Paper Summary:
This paper compares Jane Austen's "Emma Woodhouse" and Heckerling's"Clueless" film counterpart, Cher Horowitz. The writer explores the characters' paths to self-knowledge, how they learn from their mistakes, and how both the film and novel tackle the issues involved with class divisions. The film is loosely based on the classic novel.
From the Paper:
"The opening scenes of the movie and the first pages of the novel reveal a great deal about the characters and show their similarities from the start. Emma Woodhouse is a member of the rich, upscale society of a large village in nineteenth century England, while Cher Horowitz lives in a prominent, upscale home in Beverly Hills, California. In Highbury, the Woodhouses are "first in consequence there. All looked up to them (Austen, p. 7)." Cher's father's success as a litigation lawyer has brought them wealth and status in Beverley Hills."More papers on "Emma" and "Clueless":
