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.

Man, I tried reading Emma and I couldn't understand who was in love with love. It had too many characters and not to mention the beginning in quite boring.
However, based on what you said that middle gets really good. I'm glad you enjoyed it. =] I guess em and you have really different taste in books lol.
About the engagements, I think that;s good. I think only lucky people get to experience love.
Good job on your blog, can't wait to see which novel you pick next to read.

Good blog. From your blog, your books seems really interesting and has many well written events. Since I have to read a classic novel, I think that Emma would be a good choice.
Sounds interesting. I'm glad that Emma and Mr. Knightley get engaged in the end or else it would be a little...well it would suck =p. So do you like Jane Austen now?
