Critical Analysis on Novel “Emma”

Jane Austen passed her at age of forty when her fourth published novel namel Emma
which appeared in 1816, the year before she died. Although Pride and Prejudice (1813)
has always been her most famous novel, Emma is generally regarded as one of her most
famous. In her maturity work, she once again contracted with Millie, whom she prefers:
"There are 3 or 4 family things in a country village."

Emma can be seen as a bildungsroman or a coming-of-age novel, in which the main

character grows in awareness of himself and others. Emma Woodhouse, beautiful and
smart, lives in a larger world which is not bigger the village of Highbury and some of the
surrounding land. In today's world, the Woodhouse family is the most important one. As
Austen puts it, the real danger for Emma is "the power to be self-sufficient, and to think
for yourself a little better."

These risks are unknown to Emma. In the blind exercise of her power over Highbury, she
involved herself in a series of ridiculous errors, deciding wrongly that Reverend Philip
Elton should not care for her but Harriet Smith. For her Frank Churchill instead of Jane
Fairfax; Harriet for Frank instead of George Knightley; And Coconut for her, rather than
for Harriet. It is a triumph of Austin's art that, of course, is unrealistic or explicitly
mistaken accounts of Emma, they are arguably part of Emma's charming example.
Emma's delight in error can be partially unavoidable, as her life is limited by the
limitations of the hybrids and her environment. She is more limited than the gentle
disgrace of her Waltadianian father, who resists any kind of change and emphasizes the
social life confined to her small circle.

Emma is convinced that she has not equals in Highbury. Knightley thoroughly
understands Harriet's basic concept of leadership in Eri's friendship: "How can Emma
imagine she has anything to learn for herself, while Harriet is presenting such a cheerful
lad?" Emma rises above the others as is the fears stream. Of the competent farmer,
Robert Martin, Harriet's wolf, he observes, "But a farmer does not need my help, and so
in one sense is as much to my knowledge as he is under any other method." . " Its
solution as a gene is repeatedly praised by judges whose praise attracts the highest
excellence of any gene.
Emma's task is to not be understood and to be free from the limits imposed by her
pride, from her father's flattering tyranny and the limited views of Hiambi. She will do it
all without sacrificing her honor and her wisdom, her father, or society. The author
prepares for the possibility of a solution from the very beginning, especially for
Knightley as the standard of maturity for which Emma should strive. Emma is always
aware of her value to some extent, and she often puts her stupidity to the test in her
decisions. There are brief, important occasions when the two work together to create or
restore social harmony united by the emotional perceiver; However, it's not until Harriet
considers herself worthy of love that Emma is surprised to find that Knightley is even
bigger than her and Harriet is even higher. She is basically lacking in human empathy,
giving people second or third degree status in High bury or analyzing them to express
their intellect. She begins to take sensitivity, however, as she experiences her
humiliation. He did not regret Miss Beatty's departure because not only was Knightley
unhappy but he also felt that he had been wronged.
Even more so, compared to the coming of age of the novel, Emma also examines the
larger themes of community and class. Austin's theory of community, while
geographically limited, neglects class proximity to be the sole decision maker in favor of
class discrimination. In Austin, the hardships of the class are both.
