardless of how deeply they love each other . She introduces Mr. Elton to Harriet so that Harriet can have a decent life. But Mr. Elton shows interest in Emma ,more accurately, Emma’s large wealth, instead of p oor Harriet whose identity remains secret. That also causes Harriet loves in pain and in vain. It seems that Emma helps Harriet to find an appropriate husband who has the ability to give Harriet a wonderful life, but what she has done just make the simple matter more complicated.Moreover, Jane Austen put her irony cautiously in the relationship between Emma and Frank Churchill. In other words, both of them take advantage of each other. When other people find that Frank Churchill admires Emma, Emma still keeps her promise of not marrying, so she refuses falling in love with Frank Churchill inwardly.Jane Austen satirizes those people who think themselves are intelligent that they are able to control others at their will, on the contrary, they can’t benefit f rom what they already done.George Knightley, in the description of the author, is a truly gentleman who is well-educated, genteel and righteous. He treats Martin as his friend, ignoring their social class . He is the only person who opposes Emma’s absurd match-making, and he always provides reasonable suggestion to Emma. Thus, one notices that his love for Emma is not blind. Maybe Jane Austen expresses her attitude about love through Mr. Knightley, that is, love includes mutual progress. Comparing with Mr. Darcy, the protagonist in Pride and Prejudice, Mr. Knightley respects the lower class while Mr. Darcy looks down on people who inferior to him. Therefore, Mr. Knightley seems to be a perfect character, in which conveys Jane Austen’s hope of the English so ciety: a no absurd self-approbation and self-assertion higher social class.Harriet, she really appreciates Emma’s friendship because she thinks that Emma’s high social status is inappropriate with her lower class. Because of such appreciation, Harriet dar es not to refuse Emma’s concern for her marriage and never opposes Emma’s improper match-making. That’s the irony of social hierarchy. In the novel, Harriet is a young girl without her own thoughts. She obey s to Emma’s arrangement to refuse Martin’s proposal but to consider Mr. Elton as a future husband, even if she loves Marin thoroughly. Jane Austen herself never married, but she criticized hesitation and illusion in love,like Harriet who depends on others to decide for them. Similar with Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen showsthat true love never changes and people usually get hurt in love until they understand and cherish true love.This story also tell us another truth. After making a lot of mistakes, Emma abandoned imagination, and become more and more mature.And we should not be arrogant（傲慢）.If we make a mistake, we should correct it on time.Every work is the author’s observation and reflection of the society, Emma is no exception. It’s the combination of Jane Austen’s efforts and achievement. It’s the traditional and typical Austen-style for its special, delicate description from the perspective of a female author. To some extent, Emma is not only a miniature of the English society in which Jane Austen lived, but also the treasure in literature because it contains realism.。

Thank you!AbstractEmma may not be the most popular one of all Jane Austen’s novels,but undoubtedly it’s the most mature one in style and the most complete one in structure. In this novel, the author’s understandings of reality, reflections of life and the use of writing techniques are more profound and skilled than the earlier ones. Emma fully reflects Jane Austen’s ability to master language and shape the characters, and the skills of literary exploration. Her true and accurate portrayal of human nature, keen observation of British Regency society, as well as superb mastery of the art techniques still make us gasp in admiration.Jane Austen has successfully created a series of female characters, who have their own characteristics, and each one in the novel occupies a different location and has a different role. Emma, the heroine, is the most prominent character, and is also the representative one among all of Austen’s characters. Emma describes how the heroine walks one error out to moral perfection and the process of emotional maturation.The main research point of this thesis is the analysis of Emma’s view of values and the social causes. This thesis is divided into four parts. The first part is the synopsis for the novel and the brief introduction of Emma’s characteristics. The second part describes Emma's various values such as wealth, friendship and love, and uses concrete examples to demonstrate them. The formation of such values must have various causes, so in the third part of this thesis three social causes are analyzed, and I also combine these causes with the economic background at that time.Lastly, this thesis briefly narrates the reference significance of Emma to the development of modern women. What’s more, I also put forward my general ideas and thoughts on feminism and the growth of modern women.Keyword: Emma, Feminism, Views of value, Views of marriage, Social Causes中文摘要《爱玛》或许不是奥斯丁小说中最受欢迎的一部，但却是风格最成熟、结构最完整的一部。
