Thoughts on Emma, Part 1

I'm not very far in yet, but I've been enjoying Emma. It has this really light-hearted, semi-biographical tone that reminds me of Northanger Abbey - in a good way! I absolutely adore Mr. Woodhouse. He's just a lovable downer at times, an understandingly selfish yet overall benign personality. I can't wait for the shenanigans that will arise from his interactions with Emma.

Speaking of Emma, I'm not quite sure about her yet, but I do love her repartee with Mr. Knightley. It's, for lack of a better word, really cute - teasing without being cruel.
