Generosity does not need to be tied to rank Written by Ramya (3/19/2011 1:50 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Emma's superior position, penned by Nikki N

Jane herself admits that her manners towards Miss Woodhouse were "cold and artificial" and must have "disgusted her". I don't see why Jane has to be made out to be blameless just because Emma was also to blame.
