Knightley and Emma

It is considered by many to be rather odd that Knightley decides to move into Emma's Hartfield instead of Randall's after the two of them tie the knot. It could be seem as Emma being a domineering sort of  fiancee. Or perhaps he loves her enough to be willing to give up just a bit of his pride. At least their closest friends see nothing the matter with the arrangement. Mrs. Weston is more than thrilled: "who but Mr. Knightley could know and bear with Mr. Woodhouse, so as to make such an arrangement desirable!" (316). It also could be that Mr. Knightley is think of the future. Emma's father is surely not going to live much longer, and then the husband and wife will be able to move to his, probably more comfortable, home.
Another, rather odd, aspect about the relationship between Emma and Knightley is their age difference. This would not be such a problem if the way they interacted were different. Throughout the entire book, the two argue and bicker like siblings. Knightley often puts himself in a parents shoes, telling Emma he knows better than she does because he is older, or a male. Because of this, it is as if the Emma will be living with two father figures once she gets married. One she will have to take care of. And one who will guide her and tell her which are the wise choices.
