He is an amiable young man, who manages to be liked by everyone except Mr. Knightley, who considers him quite immature, partially due to his jealousy of Frank's supposed 'pursuit' of Emma. Mr Knightley thinks him vain, criticising him as a "silly, trifling fellow" for once riding to London for a haircut during his stay in Highbury. Frank enjoys dan...
