Emma is a novel which I loved so much and it is a novel about the perils of misconstrued romance. The novel was first published in December 1815. Emma is a beautiful, high-spirited and intelligent but slightly spoiled young woman that she greatly overestimates her own matchmaking abilities and she often mistaken about the meanimgs of others actions. Although convinced that she herself will never marry anyone, Emma Woodhouse, a precocious almost twenty-one-year-old resident of the village of Highbury, imagines herself to be naturally gifted in conjuring love matches. Her mother died when she was very young, and she has been mistress of the house ever since, certainly since her older sister got married. Although intelligent, she lacks the necessary discipline to practice or study anything in depth. She makes some serious mistakes, mainly due to her conviction that she is always right and her lack of real experience. She seems unable to fall in love, until jealousy makes her realise that she has loved Mr.Knightley all along. He is about 37 years old, is close friend of Emma and he cares deeply for her. Mr.Knightley is the owner of the estate of Donwell Abbey, which includes extensive grounds and a farm. He is the elder brother of Mr.John Knightley, the husband of Emma's elder sister İsabella.
When I read this book the story imperessed me so much that one should not make desition for another person because he or she will make mistake as Emma did. However, in the end she understood her mistates and her love. We people should correct our mistakes as Emma did and live with respect and love.
