Focusing upon the female characters’ relationships in Jane Austen’s Emma especially centering around Emma Woodhouse, this essays examines the novel as a text showing the female protagonist’s superiority complex to maintain her leadership in the society to which she belongs. This essay shows different kinds of anxieties and tension Emma undergoes and how she responds to each of them. Emma’s self-defensive acts and self-justification are examined by scrutinizing manners among the major female characters. By looking closely into three major conflicts happening in the novel, the ones between Emma and other female characters (Jane Fairfax, Mrs. Elton, and Harriet Smith), this essay argues that, at the end of the novel, Emma does not correct her vanity, self-justification, or self-delusion, but manipulates others and justifies herself for the sake of maintaining her selfish identity.
Even though the novel uses a match-making plot as its foreground, what Austen really wants to express through the female protagonist is to show the masculine aspect and anxiety in Emma Woodhouse, which is expressed in her endeavor to keep dominant power/position in her society. Furthermore, through this novel, the author shows multitude of manners involved in power struggles and tension between female characters so as to show how they make use of manners to gain the lead in the society.
