And this comes from someone who is well-accustomed to Austen's often whiny, vain, and hilariously self-deluded characters who serve as comedy gold and tools of subtle social commentary.

But somehow in this posthumously published work, I feel she focused her attentions on lathering an extra layer of vindictiveness on to many of the pla It's a worrisome affair if you have to plod through an Austen work all the while unsuccessfully battling the urge to slap more than half of the central characters.

But somehow in this posthumously published work, I feel she focused her attentions on lathering an extra layer of vindictiveness on to many of the players.

Additionally, the first three quarters of the narrative progressed in the most lacklustre manner possible with little to no development on any front.

No dramatic confrontations, emotionally charged conversations, simmering sexual tension or witty, flirty banter to spice things up. The overwhelming blandness of it all felt too close to real life situations.

But of course, this is Austen. The same woman whose remarkable insight on the condition of women is reflected in a letter to one of her correspondents a hundred years ago.

Single women have a dreadful propensity for being poor-which is one very strong argument in favour of Matrimony. The same woman who rescued the English novel from the tenacious grip of the age of sentiment and genre trope hysterics of the gothic novel to give it a truly modern form.

The same woman who tried to challenge the laws that governed social interaction of the times by placing as great an emphasis on moral behaviour as on class-based identity.

And this very same woman makes Anne Elliot her mouthpiece while arraigning the convention of woman-shaming that contemporary male novelists upheld with gusto and a latent smugness.

Men have had every advantage of us in telling their own story. Education has been theirs in so much higher a degree; the pen has been in their hands.

I will not allow books to prove any thing. So yes my dwindling interest in the book and abrupt loss of faith in Austen's brilliance lasted only for a few disappointing pages before she turned things around quite climactically.

At the ripe age of twenty-seven, Anne Elliot maybe one of Austen's least remarkable heroines. Neither does she possess Emma's sass and cool confidence nor does she exude Elizabeth's unwavering self-esteem and channel a sardonic indifference towards her social superiors.

And yet she never backs down from defending members of her own sex from unsavory remarks based on hollow prejudices. It is a difference of opinion which does not admit of proof.

We each begin probably with a little bias towards our own sex, and upon that bias build every circumstance in favour of it which has ocurred within our circle; many of which circumstances perhaps those very cases which strike us the most may be precisely such as cannot be brought forward without betraying a confidence, or in some respect saying what should not be said.

So persuasion. The excellence of this book's central premise is that it establishes Anne Elliot as a woman who is consistent in love and errs only on the side of caution even though outwardly she is perceived as a pushover, one who yields easily to persuasion and incitement.

Long story short, Austen ingeniously misled both her hero and her reader to the wrong conclusions about the heroine.

And she knew how exactly to subvert the power dynamics of hierarchical social structures while simultaneously preserving the veneer of conformity.

If that's not genius, I don't know what is. View all 47 comments. Persuasion by Jane Austen is a Enhanced Media publication.

Originally published in A wonderfully pleasant classic by one of my favorite writers. Surely, since Jane Austen has written some of my very favorite books, and I consider her to be one of Persuasion by Jane Austen is a Enhanced Media publication.

Surely, since Jane Austen has written some of my very favorite books, and I consider her to be one of my top five favorite authors, I have read every one of her books, right?

Maybe I just needed a refresher. But, for the life of me, I have no memory of ever having read this one. So, despite my tight reading schedule, I just had to stop the assembly line and squeeze this one in.

While there are already plenty of reviews for this book, I just wanted to share my experience of it with you. Up front, I must confess, this book, while listed as a favorite by many, is not mine, mainly because of the time it took to get to the meat of the story, and I felt the momentum dragged in some places.

I loved that! I also enjoyed the themes explored, concerning character traits, and the misjudgment, or maybe the PRE- judgment of those traits, while also touching on the disadvantages of remaining totally one- dimensional.

This story also delves into the complexities of family, friendship, and of course love, and is well balanced and rounded.

The writing of course is quite different from what we are accustomed to, or I should say, what I'm accustomed to, and at times the wordiness was challenging, but I did appreciate the manners, and activities described, and the characterizations.

She was all, I was right to listen to advice from my elders , but she did admit that they should have revisited the he's not eligable situation a lot sooner.

Also, she was kind of doing the best she could with what she had to work with back in the day. And honestly, how was she at such a young age to know the difference between a guy who says he's going to work hard and make it big and does , and Anne fucked up, and turned down the love of her life.

