Summary of Emma by Jane Austen?
On the surface, the lesson is not to meddle in other people's lives.
But there is a deeper lesson, which is that the very limited opportunities afforded women of that time were causing trouble. Emma meddles because she is bored, but she is nothing compared to Mrs. Elton, who is both bored and unimaginative. Jane Fairfax cannot do anything she wants to do, because she needs to be secretive about her engagement to Frank Churchill, but she is constantly bothered by Mrs. Elton because she needs to secure her future. The portrait of Miss Bates is constantly a warning to the younger women, and the portrait of Harriet Smith is both a reminder of what can go wrong and that a woman is very lucky to marry if she has no money.
Because they don't exsist. Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte were both using fictional places, so instead of making up names and taking away from the reality of the books, they did as was the custom during that time and just ignored the first part of the name.

Is Pride and Prejudice a traditional or post-modern story?
Pride and Prejudice is about 80 or 100 years to early to be postmodern. But I don't think it is exactly traditional either, because it is about pretty ordinary people in pretty ordinary circumstances, except that they were of a privileged class. Other books of the era were about people who were unusual because of strange or wonderful happenstances, or because of unusual psychology.

When does Elizabeth's self-examination begin in Pride and Prejudice?
Elizabeth's self examination begins in earnest when she reads the letter Darcy sends her, in which Darcy defends his actions toward Wickham and says why he wanted to separate Bingley from Jane Bennet.
There may have been other indications of self examination before this, but I cannot think of any off hand. In any event they were certainly not as vitally important to the novel as her reflections arising from Darcy's letter.
In Pride and Prejudice did Lydia and wickem go to Gretna green?
Lydia and Wickham never went to Gretna Green. In fact they did not try, and this is part of the scandal. In England, wedding banns had to be posted in the church where the bride was a communicant, a process that took weeks. This was not true in Scotland, and the result that couples who eloped to get married often went to Scotland to get an instant wedding. Gretna Green was just across the border, and had chapels where the priests would perform ceremonies at any time of day on a moment's notice, for a price. But the fact that Lydia and Wickham did not go to Gretna Green is a pretty sure indicator that Wickham did not want to marry Lydia at all.

Female bonding in the novels of Jane Austen?
Female bonding is not as big an issue for Jane Austen as marriage is, but it is important. In several cases, it is crucial to the plot. It is more subtle in its treatment, because it is not something the women are trying to achieve, in most cases, but something that just is. Her approach to female bonding is not formulaic, and no two sets of pairs of women are the same.
The bonding of Catherine Morland with Isabella Thorpe happened because the later was after her supposed wealth. If there is a female predator in Jane Austen's novels, Isabella is it. Eleanor Tilney is a better companion, but not as completely fleshed out.
In Sense and Sensibility, the bonding between Elinor and Marianne is famous, and for good reason. They always give each other affection, comfort, and support.
The same can be said of Lizzy and Jane, in Pride and Prejudice. Charlotte Lucas has an important relationship with Lizzy, but one gets the sense that she is replaced to large degree by Georgiana Darcy in the end.
Emma tries to bond with Harriet Smith. This is a mistake, not because there is anything bad about Harriet Smith, but because they have little in common. In the end, Harriet wisely, or perhaps without real though, marries the very man Emma had told her was wrong for her.
In Mansfield Park, there are attempts at bonding, but they fail, unless we count Fanny's relationship with Susan, which we do not see a lot of. Fanny's relationship with Mary Crawford is not really possible because Fanny does not trust Mary's character or judgement.
Anne Elliot is not a young woman who bonds with other young women much. Lady Russel is a friend and tries to act as a surrogate mother, but has given her bad advice, and really does not understand Anne very well. So it is a relationship that has to be overcome.
