    Emma By Jane Austen
    How does the Symbolism of "Tokens of Affection" help Emma grow up in Jane Austen's Novel? :confused:

    Love English Lit assignments.
    Tokens of Affection
    A number of objects in the novel take on symbolic significance as tokens of affection. Mr. Elton frames Emma's portrait of Harriet as a symbol of affection for her, though Emma misunderstands it as a symbol of affection for Harriet. Harriet keeps court plaster and a pencil stub as souvenirs of Mr. Elton. When the engagement between Jane and Frank is briefly called off, she returns his letters to symbolize her relinquishment of his affection.
