| Emma | comment |
Despite not having Pride and Prejudice-level popularity, Emma has inspired not one or two, but five straight adaptations currently available, and quite a few slant ones. These adaptations tend to provoke rather violent flame wars, though it seems to have calmed down a bit since the 2009 miniseries was made. | |

The Confidant | |
| Emma / int_15aa2b3c | comment |
The Confidant: In this movie, Emma tells Mrs Weston almost everything and often asks her for advice. In the book, she's more independent. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| Emma / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: As a result of the above, Churchill's treatment of Jane is shown as more callous than it was in the book, and it's implied that he's going to keep on flirting after he's married in the complete confidence that his wife will always forgive him, making poor Jane's life miserable. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
| Emma / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: Though ostensibly faithful to the novel, the writer actually expanded many things - from Emma's early prattle making her seem almost like a Miss Bates wannabe, to Mr. Elton's reading to Emma and Harriet during the portrait painting (mentioned but not shown in the novel). Interestingly, the strawberry picking at Donwell and the outing to Box Hill are combined into one day, though each is again stretched by the writer. | |

Adaptation Distillation | |
| Emma / int_5a40d6a | comment |
Adaptation Distillation: Though Emma is the second longest Austen novel and this telefilm is only an hour and 47 minutes long, Andrew Davies does a great job at keeping nearly all the relevant dialogue, scenes, and events. The resultant film is very faithful in event and general tone, but much, much faster paced. A few integrations of filmic techniques are seen in the use of Emma's imaginations being visualized, and the ending shades into Pragmatic Adaptation with the combination of events into a Harvest Festival. | |

Nightmare Sequence: In a counterpart to her dreams, Emma's worst fears also play out in her dreams when Mr. Knightley marries first Jane Fairfax, then Harriet Smith, demonstrating Emma's growing awareness of her own feelings. | |

Pragmatic Adaptation | |
| Emma / int_603f1a80 | comment |
Pragmatic Adaptation: Several devices are used to make the film more cinematic, such as the beautiful opening with the spinning model globe. Additionally, the Harriet plot is emphasized to the near-exclusion of the Frank Churchill sections. Various elements such as the archery scene, the diaries, and the conversations with Mrs. Weston also indicate the choices deemed necessary to translate the story. | |

Dream Sequence: Emma's daydreams and matchmaking scenarios often appear via this device - usually with hilariously over-the-top dream music, flower petals, slow motion, and first person point of view. | |

Relationship Compression | |
| Emma / int_6357d489 | comment |
Relationship Compression: Because of the expansion of the Harriet sections, the Frank/Jane relationship is almost relegated to an afterthought - most of it happens completely offscreen, and some of Jane's actions are even given to other characters such as Miss Bates. | |

Author Appeal | |
| Emma / int_6627695f | comment |
Author Appeal: Screenwriter Andrew Davies tends to alter or adapt one older male character in his screenplays to a recognizable type of friendly, sociable, homebody fellow - in Emma, it's Mr. Weston, who in the novel is something of a clueless social butterfly, but here pipes in with a few words on the joys of marriage and home life. | |

Adaptational Angst Upgrade | |
| Emma / int_730d3664 | comment |
Adaptational Angst Upgrade: Though not directly spelled out in the telefilm, Andrew Davies gave a version of this to Frank Churchill. Instead of the somewhat careless charmer of the novel, Davies believes that Frank is a sociopath who hates women as a result of his mother's death (viewed as abandonment) and his aunt's controlling personality. | |

| Emma / int_a3c0c1df | comment |
Dance Party Ending: Regency country dancing variant. The film ends with everyone dancing at the harvest feast at Donwell Abbey. The upper-class, tenants, servants, all socializing together. The Eltons don't approve. | |

Adaptation Dye-Job | |
| Emma / int_a4414a05 | comment |
Adaptation Dye-Job: In the novel, Emma, in a rare physical description by Jane Austen, has "the true hazel eye". Gwyneth Paltrow, on the other hand, has definitely blue eyes, which were highlighted in promotional materials (such as the CD score cover). | |

Genki Girl | |
| Emma / int_b2f26025 | comment |
Genki Girl: Though not as pronounced as Romola Garai's 2009 Emma, Kate Beckinsale's Emma is described in the screenplay as possessing bouncing arrogance and energy. Additionally, when she thinks her scheme between Harriet and Mr. Elton is succeeding, she gives a very cheerful bounce as she walks towards her house. | |

What the Hell, Hero?: Emma's insult to Miss Bates, which shocks the entire outing party to speechlessness. Mr. Knightley rebukes her for this, saying severely, "That was badly done, Emma. Badly done!", reducing her to tears. | |

Younger and Hipper | |
| Emma / int_d80a8085 | comment |
Younger and Hipper: Jeremy Northam was only a few years younger than Mr. Knightley, but partly due to Gwyneth Paltrow's height, he was often perceived as "exactly the same age as Emma" (to quote Anthony Lane of The New Yorker). | |

Empathic Environment: As in the novel, Emma's Lost Love Montage occurs during a very appropriate rainstorm, which leads to a powerful scene of Emma looking out a window, the light falling through the windows showing how the rain parallels Emma's tears. | |
