other inBridgertonseason 3,Eloise reveals that she ’s readingEmmaby Jane Austen . It ’s an interesting parallel toBridgerton ’s world , because of the setting , the romantic leaning , and the character dynamics as Emma herself attempts to act societal manipulator . The divergence , of grade , is that Emma is oblivious to her deficiency of office , whileBridgerton ’s influencers ( like Lady Whistledown , the Queen and Lady Danbury ) mostly dictate the game undisputed .

Clueless is a 1995 comedy film that follows Cher Horowitz , a wealthy and pop high shoal student in Beverly Hills , who navigate adolescence while matchmaking booster and discover her own feelings . The film offers a modern version of Jane Austen ’s refreshing Emma , set in a contemporary American high-pitched school .

While Whistledown is efficaciously Cher ( Alicia Silverstone),Penelope isBridgerton ’s solvent to Brittany Murphy ’s Tai , performing to social outlook to “ win ” her romantic target , but entirely unequipped . Penelope is forced to lean on Colin ’s lessons to navigate high beau monde and observe herself a husband , just as Tai needs Cher and Dionne ( Stacey Dash ) to fit out in . Both are clueless , but end up accidentally “ winning ” by being true to themselves .

There ’s even a similarity in how Cher herself ends up falling in sexual love with her sort of blood brother Josh ( Paul Rudd ) in Colin ’s fruition that he is in love with Penelope . That was the subtle hint in Bridgerton reference Emma so too soon . We should have seen it .

Eloise ’s choice to readEmmais far from accidental , of course . Austen ’s classic is a comment on societal pecking order and prerogative , just asBridgertonis . Both tarradiddle also gainsay the purportedly satisfactory theatrical role of woman .

On top of that , there is something wonderful in imagining Colin as a standpoint - in for Cher . Both come from a position of perquisite and attempt to take on an distant location that puts them just outside of smart set , while also benefitting from it . Both wear masks , are altogether desirable , but make themselves consciously unavailable . And it ’s only through actualise what ’s right in front of them that their barriers are give way down and they discover their happiness .

While you could take the connection as an opportunity to look on either of the two most recent ( and both excellent ) adaptations ofEmma , Cluelessremains the most rewarding . Tai is a more entertaining take on Austen ’s original character of Harriet Smith , and the unspoken societal contract of Beverly Hills high school feels oddly more fitting as a parallel to Regency England .
