emma be my favourite jane austen novel emma be well mean despite her flaw and so reader can forgive and love her and and the relationship she have with mr knightley and which be warm and familiar and respectful but playful and generate that warm and fuzzy and romantic excitement . mr knightley be the perfect man and and emma be as close a you could get in those time to an independent and clever and confident woman remember and she be only 21 and and be sure to have mature and grow out of her flaw . who doesn not want to be emma . who doesn not want to be tell off by mr knightley . this version of emma give you no sense of the thing that i love about emma . i couldn not even finish watch it and i just find it so awful . i couldn not see that warm and generous side of emma and which drive the reader to love her represent the patience and warmth she show to her father while the closeness between her and mrs weston and which demonstrate her willingness to put her friend happiness above her own ( a she sacrifice the only equal companion in her household by forward miss taylor marriage ) . mr woodhouse character in this adaptation just appear bizarre and rather than just quaint and elderly and a bit try . this adaptation most importantly fail bring to life the relationship between mr knightley and emma . their relationship be build on mutual respect and affection represent mr knightley be indulgent of emma minor fault trust that her intelligence and genuine care for others will never allow her to go terribly astray while and emma look up to him and though playfully hide this and continue to use her own judgement . the dress down he give her right at the beginning of the show completely overstate the argument between them and and ruin all possibility of portray the nature of their relationship a i have describe above . mr knightley be also insufficiently attractive to bring to life the sexual tension between the lead ( or to inspire any admiration from the female viewer ) . really horrible . i can not understand why anyone who truly like the novel emma could like it and unless it miraculously redeem itself after the point i switch it off .
