It's undeniable that romance is one of the best feelings that humankind can experience. There is never a time or place for true romance; it's so natural, effortless, and accidental in nature

In fact, when it comes to the heart's matters, rationality may not apply; instead, strong emotions drive it, which makes it prone to misunderstanding.

Jane Austen, in this novel, Emma, writes on this delicate subject of romance and the dangers that follow when it is misunderstood.She was an English novelist whose books are known for their wit, social observation, and insights into early 19th century women's lives, an area she was really passionate about.

Austen looks into the concerns and difficulties of genteel women living in Georgian-Regency, England. Her story is told through the title character Emma Woodhouse who is a beautiful, high-spirited, intelligent though lacks the discipline to practice or study anything in-depth, and 'slightly' spoiled young woman who greatly overestimates her own matchmaking abilities but ends up making some serious mistakes, mainly due to her lack of experience and her conviction that she is always right.

The novel depicts Emma as dangerously confident to the extent of deciding that Jane and Mr. Dixon are mutually attracted and tries to match them and take credit as she had done when Miss Taylor married Mr Weston having introduced them.

Her own youthful misjudgments led her to feel herself falling in love with Frank, but the flirtation was only short-lived; however, she realizes that she loves Mr. Knightley at the end of the novel. She delights in meddling in other people's romantic lives but unable to fix her own.

On several occasions, Emma, who had vowed she would never marry, tried to match others for marriage but ends up feeling ashamed when her plans and scheme don't materialize, but instead, true romance finds its own cause.
