Emma

by Jane Austen

A young woman with entirely too much time and confidence appoints herself matchmaker to her whole village, and is wrong about nearly everyone including herself. Austen called her a heroine no one but herself would much like, and then made certain everyone did anyway. Watch how long it takes her to notice what has been obvious to the reader for chapters.
