Emma (nem.)
Etwas wollen, aber dann doch etwas anderes sagen - was also tun? Emma Woodhouse weiß genau, was andere wollen. Ohne jemals danach gefragt zu haben. Die Komödie, die sich daraus entspinnt, ist nicht nur ein amüsantes Porträt der englischen Gesellschaft im 19. Jahrhundert. Bis heute hat, was Emma glanzvoll demonstriert, das Chaos des Begehrens, bei dem man sich am liebsten selbst im Weg steht, nichts an Kraft verloren.
