Emily of Emerald Hill
. This triumph she had was again replaced by sadness and shock when she was “[kept] out of his [ward]” and refused to be seen by her husband . Her life was tragic, she was sad, “her voice is subdued, filled with pain” . Her triumph in getting her husband’s faithfulness was replaced by her husband’s tragic refusal to see her . And perhaps the worst representation of her tragic life is that in the end, after the deaths of two of her closest family, she still did not understand “why did [they] both hate [her] ?” She did not even think she “[did] anything wrong” . Emily did not understand why Richard and Kheong “hated” her and that is very tragic . In conclusion, Emily’s life is more tragic than triumphant . Almost all her triumph in her life was quickly replaced by tragedy as shown above . In the end, she also is alone in Emerald Hill and there to reflect on her life and hence tragic: she started out alone and ended alone .
