i'm up to chapter 16 !!
basically mr elton ugly yucky disgusting
ohhh i feel so sorry for harriet :(
i'm listening to an audiobook and reading at the same time and it's a really good way to not get distracted!! i'm not very good at reading classic books because i'm not used to that style of writing so the audio really helps !!!
also i'm doing a lot of annotating in the book but idk if i'll share it
"she had to destroy all the hopes which she had so industriously been feeding" :( poor harriet
"but you have not an idea of what is requisite in situations directly opposite to your own." YES THIS IS IMPORTANT !!!
emma and mr knightley do like to argue though
i read a few more chapters!
emma be like hating jane because everyone loves her and thinks she's the best when emma wants to be the better
ok we're back

harriet thinking she'll die whenever she talks to a crush is so fucking funny but so fucking sad

mr woodhouse has one personality trait and that's worrying about catching a cold
mr knightley doesn't like mr churchill bc everyone thinks mr churchill is in love w emma and emma doesn't like jane fairfax who is in fact in love w mr churchill bc she thinks jane is better than her . too complex
