Abstract
This study discussess the character development of Emma in Jane Austen’s novel Emma, focusing on how Emma Woodhouse experiences changes and the internal and external factors that influence this development. At the beginning of the story, Emma is depicted as a confident but somewhatt arrogant young woman, and feels that she can control other people’s lives through her role as a matchmaker. However, as the story progresses, she experiences significant emotional and moral development. This study uses Abrams objective approach and Erik Erikson’s psychosocial development theory as the theoretical framework. The results of the analysis show that Emma’s character changes occur gradually through selfreflection, emotional awareness, and social interaction. Internal factors such as inner conflict, self-awareness, and identity searching play important roles in this process. Meanwhile, external factors such as the social environment and relationships with other characters such as Mr. Knightley, Harriet Smith, and Jane Fairfax also influence Emma’s character changes.
