This chart vividly brings home a key point Written by Delories (3/30/2008 1:04 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, First chapter character descriptions, penned by Laraine

Wonderful chart! I hadn't seen it before, either.

It clearly shows us how _Emma_, we have a multitude of voices describing and talking about everyone, mimicking the hive of Highbury, as well as the cool, slightly ironic tone of the Omniscient Narrator (henceforth ON).

Which brings up the question: who _is_ a reliable narrator? We all assume from the get-go that dear old Mr Woodhouse (henceforth DOMW)is not. Fine. But what about the ON...?
