"The real evils indeed of Emma's situation were the power of having rather too much her own way and a disposition to think a little too well of herself..."
This quote really shows the character of the protagonist, Emma. It shows her flaw, which is being too spoiled and conceited. It also foreshadows a mistake or mistakes she will make in the book dealing with her spoiled lifestyle. Mr. Knightley is the only character that actually lets Emma know about her flaws. At first I thought it was due to the brother-sister relationship between the two, but towards the end of the novel I realized he was trying to better Emma as a person so he could have a better suitor of a wife.
