Anya Taylor-Joy’s Views on Emma

The movie involves a lot of drama and in an interview, Anya Taylor-Joy tells us that Emma as a character taught her a lot about humility, being kind with people, and to yourself. She even said that: ‘’I wanted to stay very, very true to the fact that Austen herself said she had written a character that only herself would much like. I really wanted to play Emma that way. I didn’t want to make her easily likable. She has a good heart—but she’s snobby. And she’s a bit of a brat. And very arrogant. And often wrong’’.