And honestly, how was she at such a young age to know the difference between a guy who says he's going to work hard and make it big and does , and a guy who says he's going to work hard and make it big, but turns out to be a lazy doofus?

Because we all know that one poor idiot who didn't ask enough questions, thought that love was the only thing you needed, and trusted in her man's good sense too much.

Anne did lose the love of her life due to caution. She also didn't end up with some hippie stoner who sat on her couch all day and talked about his plans to teach the cat to play the harmonica.

Life's a balancing act, ladies. I like this one. Anne isn't some twit who sits around blubbering about it, but you also get that she loved Frederick very much.

It's the age-old story of the one that got away and you're genuinely rooting for her the entire time. I gotta admit, I wasn't all that crazy about him at the beginning of the book when it looked like he was flirting with the cute young ladies in front of her.

But then I realized that she had broken his seafaring heart into sad little pieces, and maybe he deserved a bit of payback. Ok, so the most memorable part of the story to me was this scene where this married couple were driving along in their carriage and she kept telling him how to drive.

Just goes to show you, underneath it all, things aren't really much different. And it's nice to know that people have always been kind of nuts.

Recommended for Austen fans. Greta Scacchi was the narrator of the audiobook I listened to and she did a lovely job if you're interested in listening rather than reading.

Jul 09, Trevor rated it it was amazing Shelves: literature. What can I possibly tell you about Jane Austen? I really enjoyed this.

I really like that by the end you get to move a bit out of the head of the main character, away from her self-deprecations and almost masochistic lacerations and get to see what Captain Wentworth actually did think of her — rather than her-less-than-self-congratulatory version.

Okay, it is all very romantic — but what I found most interesting in this book was how I felt compelled to consider how much of the world we learn by having it reported to us.

There is always a layer of reality below which we can only ever guess at — and that is what is really going on in the minds of others.

Sometimes we do discover something of this — and that might either bring joy or pain — but otherwise we construct and reconstruct the world on the best narrative we can make from the frowns or smiles of those around us, glimpsed however imperfectly in the twinkling of a moment.

A while ago I took a very dear friend of mine to the local art gallery and showed her a couple of little statue things they have there of two old women.

The artist has created these two miniature people — two homunculi who are engrossed in the conversation they whisper between themselves.

If you view them from the front they look to be talking away quite contentedly — almost conspiratorially - but as you move around to view them from the back you see that one of them looks very anxious, perhaps almost about to cry, perhaps oddly frightened.

The guesses we make on the motivations and desires of others are always partial, always mixed up with our own motivations and desires and misattributions.

So it is that Anne Elliot spends much of the novel — perhaps a woman a little too good for this world. She can even watch on with quiet resignation as the man she loves seems to be choosing someone else to marry.

There are many interesting themes in this book — class distinctions and their worth in judging the value of someone, when to take the advice of someone and when not to, how jealousy has much to recommend it in regaining the love of your ex.

Mary and her father are masterworks in the description of the obnoxious in human form — the botched soul.

The idea that real feeling, the hope of a truly happy marriage, can only be based on the common rationality of the couple at hand.

Love is a mingling of minds, rather than bodies. Love, then, is a version of that highest type of friendship that our old mate Aristotle was so fond of — and that life cruelly teaches us is so incredibly rare for us with people of either sex.

Still, I guess all would be well if not for those damn hormones. And of everyone in the book poor old Benwick probably cops the worst press - for not being constant enough to the memory of his recently departed ex-wife.

The discussion at this point reminded me a bit of Hamlet whinging about his mum and uncle. But this does all end up with that most wonderful of quotes — where Anne says that women may not love deeper, but that they do love longer, even after all hope is gone.

If you are going to get a slap in a piece of classic fiction, it is probably best that it happen in a way that results in such a line.

The fact she is almost moved to tears after saying this line and that it is basically the turning point of the entire book really is a lovely thing.

If only in life it could be that saying the utterly perfect thing would reap such rich rewards… But then, I guess that does rather put the onus on finding the utterly perfect thing to say.

Eight years pass during which she PERSUADES herself that her role is that of a supporting member of the family, patiently attending to the tantrums of her sisters and accepting the disregard of her conceited father.

The moment a person needs to be convinced to do something against his or her natural inclination, all kinds of complications, sacrifices and frustrations are likely to follow.

View all 29 comments. Book cover The protagonist of the story is Anne Elliot, an unmarried, thoughtful, considered, literate, but very inconspicuous woman of 27 years.

