Emma Woodhouse è una ventunenne che non intende sposarsi, consapevole che il matrimonio sia per lei del tutto inutile (vista la situazione già così felice) e consapevole che, in virtù della sua posizione sociale, non diventerà mai una povera zitella, ma sarà sempre una donna ricca di fascino e interessi.

W rzeczywistości być może nie rozumie nawet własnych uczuć – zwłaszcza wobec pewnego dżentelmena.
