A review by amanda1793
Emma by Jane Austen
4.0
I have only read two Austen novels... this is my favourite.
The growth of Emma as a character through the novel was interesting, however rushed near the end of the novel. I did enjoy that she was able to grow and realize the "error of her ways" in meddling where she shouldn't, and making comments that hurt people's feelings in the presence of others and how, given her place in society, her opinion rather means something to the community as a whole.
Some characters did grate on my nerves, which was clearly what was intended to happen but man where they annoying.
Full transparency, I was roughly 2/3s of the way through the novel when I saw the newest film adaptation prior to theatres in my area closing. I feel that the film aided in my understanding of the story as a whole, and was gorgeous in it's own right!
