Fancying herself a matchmaker, Emma insinuates herself into others' lives, mostly ignorant of the risks. When her headstrong nature causes hurt to others, she is corrected by the older, down-to-earth Mr. Knightley. After weaving herself unwittingly into a number of love triangles, Emma is forced to confront her feelings for her only critic.
