I read the first two chapters of Emma by Jane Austen. This book starts out with the main character Emma living with her widowed father. She claims she has a certain gift, playing matchmaker. Just recently Emma introduces Mr. Weston and Miss Taylor to each other. Not shortly after Mr. Weston and Miss Taylor got married.
Emma uses her looks to attract attention from men, but she has started to feel lonely lately. The only one she feels close to her father and he has started to become sort of an annoyance, although she loves him dearly. George has always been around for her but she still feels lonely.
I believe in future chapters she will continue to play matchmaker and have relationships that work out in the beginning. Then I feel that she is going to wish she had a significant other for herself and everything will start to go down hill. I think she will find that significant other in the place she least expected it, right in front of her.
