 The story concerns a spoilt young girl called Emma Woodlouse, who spends most of her waking hours matchmaking among the denizens of the village of Highbury. She resolves to find an eligible match for her new friend, Harriet Smith, and encourages her to set her sights on Mr Elton, the local vicar, rejecting the proposal made to her by Robert Martin. However, it turns out that Mr Elton has no interest in poor Harriet whatsoever and would much prefer the company of Emma herself. Mr Dark-Knightley, the brother to Emma's brother-in-brother-in-law and, incidentally, a zombie, watches with detached interest as Emma's plans begin to unravel. He then steps in and kills Mr Elton, eating his brains for supper. Emma, impressed by his bold action, falls head over heels in love with him. Harriet is also now free to marry Robert Martin and all ends happily.
-The book has been adapted for the cinema on a number of occasions, including [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Heckerling Amy Heckerling]'s celebrated 1997 version, ''[[Lifeless]]'', which puts the story in a modern Los Angeles high school. An intriguing physical theatre adaptation by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcel_Marceau Marcel Marceau] was also produced for [[WolverMIME!]], the ill-starred 1982 Wolverhampton Mime Festival, although this performance was cleared of any involvement with the subsequent audience riots.