Her nobel family is completely opposed to her and living in excess, forcing them to move to get out of debt. They rent their home to an Admiral and his wife, who's brother, Navy Captain Frederick Wentworth, had been engaged to Anne eight years before.

Anne broke off their engagement, because she was pressured by her dead mothers best friend. Now they meet again after the Napoleonic war, in which Wentworth made a fortune with the Royal Navy.

Persuasion is different from her other works. Ausrens usual light and glow writing with "sparkle and spirit", is replaced by more mature writing.

It still has lightness, but there is more emotion, depth, warmth and color in it. Like most Austen heroines, Anne is witty, clever, and considerate, but she is not the prettiest.

She takes pride in practicality, intellect, and patience, is neither catty, flighty, nor hysterical. She is conscious of the social structure, and though she may seek a bit more flexibility, she by no means wishes to seriously challenge notions of class.

The Love Story This time Austen tells a love story, that is more mature. A love that has survived eight years of separation.

She uses a mixture of dialogue and reported speech, to allow an emotional writing of Anne's feelings; her pain and suffering for having given up the man she loved; and the pain that comes with meeting him again.

He approaches her with coldness and rejection and she falls in agony; having to watch him pursue other women very much younger than her; her knowledge that her once pretty looks are no longer attractive to him.

Her believe that she has lost every chance to be happy with him and her profound realization, that she still loves him deeply.

The beauty of Anne depends on her character remaining the same, she needs to remain true to herself, and cherish the memory of the ones she loved.

Anne's love for Wentworth is the only fixed point in an otherwise fluid world and the focus on memory makes it her most lyrical work.

Social Class Royal Navy during the Napoleon war Class rigidity and social mobility are important themes of the novel. Austen pictures two ways to improve ones social standing: marriage and going to war to become a Navy officer.

This changes with Persuasion, where she pictures the Napoleonic war as virtue, leading officers to wealth. They already look foreword to the next war.

Her social commentary and criticism are very limited; she defends the values and traditions, but still shows support of greater social mobility.

In the Navy one rises up via one's talents, not via birth and land, which makes it her most radical of all of novels. Annes snobby and arrogant father, who is financially incompetent dismisses naval officers for have risen "too quickly" in social status, whereas Wentworth uses his earned money wisely.

Two of Austens brothers were Navy officers, perhaps her tribute to them. Architecture drawing of the families extravagance But Austens sets rules and limits to social ambition.

Annes father is punished for his selfishness and excess. He spends more money than he has and indulges in unneccessary luxury, causing him to loose his home.

She exposes the snobbiness, arrogance and vanity of the nobels and mocks them with sarcasm, while hinting at their decline of superiority, through the decline in wealth.

Thereby she presents two different versions of the English gentleman. Her father is the traditional, land-owning, titled man who avoids work and seeks comfort, while the naval officers are working men who have made their own fortunes.

Though their manners are impeccable, they are not of the same high social rank. In this period of English history, the definition of a 'gentleman' was growing increasingly more flexible.

Austen is conservative in her respect for class traditions, but she does recognize the advantages of greater social flexibility. Traditional Role Models The doctrine in the 19th century was a separation between the public and the domestic life.

Traditionally male would be in charge of the public domain finances, legal matters, war etc. Austen questions this idea.

She introduces the Crofts, an example of a happy, ideal marriage, that share the spheres of their life. Croft joins her husband on his ships at sea, and Admiral Croft helps his wife with the chores around the home.

They even share the task of driving a carriage. Annes younger sister Mery has married a gentry and therefore lost social status, which makes her fall into self pity and some kind of Münchhausen-syndrom to get attention and care.

She completely fails to take care of her children, getting close to abandonment. Her little son has an accident and is badly injured.

At first his recovery is unclear and lasting damage is likely. Anne fills that void, takes over the responsibility and even seeks pride in it.

In this situation, surrounded by several men, as well as women, Anne is the only one who can keep a clear head and manages the crisis.

Considering that those men were Navy officers, just coming back from war, it seems significant. Anne takes control over the situation, acts reasonable and once more proves her reliability and her ability to take on responsibilities.

I appreciated that she took topics outside of marriage, like injury and death into her story while still combining it with the love for literature.

Austen convinced me at last and I might re-read her other books as well, maybe I experience them differently now. View all 30 comments. Persuasion is said to be the best work of Jane Austen.

While I have reservations on that conviction, I do see why it is said so. Persuasion is quite different from most of her preceding work.

