Harriet reveals who she's in love with and Emma realizes something important about herself....that's right, Emma loves KNIGHTLEY! Plus, we get a bit of Jane's side of the story. Topics discussed include Emma being a lady himbo, the devastating end (???) of Robert Martin, the possibility that Jane Austen invented shipping, and Emma's Ben and Jerry's playlist.
Study questions: Topics discussed include the comparison between Jane and Harriet, Knightley's feelings about Harriet, Harriet and Emma's friendship, Emma's feelings for Knightley, and Jane Austen's feelings about all of it.
Funniest quote: "Mr. Weston had thought differently; he was extremely anxious to shew his approbation to Miss Fairfax and her family, and did not conceive that any suspicion could be excited by it; or if it were, that it would be of any consequence; for “such things,” he observed, “always got about.” Emma smiled, and felt that Mr. Weston had very good reason for saying so."
Questions moving forward: Does Mr. Knightley love Harriet? Does he love Emma? Frank and Jane...why?
Who wins the chapters? Jane Fairfax!
