One of the major differences in the film is that the two Mr. Knightleys (John and George) are not thoroughly............When filming, sound as well as subject can be manipulated in many different ways. It captures what characters look like as well as their facial expressions. Facial expressions and appearance play a bigger part during the movie. Also, the music in the background of the movie helps dramatize or romanticize certain parts of the film.

One aspect of the movie that I feel holds true to the novel is the Coles Party. There are some differences, but I felt that they are minor changes. There is also a lot more visual presentation of Mr. Knightley's obvious affection with Emma. We don't see this clearly in the nove

Another major difference in the movie is the relationship between Emma and Jane Fairfax. In the novel, Emma's jealously and fierce dislike of Jane is made extremely obvious. Jane is the first person introduced that is equal to Emma in age, beauty and future inheritance. The novel implies that Jane could also be Emma's superior!

Also, in the movie Mr. Knightley's feelings for Emma is made a lot more obvious through facial expression. Whereas, in the novel we don't see as much of it. One example is when he kisses Emma's hand in the movie. In the novel, he chooses to let go of her hand the next second. This major difference could be interpreted in different ways. Some say it doesn't change the storyline and some say that this is a very obvious hint about his love for her.

In the movie, we can see Frank sitting next to Jane and Miss Bates. In fact, Frank was practically lying down next to Jane at Box Hill. In the novel, it is mentioned that he was sitting across from Jane and next to Emma.

The Box Hill scene in the movie is also another major difference. In the novel, the party at Donwell happens before their picnic at Box Hill. However, in the movie Donwell and Box Hill are combined into a one day trip. Also in the movie, Jane doesn't "get back at Frank" after he comments on the Weston's. This was probably left out because there is no "outrageous" flirting between Frank and Emma in the movie.

Going back to Mr. Knightley, if the novel was written in his point of view things would have been different. Then we would have a better idea of what he felt from the beginning. However, his "feelings" for Emma are humorously hinted at in the movie. Another major change that I found was the overall appearance of Mr. Knightley. In the novel, he is said to be 16 years older than Emma, which would make him about 37-38. It is only mentioned briefly in the movie.

Another interesting difference at Box Hill has to do with Agusta Elton. In both the novel and the Book Emma insults Miss Bates about her constant jabbering. And
