I need help analyzing this quote in chapter 22 of Emma:
"human nature is so well disposed towards those who are in interesting situations, that a young person , who either marries or dies, is sure to be kindly spoken of"
Thanks =)

I have to do a close reading for my college english class about a metaphor in the story of Emma. Although, not necessarily a traditional metaphor, more in the sense for instance, letters equate to happiness. In that anytime a character recieves a letter their initial emotion is joy. Any ideas?
