Where did Emily go with Mr. Steerforth ? What did she want to be?

Some time later, after visiting Steerforth at his home a second time, David makes another trip to Yarmouth and learns to his great surprise and dismay that Emily has run off with Steerforth to live a life of luxury in Europe. This news greatly distresses both the Steerforth and Peggotty families, leading Mr. Peggotty to meet Mrs. Steerforth.

Emily Grierson wanted freedom in the same way any young woman would want to leave her parents' home and live an independent life of her own. Because of the time period in which she came of age, having a life of her own for Emily meant marriage and family, establishing a home of her own.

yeah, i think its a good thing what do you think?
