Pod and Prejudice

Emma Chapters 11-12


Listen Later

In chapters 11 and 12 of Emma, Isabella and John Knightley come to visit, we witness the battle of Wingfield v. Perry, and Emma and Knightley try to keep the peace. Topics discussed include gruel, mostly, and the mystery of Jane Fairfax.

Study Questions: Topics discussed include the purpose of John and Isabella, what we've learned about Emma, why Knightley forgives Emma and how they operate together in the story, and the Churchills.

Funniest Quote: "And for a little while she hoped he would not talk of it, and that a silent rumination might suffice to restore him to the relish of his own smooth gruel."

Questions Moving Forward: Why do people hate the Churchills? Will Frank come to visit? What's up with Harriet and Elton?

Who Wins the Chapters? Emma and Knightley
