Emma (novel): Difference between revisions

Written in 1815, '''''Emma''''' is a novel that takes a slightly different take on [[Jane Austen]]'s typical romantic novel, particularly in the fact that the heroine herself is a [[Rich Bitch]].

[[Emma/Characters|Emma Woodhouse]], who has been spoiled ever since she was a small child, had always had a penchant for ordering the world as she sees fit. So when she meets the [[Good Is Dumb|sweet and pretty but slightly slow]] young Harriet, she decides that she will set up Harriet with a husband worthy of her feminine charms. [[Hilarity Ensues]], with [[Zany Scheme|zany schemes]], terrible misunderstandings, gossip gone awry and, of course, since this is a Jane Austen novel, Emma needing to realize that {{spoiler|her [[First Girl Wins|oldest friend, Mr. Knightley]], is actually the man that she loves. But will she realize it in time, or will she lose him to another woman?}}

Notably adapted as the film ''[[Clueless]]'' and, in the current trend of [[Literary Mash -Ups]], as ''[http://www.amazon.com/Emma-Werewolves-Austens-Blood-curdling-Lycanthropy/dp/1926712099 Emma and the Werewolves]''. There are also several straight [[Emmafilm (film)|adaptations]] worth watching. A musical with songs by Paul Gordon was also produced in the last 2000s. Marvel Illustrated produced a [[Comic Book Adaptation]] in 2011, script by Nancy Butler, art and covers by Janet Lee (''Return of the Dapper Men'').
