Emma- The End

In the final few chapters of Emma, by Jane Austen, there is at least three engagements. Two out of the three engagements were unexpected but surprisingly, the most suspected and anticipated one was between Emma Woodhouse and Mr. George Knightely. At first, Mr. Woodhouse didn't want Emma to marry Mr. Knightley because he thought it would diminish his happiness, but after someone broke into the neighboors house, he thought it would be nice to have Mr. Knightley arround. One might say that Emma has developed from the beginning of the book to the end but others argue that she has actually stepped down a bit. The reason why some say this is because instead of marring someone equal to her, she married a father figure.
