Jane Austen's 'Emma'
Emma, unmarried and in her early twenties, lives with her widower-father in a beautiful house in Highbury, close to London. Obsessed with creating romantic couples among her friends and acquaintances, she chooses the local, uncultured Miss Harriet Smith as her latest project.
Exercising her manipulative abilities, Emma persuades Miss Smith to reject a sweet-hearted farmer's proposal, in favor of Mr. Elton, a young vicar far higher on the social ladder. But Mr. Elton, to Emma's chagrin, has designs on someone else -- namely, Emma. For the mortified Emma, this is just the beginning of a series of miscalculations and blunders. -- Desson Howe
