Chapter 4:
1. What i make of the fact that Emma is seen sewing up during the days and unraveling it at night is that she is extremely bored about everything in her life. She finds herself falling for leon also.
2. Everyeone's reaction to this is that both emma and leon must be lovers because when it states " Why did the doctor's wife give the clerk presents? It looked queer." Madame Homais, Monsieur Homais, just and the children it gave the apperance that they were lovers.
3. Emma had a believe that "love had to come suddenly with a great clap of thunder and a lightening flash that fall upon your life and that it must scatter your ideals like leaves and hurls your every soul into the abyss". What i make of the metaphor is that she would not have feelings for leon and she would have been loyal to her husband if she felt that there was a chance that he could change.

Chapter 5:
1. Emma see Charles as an stupid irrattaing boring person while on the other hand she looks about Leon in the matter of talking about his young figure along with his nice hair and nice blue eyes.
2. What makes Leon give up hope is when Charles comes home and he see the bigger picture that that is his wife and family and that he really can not have emma because she is charles women. Leon looks at charles and Emma marriage as really boring as the fact that they are totally the oppsite of each other. He looks at charles as a very borning person while on the other hand see's emma as an adventures person that like to go out and dance and read novels and enjoy the finer things in life.
3. Emma to the other people around her seem to be just doing fine. They really amired "her thrift and the patients admired her manners and the poor her willingness to give." They looked at her as a perfect wife with alot of talent. But on the inside she is filled with lust,rage and hatred towards her life in general.
4. I personally feel as if was the right thing to do

    Parallels are drawn between the values and attitudes of post-modern and regency society in Emma 's carriage incident and Clueless ' car scene. In Emma, Mr Elton displays complete disgust and outrage at the notion of marrying the socially inferior Harriet, exclaiming 'Good heaven! What can be the meaning of this? ' This segregation and incompatibility of differing social classes is also portrayed in Clueless through Elton 's outburst of 'Don 't you even know who my father is? ' revealing the transcending importance of family background and social connections, and the superficiality within both societies.…

    At the beginning of this section, fall is here and winter is around the corner and things are being put into motion. Fall is a time of foreshadowing and the winter is a time for the cold or sorrow. In this quote Emma and Rodolphe are at the fair and having a nice conversation. Rodolphe says that he has feelings for her and he knows that she is falling for him hard and keeps falling with every word he says during their conversation.

    "The real evils indeed of Emma's situation were the power of rather having too much her own way, and a disposition to think a little too well of herself; […]." This arrogance can be seen by her matchmaking attempts. It was Emma who set up the marriage between her governess Ms. Taylor and Mr. Weston. The corresponding characters in the movie Clueless are two teachers of Cher – Mr. Hall and Ms. Geist. The sequence of events, however, does not correspond to the novel. Mr. Hall and Ms. Geist only marry at the end of the…

    Emma and Clueless

    The main characters, Emma and Cher are representational products of their society and parallels can be drawn in the opening scenes, particularly in relation to self-knowledge. The Bildungsroman progression from delusion to social awareness is a universal value in both texts despite their differing contexts. Emma is introduced as “handsome, clever, and rich” who had “a disposition to think a little too well of herself.” Austen’s satirical tone as the omniscient narrator alerts the responder to Emma’s inability to understand her position in society. Furthermore, while Emma successfully matches Mr. Weston and Ms. Taylor, her motives are superficial as she sees it as “the greatest amusement in the world!” She also believes Harriet’s beauty “should not be wasted on the inferior society”, and it would be “interesting and highly becoming” to “improve her”. Austen employs verbal irony through Emma’s dialogue, which exposes her flaws of arrogance and shallowness. However, Emma eventually develops self awareness as shown when she realizes her mistake of matching Harriet with Mr. Elton and influencing her to refuse a suitable marriage with Mr. Martin.…

    * Manipulating reality to suit perception of it * Resulting self-deception, confusion, misunderstanding * Dramatic irony empowering us to see through human flaws and social failings of Emma. This often has unexpected results:-Mr Elton’s proposal “she could have been so deceived...she supposed, and made everything bend to it.”-Frank Churchill is flirty and appears to society to be interested in Emma but in fact secretly making visits to the Bates to visit Jane. Also at Coles dinner party Chapter 26, Frank asks Emma for a dance, and admits he’s glad dancing didn’t go on for much logner or else he would have to ask Jane. This appears to be Frank disinterested in Jane and interested in emma to everyone, as dancing is a sign of affection, but isn’t true.-At the Crown Inn Ball, clues are given to see that Frank is interested in Jane when he rushes out to help her and Miss Bates when they arrive late, and restless to see who has arrived the whole night.- when Elton appears to be interested in Harriet with the painting but in fact is courting Emmaseen through Emma’s account, however, reader’s views are tainted because she’s blinded by the truth and her perceptions of what is right * [Austen’s observations are limited by her experience of the world. This parallels with Emma???-->author’s influence on protagonist or conveying her message through protagonist?] * Blind from truth especially in scene with Mr Elton when she misreads the signs when he offers to deliver the portrait to London for framing, and thinks that he likes the painting of Harriet * Scene where ‘Mr Elton makes violent love to her’-use of exaggeration * Dinner at randalls where Mr Elton’s forced company on Emma and courting her shows his interest, which Emma overlooks even after Mr…

    The relationship between Sara and Miranda is obsessive but loving, with Sara having a unhealthy co-dependance on Miranda. Sara’s loving looks thrown to Miranda, how she adoringly listens to Miranda’s words like gospel, and how dedicates the majority of her time to Miranda. The same sentiment is shown as Sara builds a shrine to Miranda with her pictures and belongings, and writes a poem for her on valentines day. Sara and Mrs Appleyard have quiet the opposite relationship though filled with a more undoubtably obvious conflict of character - between a stern authority figure and her kindling rebellious student. In a scene, Sara is made to remember and recite poetry by Mrs Appleyard but fails to do so correctly refusing to do as her principal has said - facing Mrs Appleyard with calculated words with forced effort, her back straight, and not making any eye contact with the offending poetry book.…

    Emma was determined to believe that her husband was faithful to her, despite all the warning signs that she was getting. These signs included his late comings as well as her own intuition. Though she wanted to believe that her husband was faithful, there was a bit of doubt in the back of her mind. If this wasn’t the case, she would not persistently ask Jack if she was the only woman in his life. Jack would respond in the affirmative and then, according to Dory, the “bed would squeak”. Emma wanted to believe that she was living in a fairy-tale and she so she did, refusing to let anyone tell her otherwise.…

    The actions of the children’s fathers were not to blame alone; the unfaithfulness and the naivety off two mothers were held somewhat responsible for what took place. In The Boy Who Loved Ice Cream, had the mother stayed faithful, the over-protective husband that he is now would not have reacted the way he did at the fair to cause Benjy to lose his first chance at tasting something he thought about every day. Emma however, her role is less to blame, she cannot be blamed for her…
