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

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.

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.

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.

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
