Fact: Amy Heckerling’s 1995 teen comedy Clueless cleverly reimagines Jane Austen’s 1815 novel Emma within the world of a modern Beverly Hills high school. Alicia Silverstone stars as Cher Horowitz, a seemingly superficial yet well-meaning teenager who, much like Austen’s Emma Woodhouse, takes it upon herself to play matchmaker among her friends—with often comic results. Both characters share striking similarities, from their privileged upbringings and social influence to the absence of their mothers, even though they exist in vastly different eras.
Correct Answer: Clueless
