A/ False - None of them are really perfect but just wish it were so. Emma has a god complex and wishes to control and manipulate everyone and everything and her father is obsessed about ill health and dangerous things

B/ False - Mr Woodhouse was very unhappy when Miss Taylor married as he likes to have everybody around him and have no independence. He also worried about everybody which shows that he can also be very unselfish.

E/ False - Harriet is an orphan with no wealth or natural intelligence although we only have Emmas thoughts to tell us that she isnt beautiful

F/ False - Harriet already has very strong feelings for Mr Martin and Emma can sense this and tries to persuade Harriet that he is beneath her station and that she should look for a better suitor

G/ True - Emma sees herself as a perfect human being and that she has the right to control other peoples lives and relationships. Unfortunately Harriet will fall under her influence and Emma tries to impress her beliefs on to her

H/ True - Both of them like Harriet very much but for slightly different reasons

 

LOOKING AHEAD..

1. After reading the first chapter i dont think that Emma will have a good influence on Harriet because of the way that she sees herself as some sort of control freak match maker and also the idea that she is pefect and better than anybody else
2. I think he will as the story develops because Mrs Weston seems to have some sort of idea about him and Emma falling in love with one another
3. Yes Emaa will fall in love, but only with herself
4. Yes they will have a happy marriage as they have lots of love and empathy for each other
