3,566 words (approx. 14.3 pages) | 4 sources | APA | 2006 United States


Paper Summary:

This paper examines how Jane Austen appears to have enjoyed a revival in contemporary cinema and how her novel "Emma" has been adapted in two different ways - "Emma" the film and "Clueless". It discusses both films and the novel upon which they are based in order to draw parallels and to determine the nature of the works in their capacity as entertainment and art.

From the Paper:

"The film Emma was released in 1996, with Gwyneth Paltrow and Jeremy Northam in the starring roles. It is a romantic comedy about Emma Woodhouse, a 19th century woman who attempts to play the matchmaker for her friends. She has succeeded in this by having a hand in the marriage of her governess, Anne Weston, who is played by Greta Schacchi. Her next target is Harriet Smith played by Toni Collette. In this task Emma picks various men as possible candidates for Harriet. One is Mr. Elton and the other is Frank Churchill. They are however occupied by other loves in their lives. When the two fall for the same man Emma is forced to choose between friendship and love."
