So I spoke to a friend who is also an English. She concurred that Emma in fact is a written form of a Chick Flix, but that Austen is making a statement about the British society's requirement that woman marry, hence Emma's need to match people. It gives me a different lens and a basis of understanding. This is still not my favorite book in the genre, but I do public redact calling the piece frivolous.
