Jane Austen’s novel Emma (1815) centers on Emma Woodhouse, a “handsome, clever, and rich” young woman who believes she is an excellent matchmaker. However, her attempts at matchmaking lead to romantic misadventures, including misunderstandings with the characters Harriet Smith and Mr. Elton (each of whom prefers another person), and ultimately, Emma’s realization of her own feelings for her friend and neighbor Mr. George Knightley.
