Heck, I have been know to partake in retail therapy when depressed. So, while I found Emma boring, it was more of my own fear of such boredom that I found repulsive. I related to her, I fear what my own life would be like living in her world. The horror aspects of the story are strong to me, but her boredom is more horrible than any Gothic monster.

Exactly what she said, and the older and more experiences go through the more I can relate with Emma- would never do what she did, but certainly can relate.