In many of them, her writing is light and glows with "sparkle and spirit". But in Persuasion , her spirited and sparkle writing is replaced by more mature writing.

It is still light but there are more warmth and emotion in her writing as well as more depth and colour. In short, Jane Austen has written Persuasion with so much feeling to make it stand tall among all her other work.

The main female protagonist, Anne Elliot, is a mature heroine who has lost her "youth and bloom" over the years as a result of her pining for a lost love.

She is unloved and neglected by the family except by the dear friend Lady Russel. But she is courageous and has a superior, cultivated mind to bear all indifference and to endure her loss without resentment.

Anne reminded me of Cinderella; the only difference was that she had an indifferent father instead of a wicked stepmother. Anne is strong.

She is self-made, kind, and has a keen intelligence. She secures her happiness more or less by her means supported by circumstances rather than any support rendered by family or friends.

Anne stands out from most of Austen heroines. Perhaps she is equal in stamina to the much loved Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice.

And I don't know if it is because of my partiality and obsession with Elizabeth Bennet over the years, but I couldn't help feeling that Anne is sort of a mature version of Elizabeth, only that Elizabeth would not have been easily persuaded.

Captain Wentworth is yet another beloved hero and could easily be placed in line with Darcy, Knightley, and Colonel Brandon. I'm amazed at Jane Austen's ability to create these heroes and heroines who are felt so real and who would undoubtedly occupy a place in all reader's hearts.

No Austen hero or heroine is ever forgotten and for centuries they have survived to become "immortal". Like in all Jane Austen's work, Persuasion too has a sweet love story.

But unlike in others, it is a mature love; one that was found, lost, and found again; one that has endured an eight and half years of separation.

And what is more striking is Austen's excellent and emotional writing of Anne's feelings: her pain and suffering for having given up the man she loved; her painful situation at having to meet him after eight and half years; her pain at his cool reception of her; her agony in watching of him pursue another woman very much younger than her; her knowledge that her once pretty looks and youth have been robbed over the years and she would no longer be attractive in his eyes.

All these emotions are detailed and beautifully and touchingly expressed that they almost broke my heart. In addition, there is also Austen's social commentary, criticism, and realism.

Through the characters of Sir Walter, Elizabeth, and Mary, she exposes the vanity of the titled and mocks them for their air of superiority.

At the same time, she gently hints at the decline of superiority maintained by the titled class through the declining in a wealth of Sir Walter and shows the emergence of a new wealthy class in Naval Officers who would gradually elevate their position in the society with their wealth, gaining respect and admiration.

Two brothers of Jane Austen were Navy officers and perhaps, this was her tribute to them. Overall, it is a beautiful book.

I loved every minute of reading it. And I believe this will be my most favourite of Jane Austen novel. Apr 18, Katerina rated it really liked it Shelves: classics , reads.

Her biting commentary on social situations and arrangements, on people and relationships is always top-notch; I would gladly read her grocery list if it offered such caustic insight on potatoes and cabbage.

Even though I prefer Pride and Prejudice , I have to admit that her heartwarming touch on emotions varying between jealousy, admiration, resignation and love, young and enthusiastic love that develops into mature, all-encompassing agape , is truly unique.

They make her stories complete, there's always intrigue, twists and revelations that, while not monumental, add a touch of spice and complement the main couple.

I wanted more time with them, watching them tiptoeing around their past and their still lingering feelings, absorbing their affection and connection.

For the past few years, I've chosen one favorite book to reread during winter break. Last year it was Jane Eyre , the year before it was Emma.

They are wonderful company! Anne is wise and well-spoken, considerate of others, and eager to help wherever she can.

Captain Wentworth is a gentleman, thoughtful and courteous. He is conscious of Anne's virtues and her value as a companion, and he hopes to secure her l For the past few years, I've chosen one favorite book to reread during winter break.

He is conscious of Anne's virtues and her value as a companion, and he hopes to secure her love again. You see, Frederick and Anne first fell in love when she was 19, but he had no money, and her family objected to the match.

So Anne was persuaded to refuse him. Eight years later, Frederick has returned to the neighborhood and is now a wealthy naval captain.

He is single and is looking for a wife. Anne is also single and still loves him. In truth, she has been waiting for him.

But can he forgive her for refusing him all those years ago? They'll have to work through a few obstacles to find out. Since Anne and Frederick are creations of the inimitable Jane Austen, you can be sure that although our hero and heroine have great worth, this novel also features relatives of such vanity and silliness as to make you both wince and laugh in amusement.

