ROMOLA GARAI as Emma Woodhouse

ROMOLA GARAI as EMMA WOODHOUSE

Upon the whole, however, I am quite vain enough and well satisfied enough. The work is rather too light, and bright, and sparkling; it wants shade; it wants to be stretched out here and there with a long chapter of sense, if it could be had; if not, of solemn specious nonsense, about something unconnected with the story; an essay on writing, a critique on Walter Scott, or the history of Buonaparte, or anything that would form a contrast, and bring the reader with increased delight to the playfulness and epigrammatism of the general style.

The Dashwood Sisters

‘Marianne could not bear this.—She was already greatly displeased with Mrs. Ferrars; and such ill-timed praise of another, at Elinor's expense, though she had not any notion of what was principally meant by it, provoked her immediately to say with warmth,  "This is admiration of a very particular kind!—what is Miss Morton to us?—who knows, or who cares, for her?—it is Elinor of whom WE think and speak."  And so saying, she took the screens out of her sister-in-law's hands, to admire them herself as they ought to be admired.’

Jane Bennet

“You are very cruel,” said her sister, “you will not let me smile, and are provoking me to it every moment.”
