The psychological effect of colorism drew Emma to cover her black identity from the judging eyes of society, instead of solving the original problem which was revealed to Emma at the end of the novel; her incapability to accept her true dark-skinned self. When Emma was in college, she gave up pursuing her education because she was uncomfortable with the environment. She was not able to be friends with the mulattos in the campus, because they all saw her as a black girl. Emma however refused to see herself as a black woman, and decided to remove herself from a situation that made her feel uncomfortable. Despite the disruption in education, Emma’s ambition helped her become a public school teacher which made her part the middle-class. She believed money would help her achieve happiness, and when that did not prove to be true, she decided to look deeper into the situation.

Cher has everything a young lady dreamed off: money and a huge wardrobe (Clueless 1:00-1:30). However, both Emma and Cher shares the same situation where both mothers passed away. Emma and Cher's lack of maternal figure resulted from them to think highly of themselves. Emma's arrogance can be seen when she brags about being successful in matching couples. Emma believes that she has control over fate and must play matchmaker in order for couples to discover true love. Austen states that "The real evils indeed of Emma's situation were the power of having rather too much her own way, and a disposition to think a little well too of herself" (Austen 5). Emma and Cher seemed to have endless power and wealth, in which they acquire the idea that they are the perfect model for everyone in the

“Education was her dream of dreams, a passion so strong it was almost a disease, and she infected not only her own children with it but generations of little Morrisons yet unborn” (23). Kate, raised in such a family, naturally considers being intelligent and having education as a symbol of success in life. After receiving her university degrees, Kate realizes that Great-Grandmother’s desire for knowledge is not without reason: “the world was spreading itself out before me; I felt that I could go anywhere, do anything. Be anyone” (188). From Kate’s perspective, no obstacle can obstruct her ambitions from this point onward since success in attaining education is the ultimate goal in life, as believed by the Morrisons. Kate’s faith in education, inherited from Great-Grandmother, is also the major reason behind her admiration for Matt – he is the most brilliant of all four children and resembles Great-Grandmother the most. “It seemed to me that the only time those fierce old eyes showed any sign of softening was when Matt walked into the room.” (27) Kate
