The aim of this essay is to reflect on and investigate the role of Emma’s self, the relationship between “deception and self-perception” (qtd. in Lambdin, Cooner 100) as a consequence of an “I” that demands to govern everything, although it is a deceptive “I” since it will undergo the influence of her wide imagination. Not surprisingly, the working out of the heroine’s intentions and the manipulation of the different situations belong to Austen’s ability to portray a heroine who attempts to persuade her interlocutors.

Abstract
The aim of this essay is to reflect on and investigate the role of Emma’s self, the relationship between “deception and self-perception” (qtd. in Lambdin, Cooner 100) as a consequence of an “I” that demands to govern everything, although it is a deceptive “I” since it will undergo the influence of her wide imagination. Not surprisingly, the working out of the heroine’s intentions and the manipulation of the different situations belong to Austen’s ability to portray a heroine who attempts to persuade her interlocutors.File in questo prodotto:
