Good insight on Emma's personality and I'd like to tag-on Written by jeffrey (2/17/2011 2:18 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Mr. Knightley and Emma, penned by BarbaraB

to this last quote from BarbaraB's post:

"....Emma has the capacity for so much better if she can get out of her own way. :)

In a post I made long-long ago and far-far away, I was of the opinion that Emma was not particularly accomplished at music, singing, or art, because her peculiar talent or gift was leadership, organizing, and influence.

Indeed, she has spent the entire story, thus far, exercising these talents, albeit entirely the wrong way. However, are we going to see Emma eventually get control of herself and flex her power beneficially in her sphere of influence? I hope so or this is going to degenerate into a disaster.
