Abstract

Many critics argue the theme of Emma is the view of marriage of Austen in early 19th century. However, the confined nature of women’s existence is another theme of this novel. This thesis mainly focuses on the analysis of confined nature of women’s existence from Feminism. In this paper, the main daily activities of the famine characters will be analyzed from feminist criticism. In this way, we can have an objective and all round understanding of this image under the male centered society.
