- Ride back with Mr Elton after he
confessed his love for her - Emma
takes this time to think over her past
misunderstandings
- "It was wretched business, indeed!"
- She realises how she
cares for Harriet for
more than herself
- "Such a blow for Harriet! - That was the worst of all. Every part of it brought pain and
humiliation, of some sort or other; but compared with the evil to Harriet, all was
light;"
- Despite this Emma still puts blame on
someone else for her mistakes
- "His manners, however, must have been
unmarked, wavering, dubious, or she could
not have been so mislead."
- Emma realises
she has done
wrong with her
matchmaking
- "The first error and the worst lay at her door. It was foolish, it was
wrong, to take so active a part in bringing any two people
together. It was adventuring too far, assuming too much, making
light of what ought to be serious, a trick of what ought to be
simple. She was quite concerned and ashamed, and resolved to
do such things no more."
