Reply to Jason's question, I think Emily would face the world more logically and accept things that have happened because she wouldn't feel too special that she would think that she could do anything.

reply to jason - Emily would have probably met the perfect guy and married him. She would have had beautiful children and lived a happy life. Also, her personality wouldn't have turned out to be so antisocial.

If Emily did not kill her lover, than what would have changed in the story? What would be different in her life?

Jennifer Kim said...

Reply to Karen:
If Emily's father did not die, Emily would not have had the mental turmoil which has caused her to commit murder, and to marry her "lover."

DK9302 said...

YOUR WRONG
kyu hyun
there is a problem
if society allows you to do whatever you want. A lot of people would be dead.

The story would have been different if Emily's father did not have such high standards. She would have married as she was young and beautiful, living a happy life
