霍華德．迦納在其著名的「多元智能論」（簡稱MI理論）中提到，每個人都擁有多元的潛力與智能，透過教育即在發掘，並引領其心智能力發展，培育問題解決的能力，而這也是珍．奧斯汀在創造小說人物時的主要精神。由於《愛瑪》和《勸導》的寫作時間相近，作品風格也異於奧斯汀的其他四本小說，因此，以多元智能論為出發點，本論文旨在探討這兩部作品中，奧斯汀如何塑造女主角，如何依其性格發揮多元智能以追求幸福，使她們得以展現自身特有的心智能力，解決成長歷程中所碰到的種種問題。
為此，本論文的主要研究方法，在於分析愛瑪．伍德豪斯和安．艾略特這兩位女主角的多元智能，其順序為語言、邏輯-數學、視覺-空間、肢體-動覺、音樂、人際、內省與自然智能，進而以書中場景，說明其如何展現問題解決的能力。文中還將討論書中次要人物的重要性，說明在女主角的成長過程中，他們扮演的是幫助或阻礙的角色。
本論文包含四個章節，第一章闡述評論家對奧斯汀作品中，女主角成長的一般看法。第二章及第三章分別討論愛瑪．伍德豪斯和安．艾略特，說明她們如何以多元智能，解決所面對的難題。之後，依這八種智能，討論這兩部作品中，奧斯汀對於自我成長看法的變化，以為本篇論文的總結。

As Howard Gardner, who is best known for his theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI theory) points out, individuals can use their intelligences to solve problems, so do Jane Austen''s heroines. In addition to the time sequence of publication, there is a change of writing style in Emma and Persuasion while they also differ from Austen''s previous four novels. Then, Emma and Persuasion are the major texts I am going to study in this thesis. Through analyzing the text by MI theory, my thesis proposes to study how Austen creates characters and designs appropriate ways for them to pursue their happiness by the use of multiple intelligences. I argue that their education toward maturity goes forward by solving problems with their intellectual competences in distinctive ways.
Because of this, the analysis of the multiple intelligences of Emma Woodhouse and Anne Elliot will be the major method of approaching their problem-solving ability. Each one''s intelligences will be discussed in the following order: linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist. Together with this, I will present the importance of some characters who stand for hindering or helping the heroine undergo the learning process.
The First Chapter presents various critics'' thinking on the idea of education in Austen''s works. In Chapter Two on Emma, there are seven major problems waiting for Emma to overcome. Most of them relate to her relationships with other characters, such as Harriet Smith, Mr. Elton, Jane Fairfax, Miss Bates, Frank Churchill, Mr. Knightley, and herself. Chapter Three mainly deals with Anne in Persuasion. With her multiple intelligences, Anne''s main task is to solve two problems: awakening her emotions and deciding who her true love is. In the last chapter, the detailed comparison between Emma and Anne in terms of the eight intelligences concludes this study.
