https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_effect
The Matthew effect of accumulated advantage, sometimes called the Matthew principle, is the tendency of individuals to accrue social or economic success in proportion to their initial level of popularity, friends, and wealth. It is sometimes summarized by the adage or platitude "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer". The term was coined by sociologists Robert K. Merton and Harriet Zuckerman in 1968 and takes its name from the Parable of the Talents in the biblical Gospel of Matthew.
related somehow to the [[Lindy effect]]?

How Harriet Tubman is remembered and honored
I want this Harriet Tubman stamp more than I'd like the $5 Bill Murray version... at least until the new $20 is released.

ut for her acquaintance with the Martins of Abbey-Mill Farm, it must have been the whole. But the Martins occupied her thoughts a good deal; she had spent two very happy months with them, and now loved to talk of the pleasures of her visit, and describe the many comforts and wonders of the place
Ah, the seduction of the nuclear family! What parallels are there between Fanny in MP and Harriet I wonder? Additionally, Emma and Harriet are perhaps more similar than Emma realizes as both women choose marital partners with the concern of familial acquisition or preservation in the end.

exactly the something which her home required.
Like a shiny kettle! I'm more and more curious about the way Emma- however consciously- objectifies Harriet throughout the novel through the lens of both class and internalized misogyny. What Emma most valued in Harriet (at least initially) is her beauty and her mailability. Freud would probably have something to say about penis envy here honestly as the way Emma superimposes herself into Harriet's life as her keeper echoes the way Mr. Knightley administers unsolicited guidance to Emma on the basis of age and- more significantly- gender.

less as a governess than a friend, very fond of both daughters, but particularly of Emma. Between them it was more the intimacy of sisters.
It is interesting that one of Emma's first intimate friends- outside of her sister- is employed by the family and Miss Taylor would on some level have to comply to Emma's whims as the daughter of her employer. I wonder how this influences the dynamics of Emma's relationship with Harriet later in the novel.

want of near relations and a settled home, remaining another year at school
Note that Miss Hamilton's situation is like that of Harriet Smith in Emma, no relations and no where to go so they stay at school
