Emma Woodhouse is one of Austen’s most captivating and vivid characters. Beautiful, spoilt, vain and irrepressibly witty, Emma organizes the lives of the inhabitants of her sleepy little village and plays matchmaker with devastating effect.
This book is yet again another classic which didn’t work for me personally. But yes I still read classics even thou 80% of them aren’t for me and this book is one of them.
The first 100 page of this book is Emma looking down at people who have lower living standards than her. A good example of this will be the following quote from early in this book “Oh, my dear, that’s good because I would have to knock you flat on your arse if you were considering someone of such low birth.”
Emma is the main character of this book of course. And she has every requirement of a character which I personally hate the most. Emma is annoying, she meddles in things which clearly isn’t her business, she is very immature, a huge snob and her mistakes is never her fault but someone else’s.
The rest of the character here was so boring and uninteresting that I can’t even tell you any of their names.
The plot in this book is about a rich and very snobbish girl who looks down and trash talk people who have less money than her. And her only hobby is to matchmaking for people she doesn’t know at all. And the consequences of her hobby is not her fault but rather the people’s she involve in her awful hobby.
The writings style was probably the best thing about this book. It gives us the amazing mood and it is very easy to read even with the old English.
To be fully honest here this book is way too long. The length of my copy of this book is 480 pages, which is way too long. Because this book is very doll, boring and uninteresting.
Even thou I finished this book there were so many times I wanted to just stop reading, or fall asleep while reading this book.
I Give This Book 1 / 5
