Emma Swan Alternate Ending

Improved Essays
Emma Swan was barging in on the mayoral manor; she hadn't seen or spoken to Regina (civilly) in nearly a week. She could take insults, fireballs, even at this point. Plus Emma was just concerned; Regina had even turned away Henry.

"Regina?" No answer from the quiet house. She decided to shift tactics. "Mayor Mills? Your favorite sheriff here." Sarcasm, mostly. "Say, do I come before or after David these days? Regina?" Emma called up the steps to the second floor, and was startled by the Regina that came to the top of the stairs; she was barely recognizable and hardly intimidating enough to be a well Regina. Feet encased only in sheer stockings, cheeks flushed, glass of wine still in hand, and was her shirt buttoned crooked?

"There's no more pesky happiness for you to save me from up here, Miss Swan, I assure you. If you'll allow me to get back to my misery...." Regina took hearty sips from her glass and sat right on the floor with her back propped against the wall, legs crossed at the ankles out in front of her.

But she could feel guilty about hurting Regina.

"For the record, actually right at this moment, I do prefer David, come to think of it. At least if he made me miserable it'd be on purpose. You stumbled into ruining everything; how like your mother." They both heard the Evil Queen in her voice. Emma could hear the barbed hurt dripping off her lips like the wine in her hand.

"Regina,

    A heavy sigh echoed though the small dank space, followed by a low humorless laugh. Oliver carefully shifted his precarious footing in the soft muck beneath the dark murky water, grimacing as the mud oozed deeper into his boots. He raised his eyes toward the circle of dim light a mere five feet beyond his reach. His eyes lowered to study the wall of algae covered green stones that lined the well shaft…well that had lined most of the shaft. An angry scar of exposed red clay marred a large portion of the wall above where he had attempted to climb out nearly a half hour earlier, the missing stones lost somewhere in the ice cold water below.…

    Elton indicates the merits of character which Emma appraises. In describing Emma as making “as slight a reply as she could”, in contrast to Mrs. Elton’s lengthy ramblings, the reader understands that Emma is in fact taking the superior position in the conversation by exercising a tactful moderation in her effort to ease the tension of the situation. And it is this sort of behaviour which Austen depicts as integral to well-roundedness of being, with the simplicity of the statement “Emma doubted the truth of this sentiment” expressing an insightfulness mirroring that which permeates Passage Three, in the form of the sagacious Knightley. Indeed, Emma’s balanced consideration “Many counties, I believe, are called the garden of England” invokes not only an imagery of intellect, but also a landscape beyond the confines of the immediate setting: Emma, in acknowledging the beauty of not only Highbury, but also of England as a whole, brings herself to a closer alignment with the civil unity which Austen portrays as so intrinsic to individuals in the framework of such a rich, flourishing society.…

    Emma sought spiritual help from the Christian church several times and was not granted the treatment that she sought. In fact, when she went to the priest Bournisien, and confessed that she was ill, she was mocked by his laughter: “Charles is doctor of the body, and I of the soul.” The priest fails to help Emma feel any better or ease her spiritual illness. This makes obvious to Emma that the priest doesn’t understand her point of view, and contributes to her feeling of hopelessness. The superficial church fails in answering her calls for help from the pain she is feeling – a pain emanating from dissatisfaction with the grim and superficial realities of life.…

Lazily, he kicked another log onto the fire in front of them. Not really needing the warmth the fire provided, it was more of a habit whenever Jasper spent time with Emmett out in the woods. “Then, why are we back at the scene of your death?”…

    Throughout the novel, although there are exceptions, Emma’s point of view dominates allowing the audience to develop a deeper relationship with her and closely follow her progression as a character and causes the audience to like her despite her flaws. This shifts in the final chapter where the audience is denied access to Emma’s voice making her appear more distant and passive perhaps to demonstrate how her status as a married woman has changed the dynamics of her situation and made her more passive. This shows how Austen’s manipulation of narrative and character voice can change the tone and atmosphere of the story and…
