It’s too long. I felt like we were going in circles. I really enjoyed it until Emma just did not learn again and again. I can see how that’d be more interesting for someone who has a higher tolerance for arrogant/static/obnoxious characters but I do not.
Jane Austen was kinda right when she said „[Emma] is a character that no one but myself will much like.“ but that’s fine. I really liked the satire and comedy though, Austen is a really witty writer, which is why I enjoy her works generally.
