Comic Novel
Emma is a comic novel that yet makes a serious point about self-knowledge and its sometimes painful acquisition. How does this relate to the film? How seriously does the film take itself? Focus on the comedic aspect. How does the humor work. Select a speech by one of the characters and cite it within the book and break it down. Sources Jane Austen, Emma. 1816. Ed. James Kinsley.

Outside sources are by no means forbidden, but you could write a good paper entirely using your own thoughts and reactions. Use your own words. We will know if you use an article and go off of that.
