Session 4: Jane Austen for Our Times: A Test of Characters
1h 1m
Evelyne Ender – Senior Lecturer in the Department of Comparative Thought and Literature – explores how the 2020 film adaptation of EMMA raises to a new pitch the blend of feelings, well-meaning intentions, gossip, and secrecy that propels Emma towards a fatal realization, namely, that there are limits to her “heroism of sentiment” and that she is blind to her own feelings.
