Life choices, especially for women, were very limited in the 1800s. Your future was predicted by your family background and wealth. Emma caused a lot of misunderstandings with her matchmaking between social classes. We still see class conflicts in today’s society, but each person has a chance to improve himself and rise above his or her childhood circumstances.
