Pod and Prejudice

Emma Chapters 49-51


Listen Later

If we loved these chapters less, we might be able to talk about them more. Which would be hard, because this is a long one. All we have to say is KNIGHTLEY LOVES EMMA! Also, Frank explains himself and Knightley hears him out, and Knightley decides to move in with Emma. Topics discussed include Knightley's jealousy, Austen's iconic romance writing, couples gossiping, and Knightley as a feminist icon.

Study questions: Topics discussed include Frank's redemption arc, whether Frank is more Churchill or Weston, Knightley's big reveal and how he compares to other Austen heartthrobs, friends to lovers, the Hartfield move, and the power balance in age difference couples.

Funniest quote: 1. "Mr. Knightley, always so kind, so feeling, so truly considerate for every body, would never deserve to be less worshipped than now; and it really was too much to hope even of Harriet, that she could be in love with more than three men in one year."

2. “He trifles here,” said he, “as to the temptation. He knows he is wrong, and has nothing rational to urge.—Bad."

3. “Nay, nay, read on.—You will find how very much he suffers.”

“I hope he does,” 

Questions moving forward: What's going to happen when Emma tells Harriet?

Who wins the chapters? Knighthouse!!!!!!!!!
