Emma: A Reading



Why this is one of my favorite scenes:  It embodies what is best about both Mr Knightley and Emma.  He is kind-hearted and considerate, and puts a lot of store by setting a good example, as shown when he came to Harriet's "rescue"; he's also a little uncertain and tentative, in a really charming way.  The Emma is a flawed heroine, this scene shows the best side of her: she is confident and vivacious, the leader of the pack in a good way, and ready to be merry and make sure everyone is happy.  Add in the great little foretaste of romantic tension and it's pretty near perfect.

    I love that he knows saying less will be like saying more and how he shows her compassion even when she has done wrong.
