Yes, perhaps. Written by Reeba (3/6/2011 5:07 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Expectatiions (Long), penned by BarbaraB

But IMO that's too much expected from a young 21 year old by a 37 year old.

>he wants Emma to develop a mature moral conscience and attend wholly to her Christian and social duties and not just pick and choose what appeals to her.

In CH:44 Emma feels that;

She had been often remiss, her conscience told her so; remiss, perhaps, more in thought than fact;

My point all along has been that Emma is not 'wholly bad' even in the things she's considered bad, and needing 'redemption' ;-)
