Emma Woodhouse
Emma Woodhouse is the 20-year-old protagonist of Jane Austen's novel ''Emma''. She is described in the novel's opening sentence as "handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and a happy disposition." Jane Austen, while writing the novel, called Emma "a heroine whom no-one but myself will much like."〔(''Emma'' ) at the Jane Austen Society of the United Kingdom〕 Emma is the richest of Austen's heroines.
Emma is an independently wealthy woman who lives with her father in their home Hartfield in the English countryside near the village of Highbury. The novel concerns her attempts to be a matchmaker among her acquaintances and her own romantic misadventures.
Emma professes that she does not ever wish to marry (unless she falls very much in love),as she has no financial need to, having a large inheritance and she doesn't wish to leave her father alone. After series of new engagements, visits at Highbury and lots of miscommunication, Emma finds herself falling in love with her friend George Knightley.
==Personality==
Emma often behaves in a frivolous or selfish way, and shows a lack of consideration for her friends and neighbours. She carelessly manipulates the life of her friend Harriet Smith, neglects her acquaintance Jane Fairfax, and insults the poor and dependent Miss Bates. However, her friends, especially Mrs Weston and George Knightley, see potential in her to improve herself and become a better person.
