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...

Perhaps, returning to our question a few paragraphs ago, we can now propose a difference between Frank and Emma’s characters. Sure, Frank seems contrite at the very, very end, but only Emma learns that her actions can (and have) hurt others. In the end, Frank and Jane seem happy together. We here at Shmoop agree with Emma, however – Frank ...
