As Emma discovers that the way to love people is to encourage their independence, she builds a life that’s not only delightful on the surface, but deeply fulfilling.
I recently watched the 1996 version of EMMA which stars Gwyneth Paltrow as Emma, Jeremy Northam as Mr. Knightly, and Toni Collette as Harriet. I found this to be an excellent portrayal of Emma and of all the things you have discussed about the novel. Paltrow and Collette are excellent in their roles.
That movie was my very first introduction to Austen's works! My mom showed it to me when I was a teenager. I remember loving it, but I haven't seen it in years.
