I'm wondering, given Emma's situation, what any of you thought she should have done?

Early on I was hoping for her to take a lover, and kind of liked her fling with Randolphe. I wonder if she would have been happier learning to be the player that he was, understanding that it was all fun and games, and would some day come to an end.

I was hopeful when she hooked up with Leon, but her dissaisfaction marred that relationship - do you suppose that was inevitable? Tha t Emma was destined to never be satisfied? In which case perhaps the suicide made for a fitting finish - to at least end in drama when none was to be had?
