I really detest Emma. She is inappropriate and immature. All that matters to Emma is how others behave and how others actions pertain to her. Emma’s top concern in her life is her lifestyle, the manners of the people around her, and the love concerns of other people. Emma is the Gossip Queen of the town. She is the busy body of the upper class and is solely concerned with being in the middle of everyone else’s business.
I’m really not sure how this work qualifies as Romantic literature beyond the fact that it was written during the era. It seems to me to be much more modernist in the explanations for why people end up in the situations they do; I think it tends to be slightly more realistic, except maybe romanticizing upper class society.
One way this work is important is in its depiction of upper class society and how even upper class society has its divisions.
