Les aventures de Don Quichotte de la Manche décrivent un héros tour à tour comique, touchant, rêveur, fabuleux et courageux, qui est devenu aujourd'hui un véritable archétype littéraire.

Al contrario, es una joven «inteligente, bella y rica», que no aspira al matrimonio y que rige como por derecho natural los destinos de la pequeña comunidad de Highbury. Emma (1816) es una fulgurante comedia de equívocos, llena de ocultaciones, intrigas y errores que muchas veces inspiran vergüenza ajena, pero en la que el sentido del ridículo sirve como vehículo para el acierto y la sensatez.
