    On the other hand, Hermione’s character blossoms beautifully. It is agreeable that her character does not match one’s typical mythic hero and does not completely follow the “hero’s journey” that defines a hero. Hermione’s origin is nothing special; she is seen growing up in a very loving and supportive family. This is completely opposite to Harry’s tragic childhood. Although, she isn’t magically gifted like Harry, who can command a broomstick to land in the palm of his hand at ease, Hermione has an unwavering desire and commitment to learn, hence the reason why she is so ridiculously smart.

    Emma also transforms into a proper woman through correcting her original neglect. Trollope states that “[i]n every passage of the book she is in fault for some folly, some vanity, some ignorance, or indeed for some meanness” (7)19. Because of her ignorance toward attitudes of her neighbors, Emma interferes through their lives in a way that makes them unhappy, for “she had often been negligent” (Austen 359)20. Mr. Knightley predicts the outcome of Emma’s plans in the beginning of the novel when he states that “[y]ou are more likely to have done harm to yourself, than good to them by interference” (Austen 8)21 and also that “[v]anity working on a weak head produces every sort of mischief” (Austen 53)22. Not only is Emma stubborn toward her actions, but she is also negligent to herself when she convinces herself “I cannot really change for the better” (Austen 73)23. On other matters about her plans for others, Emma’s consideration falls short through her own selfishness and withholding of her pride, for “[t]he longer she considered it, the greater was her sense of its expediency” (Austen 27)24.
