Emma
How does the arrogance of believing our judgments are always right blind our vision?
📝ONGO's Reflection
Among Austen's works, I have felt a particular affection for Emma, a character who seems flawless yet stumbles without end. Her way of presuming to see straight through others' hearts and trying to control their lives may well be a shameful self-portrait of our own. The author depicts, with her singular sharp yet warm humor, the process by which a human being comes to recognize her intellectual vanity and arrives at genuine maturity. It is a charming novel that delightfully pricks at how dangerous reckless meddling can be in human relationships.
