Emma Chapters 31-32

Pod and Prejudice

Meet the Eltons! Emma develops a new matchmaking scheme and we get introduced to Mr. Elton's new (terrible) wife. Topics discussed include who pays on the first date, who's the hypochondriac in the relationship, and who Knightley's best friend is.

Study questions: Topics discussed include how Frank has changed Emma's perceptions of love, how the nature of her crush has changed, team Frankiet, the Eltons' relationship, and Augusta Hawkins and her purpose in the story.

Funniest quote: "They say everybody is in love once in their lives, and I shall have been let off easily." AND, "She would not be in a hurry to find fault, but..."

Questions moving forward: Will they form a musical club? Where's Mr. Martin? What does Knightley think of Mrs. Elton? Will Frank come back?

Who wins the chapters? 1 point for Mrs. Elton, 1 point for Emma
