This was definitely interesting. There is so many layers to the books and hidden meanings behind all the dialogues and the language. Have trust issues because of this book as nobody's pov is reliable (especially not Emma's while Mr. Knightly is comparatively more accurate)
"everything is not what it seems" could have been part of the movie's music playlist but make in 1800's
This was a fun read. Compared to P&P, it was definitely more comical and the writing style was a bit different but still enjoyable to say at the very least.
I loved the character development in this book and also character analysis. And I loved how they did a deep dive into the character of the side characters like Miss. Bates, Jane Fairfax, Harriet, Mrs. Elton, John Knightly and so on whom would have otherwise been completely ignored and how these people and their lives and their personality shape Emma to be who she is and also shapes her alteration.
Speaking of the devil, did I like Emma? Surprisingly, I did and didn't at the same time. I found her to be a very humane character who has flaws and makes mistakes (loads of them in fact) but she still has a lot more learning though.
Final thoughts: loved it. Definitely will reread it just to understand the hints on frank churchill's and jane fairfax's relationship and also understand the themes more. Definitely recommend!!

I would have to say I did not thoroughly enjoy the book Emma. I have read pride and prejudice, and sense and sensibility and enjoyed both those books. I especially enjoyed sense and sensibility. But I think the main problem of this book, for me is I didn't like the character Emma. I felt I could not connect to her. I did already know some of the plot so I kept reading. But It if I did not know the plot I would not have. She was such a 'miss know it all' and I didn't like that. I know that's the point of the book, but I just found myself getting annoyed by her. I wish I liked it more :(
