Hi! I love your Austen analyses, and I particularly like to read ones about Emma, which is my favorite of her works. I know how you feel about some of the adaptations, and I'm curious about your opinion about the newest Emma adaptation (2020) starring Anya Taylor-Joy and Johnny Flynn? I read some of the interviews for the film and it sounds wonderful tbh since the actress said that her Emma is going to be a little unlikable.
I replied:
Thank you! The reviews seem good, so I’m looking forward to seeing it, but otherwise, I don’t have much of an opinion. I do think it’s important that Emma is allowed to be unlikable (to many) at points—as Austen herself was perfectly conscious of! So … *fingers crossed*
