| The wealthy and somewhat spoiled Emma Woodhouse finds pleasure in trying to make romantic matches for her friends. She takes a poor, farmer's daughter, Harriet, under her wing and makes her a "pet." Harriet falls in love with the right man, Mr. Collins, at first, but Mr. Collins is more interested in Emma. Throughout all the entangling relationships Emma has created, her old friend, Mr. Knightley watches over her shoulder and steps in when he think things are going too far. But Emma does not always listen to him, and thus suffers the consequences. The real trial comes when Harriet falls in love with Mr. Knightley, who is far above her in breeding, social status, and intelligence. By this time Emma realizes, seemingly too late, just how much she loves Mr. Knightley herself. | ||
