FINALLY, Mr. Knightley and Emma are together! The way he declares his love is too cute! " Emma, I accept your offer, extraordinary as it may seem, I accept it and refer to you as a friend. Tell me, then, have I no chance of ever succeeding?"(368) This may be my new favorite quote. This reveals the whole theme of the novel: marriage. Almost everyone is now engaged or married apart from Harriet. I feel really bad for her. I wish she could find the perfect man. Jane and Frank and are now engaged also. They finally admitted to a secret engagement. I am surprised though they didn't get banished from society or something, aren't secret engagements low to society? Also, Emma and Mr. Knightley are a perfect match, they are both high in society and rich. The both attended the same parties too. They were the most logical choice to get married. How silly of Emma to think Mr. Knightley likes Harriet and Jane.
If you start the video at 9:42 is starts the scene of Mr.Knightley telling Emma he loves her. :)
One question that I asked while reading this novel was If Emma was going to live with Mr. Knightley at Donwell Abbey. I realized after that Donwell Abbey is a pun. Donwell looks like Done Well. It gives insight of the home of Mr.Knightley showing his home without really describing it. It also shows his personality. Showing how much he cares for the look of his home making sure it is well and acceptable for visitors. Also the word Abbey also describes the home without narration. An abbey is a place of worship and praise. It reveals that his home is beautiful and a place frequently admired.
