What does Emma learn with each new experience, each new man?
Does she grow? If so, how?
Static/dynamic?
Which other characters are static or dynamic?
Emma does not learn anything from each new man that she has a relationship with. Throughout the book so far, she continues to long for someone else, but never truly finds who she is looking for. If she did, Emma would not try to go after more guys. For example, if Leon was her true lover, then she would not go after Rudolphe. I believe she does not know what she wants. That is the most important thing that a person can learn in their life, and she has not learned it. Because of this, she has not learned anything. She must learn to figure out what she wants, and then she will be able to find happiness. She is a static character because her mindset does not change. She continues to look for something, but doesn't know what that something is.
