Emily of emerald Hills

To thoroughly analize Emily of emerald hills, I have come to realise that there are many things hidden inside the book which are left for we ourslefves to find out. One question for us to ponder is , is Emily really a bad mother? Is she really a failure? Can we come to realise the hardwork she has put for her children?
Well , personally , what I think is that Emily was just trying her best to be a good mother.She was overdomineering perhaps , but it is undeniable that she was trying her best to be a good mother.Though she wants to be made happy ,not make her children happy , Emily no doubt wanted the best for her children.
Maybe her way of loving and caring for her children was wrong , Emily no doubt loved them , even if they dont appreciate it. Emily is traditional she doesnt like to follow the flow of the society , as she remains fully old fationed and traditional. Though stubborn to accept change , we can come to pity her as we realise that her life was not as favourable as it should be.
