Character Development - Frank Churchill and Christian
Frank Churchill's name was mentioned early on in the novel;
however his character did arrive until mid story. He was the
son of Mr. Weston, the main married to Emma's ex-governess and
best friend, Ms. Taylor. He was an attractive, rich, confident
man who was said to be the male version Emma. Throughout the
novel, Emma Woodhouse was convinced that he was in love with
her, however; the reader soon realized that she could not have
been more wrong, he was secretly engaged to a poor, beautiful
orphan by the name of Jane Fairfax and his affections and the
attention towards Emma were a cover to hide his engagement.
The character of Christian
in Clueless was the modernized version of Frank Churchill. Christian
arrived during the middle of the film and as a new student at
Beverly Hills High. Cher instantly was drawn to Christian, he
was cute, charismatic and she loved the challenge for his attention.
What Cher did not know, was that Christian was gay. Like always,
she assumed that because he was nice to her and they got along
well, he was madly in love with her. Eventually Cher realized
his sexual orientation and the two remained close friends.
