Mr Woodhouse loves his only daughter Emma very much. Therefore, he allows her to do everything she likes to.

14、 Emma is a girl full of emerge, she like to involve in others lives. She helps Miss Taylor to get a happy marriage. After her marriage, Emma feels lonely, and then Harriet becomes her new friend. Emma tries her best to find a good husband for Harriet, but each time end up with failure. At last, she

15、find herself and Harriet fall in love the same gentlemanMr Knightley. Then Emma put herself in the trouble. Fortunately, Harriet marries to Mr Matine who loves Harriet for a long time. Then Emma marries to Mr Knightley. Emma is a work named after the main character. It described the complicated love

16、 between men and women, as well as the heroine Emma and the process of her perfection. This novel put love, marriage, property and social status together. It reflects the customs and peoples psychological sense at that time vividly. The author of the novel has portrayed the pursuit, loss and pain of

17、 the heroine Emma, which may accurately portray reality. The heroine Emma Woodhouse is always described as a lively personality, which makes Emma an attractive work. However, she is not a perfect lady, and she has merit and defect. In the novel, she always makes mistakes. And then put herself into e

18、mbarrassment. After she put herself in trouble time and time again, she begins to cognize herself. Ultimately, her cognition has improved, her characters has become mature and her moral has upgraded. Womens self-consciousness has played a decisive role in Emmas whole perfection. Female self-consciou

19、sness lives in Emmas heart. Therefore, Emma believes women are equal to men. They have their own rights to pursuit their happiness. Then she has the general behavior of men; she does not think that their destiny lies in the hands of men. The novel highlights womens self-consciousness plays an import

20、ant role in their growth.1. Improvement of Emmas cognitionIn the process of Emmas growth, her cognition has been improved gradually. Her cognition about herself and about other people has been changed, as well as her cognition about love and on understanding of life. In a word, it is a rising of cog

21、nition. In a way, this kind of improvement makes her become more perfect. Here are some examples to prove her perfection.1.1. Emmas cognition about herself and others1.1.1. Emmas cognition about herselfEmma, in terms of intelligence, beauty, property and education, is superior to the rest people who

22、 live in her village. Emma Woodhouse is clever and rich, with a comfortable home. She is a happy character, the greatest happiness in life; she seems to have got in her hand. This is Emma, the first chapter of the first sentence of the first section. Came straight to the point, Emma is unusual. Howe

23、ver, this superiority has not let her become a fully mature and elegant woman, but her personality has become the source of the imperfect. As a result of smart, she has always been self-righteous. She likes to play tricks, and always complacent with her tricks; as a result of rich, she is arrogant,

24、snobbish and condescending. She ignores the people who she dislikes; as a result of lively and energetic, she likes to interfere with others, and sometimes even ill-intentioned inquire peoples privacy. She acts like a proud princess; in accordance with the subjective wishes of her own arranges the w

25、ell-being for the whole Hatfield. She imagines that the low level of social class in Hatfield regards her as their idol: Cole holds a dinner at home mainly because of Emma sitting on the table. If Emma attends a social occasion, she is to give others glory rather than to accept the honor given by ot

26、hers.Emma also believes that she deserves the praise of others, compared with mindless Harriet, Emma is clearly impressive, but she is far from perfect. She flatters by everyone around her. We can not see any real charm of Emma. After the setbacks of all sizes, Emma has a clear understanding of her

27、silly and unreasonable. 1.1.2. Emmas cognition about others As a result of loneliness, Emma chooses a companion called Harriet Smith with her; she thinks that the people get along with Harriet cannot match with her. In fact, Harriet is not too smart, and she is an abandoned girl. But she is thoughtf

28、ul, charming, gentle but not assertive. In the eyes of Harriet, Emma is such a prominent celebrity of Hatfield, which Harriets only desire is to accept the guidance of a superior. She hopes to establish the contact with the middle class, especially rich men to marry, so that she can change her way o

29、f life. Therefore, consciously or unconsciously, Emma believes that Harriet should obey her absolutely. In the eyes of Emma, Robert Martin is just a vulgar farmer; his wife would also be an uneducated farmers daughter. She believes that Harriet and Martin come from different classes. In order to sep

30、arate Harriet from the circle and guide her into high society, Emma wanted to try her best to let Harriet fall in love with Mr. Elton. Emma believes that Mr. Elton is noble than Martin, he has a sense of humor, pleasant, polite, and gentle, but the most important thing is that he belongs to the uppe

