Emma And Mr Knightley Relationship
1,602 wordsIt has always been a myth that sun signs describe who you are. Most of the times, it seems unbelievable to accept the fact that the position of the sun and the planets determine the person's character, yet we mostly identify firmly with our signs. The characters from Jane Austen's famous novel, Emma, can be identified with their signs because of their unique personality traits. I believe the protagonist of the novel, Emma Woodhouse, is definitely a Leo. It is stated that "In grandeur of manner, ...

October Emma And Mr Knightley
1,498 wordsAuthor Jane Austen Title Emma Publisher Everyman's Library Cop. London. 1991 First published in 1816 Motto The book does not have a motto. I chose this book because I read Pride and Prejudice and I absolutely loved it. My mother told me Jane Austen wrote another book like it called 'Emma', and I decided to try it.

Emma And Mr Woodhouse
798 wordsJane Austen opens the novel with a paragraph about the heroine, Emma. She is 'handsome, clever and rich'. At the social event we meet Miss Bates and Emma can be juxtaposed with her. This first paragraph shows how Emma is a happy character and has had a sheltered lifestyle living with her 'most affectionate, indulgent father'.
