Isabella Knightley
Isabella Knightley
Isabella Knightley is not only Emma's sister but is married to Mr. Knightley's brother John Knightley. She has five children, lives in London, and is quite different than Emma. Jane Austen describes her as, "slow and diffident" (34). She is kind, caring, and loves her family. Austen writes her as a foil to Emma to contrast their different characters.