31、r classes of society. He is also a very reputable pastor. Emma got along with Martin and found him is smart, good moral character; she had no doubt about the happiness of Harriet. Emma judges other people subjectively. Self-congratulation, she aware of the hypocrisy of Mr. Elton, and Martin was not

32、a vulgar. Without her, Harriet also can get happiness. 1.2. Emmas cognition about love1.2.1. Emmas cognition about true loveEmma made this statement: Women usually want to get married, I do not think so. Love neither consistent with my hobby, nor my personality. Property, I do not need; work, I do n

33、ot need; status I do not need to. I believe that married women who did not have such rights at her home as my rights in Hatfield.1 Emma does not want to join the society of Hatfield, so she gets the idea of being single. However, she awards love the first time when she attends the community, she has

34、 learnt that she has a need of community: The new-born baby than she favored . all good things must end . Mr Knightley will not come here to spend the night time. He will not be ready to enter the house as before; . How to put up with of the case?2 Emmas understanding about love is one persons depen

35、dence and needs for another. To her surprise, year after year, she dose not notice that Mr. Knightley has been playing an important trole in her life. In addition, once a persons love and need to be recognized, it naturally followed by an obligation. She also learned her feelings and her own things,

36、 the feelings in a high speed as an arrow to penetrate her heart. She believes that Mr. Knightley can not get married to other people, and he can marry to her only! At this time, her early remarks had been completely overturned. Eventually, Mr. Knightley and Emma walk to the marriage hall together.

37、Their ceremony was quite simple and plain, just like other people.1.2.2. Emmas cognition about the relationship between “status” and “love”When Emma meets uncertain original, simple-minded Harriet Smith the first time, she thinks: Her soft blue eyes and all her natural beauty should not be buried in

38、 the lower class of Hatfield. All of her acquaintances are not good enough to marry to her.3 She encourages Harriet to leave the plain and capable young farmers Mr. Martin to pursue a person with higher status called Elton. Harriet was insulted by Elton. Then, Emma brought Harriet to Frank Churchill

39、, and she hope both of them can get together. However, Frank has long been loved another lady. Until Emma has found Harriet falling in love with Mr Knightley, then she awarded how silly she has been. She suddenly awarded Mr Knightley can only become her own husband, and her disciples to become a com

40、petitor to win her own well-being.4 She was depressed that she put herself into an embarrassing situation.Emma tries to look for a good husband for Harriet. She has been taking this remark as her own responsibility. After she knew Harriet fell in love with Knightley, she extremely painful, because t

41、his will greatly enhance the value of Harriet, significantly reduce the capacity of Knightley. In peoples minds, his status will be reduced greatly! How you will laugh at him behind the scenes! This shows that living in the hierarchy society, Emma has understood the impact of social consciousness. W

42、hen she finds that she loves Knightley for a long time, and then she believed Knightley is the only man who should marry to her. Then, she is worthy of his identity and his manor. Emmas social awareness is close to the cognition of society gradually, and she slowly becomes common. She found herself

43、with the people she accused before has more and more common language, together with Knightley, she almost reached the ethical standards vertex. In short, Emma gave up her ignorant idea gradually and her moral become mature. She was finally accepted by Hatfield completely. It is a historical necessit

44、y. When Knightley engaged with her, the news spread in the village of Hatfield. The majority of people are pleased. It is because they come from the same class, the marriage is a perfect one. It complies with the arrangements for the class society.1.3. Emmas cognition about the meaning of life Emma

45、was full of vitality, courage and wisdom. She was lively, energetic, and likes to interfere with others, she face life actively. She not only notices her own well-being, but also likes to dominate the well-being of others. In reality, Emma was not able to achieve her own aims, and even make fun by r

46、eality. She makes mistake time and time again. For example, she looking for Mr. Right for Harriet, then she found mistakes has been making. She treats Martine and Bates rudely, and then Knightley tells her that she has done wrong things. After she suffered a lot, Emma realizes the real meaning of li

47、fe lies. After she introspected, as well as Knightley constantly lead, Emma gradually become mature, no longer do whatever she want, and learn how to keep calm. From arrogant to become ordinary, she and Knightleys wedding is as simple as common people, not ostentatious, but simple and plain, compared with Elton and his wif
