Paper Summary:

This paper at the way in which Jane Austen's novel "Emma" explores how imagination and realistic reasoning are fundamental human elements, but that the individual needs to find an equilibrium between the two extremes in order to be balanced and mature.

From the Paper:

"The plot is moved along by the folly and repentance of Emma. The lives of Emma and the other characters fall into complications because of the errors, misunderstandings, and cross purposes that result from Emma's imagined perceptions of reality. She is eventually rescued by the kindness of Fortune and at last, she learns to balance her dual nature of imagination and reason. "
