Matthew “Matt” Kafker is a university student with several interests. Outside of his university studies, Matt Kafker is a fan of Jane Austen.
Looking at the structure and language used in the text, some have argued that Austen spends a lot of time in the novel focused on the abstract and not so much on the natural. Much of what is written in her books are related to the way characters feel or how they perceive others in the novel. In Emma, for example, adverbs are almost always used to impress upon the reader the extent to which a person feels about another. For example, “very cheerful,” “unworthy of distinguished honor,” and “very open temper” are words Emma uses to describe Frank Churchill. While the conversation is about the character, the reader understands how she feels about the person.