Anne's father and sisters are ridiculously full of themselves and judge everyone to be beneath them, save perhaps for royalty. One of my favorite scenes in the book is when Anne goes to visit her whiny sister Mary, and everyone in the family takes turns pulling Anne aside to secretly complain about Mary, begging her to do something.

Poor Anne, always caught in the middle! I am not sure when I first read Persuasion , but it's likely been a decade since I last opened it, so this reread was a true delight.

Austen's insight into her characters, their feelings and motivations, is so profound that I always marvel at how cleverly and artfully she wrote them.

Take this first description of Anne's foppish father: Vanity was the beginning and the end of Sir Walter Elliot's character; vanity of person and of situation.

He had been remarkably handsome in his youth; and, at fifty-four, was still a very fine man. Few women could think more of their personal appearance than he did; nor could the valet of any new made lord be more delighted with the place he held in society.

He considered the blessing of beauty as inferior only to the blessing of a baronetcy; and the Sir Walter Elliot, who united these gifts, was the constant object of his warmest respect and devotion.

And we quickly see how little Sir Walter appreciates his daughter, Anne, and how much she is ignored by her vain sister Elizabeth Last year I also reread Sense and Sensibility , and in that book, I was struck by how well Austen described those who were vain and silly.

There is plenty of that in Persuasion , but there are also excellent descriptions of love and feeling, and of the agony that only the heartsick person knows, that it shows the author's maturity.

This novel was completed in , and Miss Austen died the following year. I think her powers of observation and insight were never greater.

While I think this to be a splendid novel, if you are new to Jane Austen, I do not think I would start here.

I would recommend Pride and Prejudice to the novice; Persuasion should be delayed until you are ready. It is a treat all the more worth savoring because you have waited for it.

Favorite Quotes "How quick come the reasons for approving what we like. None of us want to be in calm waters all our lives. If there is any thing disagreeable going on, men are always sure to get out of it.

Elliot, is the company of clever, well-informed people, who have a great deal of conversation; that is what I call good company.

Good company requires only birth, education, and manners, and with regard to education is not very nice. Songs and proverbs, all talk of woman's fickleness.

But perhaps you will say, these were all written by men. Yes, yes, if you please, no reference to examples in books. I will not allow books to prove anything.

It is, perhaps, our fate rather than our merit. We cannot help ourselves. We live at home, quiet, confined, and our feelings prey upon us.

You are forced on exertion. You have always a profession, pursuits, business of some sort or other, to take you back into the world immediately, and continual occupation and change soon weaken impressions All the privilege I claim for my own sex it is not a very enviable one, you need not covet it is that of loving longest, when existence or when hope is gone.

He ought not; he does not. I am half agony, half hope View all 11 comments. I liked Persuasion because it deals with a bittersweet theme close to all our hearts: second chances.

Who did not at one point suffer a love disappointment? Anne and Frederick meet again. She must confess to herself that she was not wise yet.

It abounds with common sense maybe too much, for our romantic ideals? As she let herself be persuaded by those supposedly wiser and who should have known better, she set herself for years of suffering and an almost nothingness.

She had seen him. They had met. They had been once more in the same room. Eight years, almost eight years had passed, since all had been given up.

How absurd to be resuming the agitation which such an interval had banished into distance and indistinctness! What might not eight years do? Events of every description, changes, alienations, removals,--all, all must be comprised in it; and oblivion of the past--how natural, how certain too!

It included nearly a third part of her own life. She is sarcastic, subtle and superbly witty. Indeed, Sir Walter Elliot is a complete fool.

He had been remarkably handsome in his youth; and, at fifty -four, was still a very fine man. Few women could think more of their personal appearance than he did, nor could the valet of any new made lord be more delighted with the place he held in society.

He considered the blessing of beauty as inferior only to the blessing of a baronetcy; and the Sir Walter Elliot, who united those gifts, was the constant object of his warmest respect and devotion" The man is completely bankrupt but simply refuses to cut down on his ridiculously high expenditure or sell any of his assets.

He is so obsessed with his outer image that he risks all to keep it in a state of what he perceives as perfection. For her women should be allowed to strive for happiness, a novel idea in her times.

Women should be allowed to marry for love and not only to increase their social standing or for money. However, Persuasion did not enthrall or mesmerize me.

First, she may be in grave peril of ceasing to exist, not physically but rather socially. So, when we meet her, she is almost not there.

