Yet this frivolous action is not condemned in the subjective eyes of Miss Emma.  Indeed, she remarks, “I do not know whether it ought to be so, but certainly silly things do cease to be silly if they are done by sensible people in an impudent way.”  (194).  In the last few pages, the reader learns of the future relationship between Harriet and Emma:  “The intimacy between her and Emma must sink; their friendship must change into a calmer sort of goodwill; and fortunately, what ought to be, and must be, seemed already beginning, and in the most gradual, natural manner.”  (411).  It seems as if Emma has reached a conformity to her established rules of society.  However, it is more likely that Emma would rather keep Harriet away from her once confessed love Mr. Knightley, who was now Emma’s husband.                         Although the book is not written entirely from Emma’s point of view, still, Miss Austen allots enough perspective from Emma’s inner thoughts for the reader to draw a definite conclusion on whether or not Emma Woodhouse actually has discovered anything about herself.
