Emma

The idea of finding the “perfect match” was mentioned in both the novel and the movie but, with a few differences. What is the perfect match? To have a happy life? Be financially secure? Or does is have to be love at first sight? In both the novel and the movie, Emma still has the same intentions. She wanted to find the perfect match for her new “project” dealing with Harriet Smith.

Another major difference in the movie is that many of the Character’s backgrounds are left out or simplified significantly. For example,while picking strawberries, and at the picnic at Box Hill. This major difference could be interpreted in different ways. This was probably left out because there is no “outrageous” flirting between Frank and Emma in the movie.

In the movie, we can see Frank sitting next to Jane and Miss Bates.
