Emma's friend, and the only person who criticizes her, is Knightley Knightley, his "neighbor" and brother-in-law (brother of her sister's husband), ten years her senior. When her governess, Miss Taylor, who was practically her friend and confidant, decides to marry, Emma is left alone before its own feelings.
