        abstract = {This paper explores the adaptation of Jane Austen’s Emma in Autumn de Wilde’s 2020 film. While maintaining fidelity to Austen’s original text, the film updates certain elements to connect with contemporary audiences. By examining the portrayal of characters, narrative structure, and thematic changes, this study highlights how de Wilde’s adaptation honors the Regency-era novel while integrating modern sensibilities. Significant differences, such as the portrayal of Mr. Knightley, are discussed to illustrate how they reflect shifts in societal values and expectations. The choice to undertake this research stems from a fascination with how classic literature can be reinterpreted for today's viewers, balancing historical accuracy with contemporary relevance. Through a comparative analysis, the paper sheds light on how classic literature can be reinterpreted for today's viewers, preserving its core essence while adapting to new contexts.},
