The story, Emma, by Jane Austen, is a riveting tale about a heroine who through her determined will to assist others, realizes and attains her own dreams and desires.

As it is difficult to delimit the beginning part of a novel, it is possible to say that at the beginning of this novel, the main character, Emma, is a self-satisfied twenty-one year old woman who feels no need to get married. Emma is a meddlesome girl, and there are things one doesn't like about her (at times she's a bit of a snob). Emma Woodhouse is an unusual and very imaginative heroine. The story begins with her governess having recently married, thanks to Emma's matchmaking. Emma enjoys the triumph of her match, but is lonely without the woman who was like a mother to her, and decides she needs to find some new entertainment.
          Miss Harriet Smith is her new "victim," and they keep each other's company quite well. Then Emma decides that Harriet would be suitable for Mr. Elton. Even though Harriet is an orphan and her family's background unknown, Emma wants to "improve her" for a higher social status. Harriet enjoys all the transformations and improvements, but her heart is already set on someone. When he proposes, that coupling, disapproved of by Emma, quickly dissolves with a letter of refusal composed with assistance from the matchmaker herself. Later it is possible to find out Mr. Elton has feelings for someone else, and everything backfires on Emma.
          Towards the end of the book she realizes her mistakes and goes through some self-examination to realize her blunders. It is only when she understands that she has been meddling in other people’s affairs when she does not even understand her own feelings, that she is able to find her true love and marry Mr. Knightley.
