It's because she loved him so much that she did it. She new what she was doing wasn't right and didn't want to inflicked the same heart ache she felt on someone else by staying with him
Well, that's the thing: she loves him. She knows that he's in love with Victoria and she knows that he'll be happier if he's with her. She cared more about him than herself, which shows that she truly loves him.
I think she gave Victor up because she knows what it`s suffer for love and she knows that it`s not fair taka away Victor`s life because she love him. I think it`s ok that she gave Victor up. It`s so good on her personality...
I agree with everyone that it's because she loves Victor and couldn't bear to see him suffer and be miserable without his true love victoria,because what's the point in being married to someone who doesn't love you back.
Besides there's a saying that if you love someone or something, set it free, because one day it may come back to you if you let it go. Emily loves victor and victor gave her her happiness back. So i guess that's why she let him go. And why i love emily so much. Tim burton is indeed a legend in the film work, right along with Wes Craven.
