Emma, Volume 3, Chapter 4: riassunto

Volume 3, Chapter 4 di 55 · 9 min per leggere: chapter

In Chapter 4, Harriet burns her keepsakes of Mr. Elton and confesses an attachment to an unnamed man whose social position exceeds hers. Emma assumes she means Frank Churchill, urges caution, and promises not to interfere, yet approves the attachment as a way to improve Harriet’s mind.

Cosa succede

  1. Harriet brings Emma a parcel and declares that she no longer loves Mr. Elton or envies his wife.
  2. She reveals a saved piece of plaster and a useless pencil end, prompting Emma to admit her own matchmaking trick.
  3. Harriet burns both keepsakes, while Emma wonders whether an attachment to Frank Churchill has begun.
  4. About a fortnight after the alarm, Harriet declares that she expects never to marry and admires someone far above Mr. Elton.
  5. Without naming the man, Emma warns Harriet against excessive hope but praises her choice and resolves to avoid further discussion.
