Albeit that she is not yet 21, Emma Woodhouse foresees a
future as a spinster dabbling in matchmaking. Charming and
infuriating, she almost ruins the marriage prospects of Harriet
Smith, her protégée, after misguidedly attempting to match
Harriet with the local rector, who is in fact in search of a wealthy
wife. Reprimanded by her friend, George Knightly, and misled
by Frank Crawford, whom she saw as a potential suitor, Emma
learns some valuable lessons in humility and about love and marriage.
