Emma

The highlight of this week was watching "Emma". At the beginning of the musical, Emma kept persuading her friend Ms. Smith to marry a wealthy man. When it comes down to her own marriage, she thought that Mr. Churchill was a perfect match for her before they met each other. She "loved" Mr. Churchill because he was handsome, charming and wealthy. This reminds me of fairy tales. Romantic stories always give us the idea that everyone would find a soul mate. Not only is he a perfect match, he himself is perfect. But in reality, no one is perfect. Each of us is just a half of a circle, and we need to find the other half and make a perfect circle together. Just like in this musical, Emma realized that her true love is by her side all the time. Even though Mr. Knightley always argues with her and he gets jealous easily, Emma fell in love with him. I really enjoyed the play, especially the ending. It tells us that love has nothing to do with appearance, social status or wealth, it is a feeling from our heart instead.