We find her overlooked and ignored by virtually all around her. Finally, she comes thru to me as not that noteworthy, "Anne an extremely pretty girl, with gentleness, sense and feeling".

She lacks the vivacity of Emma Woodhouse and the assuredness of Elizabeth Bennet. In fact, I felt for Anne but liked Elizabeth so much better. Nevertheless, not to be missed.

After comment from my dear friend Jean-Paul, I started to doubt myself. Was I too hard with Anne? Can I judge her with 21st century standards?

Certainly not. I could not imagine myself living in her time. Perhaps this out-of-time feeling is what led to my disillusionment.

Could any woman facing such opposition not been persuaded? Difficult to tell, but I am starting to understand.

Make sure your voice is heard. Anne realizes that Captain Wentworth has not yet forgiven her for letting herself be persuaded years ago. Anne and the young adults of the Uppercross family accompany Captain Wentworth on a visit to see two of his fellow officers Captains Harville and James Benwick in the coastal town of Lyme Regis.

They both admire the Romantic poets. Anne attracts the attention of William Elliot, her cousin and the heir to Kellynch Hall, who broke ties with Sir Walter years earlier.

On the last morning of the visit, Louisa sustains a serious concussion. Anne coolly organizes the others to summon assistance. Captain Wentworth is impressed with Anne, but feels guilty about his actions with Louisa, causing him to re-examine his feelings for Anne.

Following Louisa's accident, Anne joins her father and sister Elizabeth in Bath with Lady Russell while Louisa and her parents stay at the Harvilles' in Lyme for her recovery.

Captain Wentworth visits his older brother Edward in Shropshire. Anne finds that her father and sister are flattered by the attentions of Mr William Elliot, recently widowed, who has reconciled with Sir Walter.

Elizabeth assumes that Mr William Elliot wishes to court her. Although Anne likes Mr William Elliot and enjoys his manners, she finds his character opaque.

Wentworth and Anne renew their acquaintance. Anne visits Mrs Smith, an old school friend, who is now a widow living in Bath under strained circumstances.

From her, Anne discovers that beneath Mr William Elliot's charming veneer, he is a cold, calculating opportunist who led Mrs Smith's late husband into debt.

As executor to her husband's will, Mr William Elliot takes no action to improve Mrs Smith's situation. Although Mrs Smith believes that Mr William Elliot is genuinely attracted to Anne, Mrs Smith feels that his first aim is preventing Mrs Clay from marrying Sir Walter as a new marriage might mean a new son, displacing him as heir to Kellynch.

The Musgroves visit Bath to purchase wedding clothes for Louisa and Henrietta, both soon to marry. Captains Wentworth and Harville encounter them and Anne at the Musgroves' hotel in Bath, where Wentworth overhears Anne and Harville discussing the relative faithfulness of men and women in love.

Deeply moved by what Anne says about women not giving up their feelings of love even when all hope is lost, Wentworth writes her a note declaring his feelings for her.

Outside the hotel, Anne and Wentworth reconcile, affirm their love for each other, and renew their engagement. Lady Russell admits she was wrong about Wentworth and befriends the new couple.

Anne settles into life as the wife of a Navy captain. Sir Walter Elliot, Bt. Sir Walter is a man whose extravagance since the death of his prudent wife 13 years before puts his family in financial straits, forcing him to lease his estate Kellynch Hall to Admiral Croft and take a more economical residence in Bath.

Despite being strongly impressed by wealth and status, he allows Mrs Clay, who is beneath him in social standing, in his household as a companion to his eldest daughter.

Elizabeth Elliot — The eldest and most beautiful of Sir Walter's three daughters. Elizabeth encourages her father's imprudent spending and extravagance.

Elizabeth desires marriage and has run the Elliot household since her mother's death 13 years earlier. She and her father regard Anne as inconsequential.

Anne Elliot — The second daughter of Sir Walter. Anne is intelligent, accomplished and attractive, and she is unmarried at 27, having broken off her engagement to Frederick Wentworth, then a naval commander, over seven years earlier.

Anne fell in love with Wentworth but was persuaded by her mentor Lady Russell to reject his proposal because of his poverty, uncertain future, and Anne's youth.

Anne rejects Charles Musgrove's proposal a few years later, knowing she still loves Wentworth. Mary is attention-seeking, always looking for ways she might have been slighted, and often claims illness when she is upset.

She opposes sister-in-law Henrietta's interest in marrying Charles Hayter, who Mary feels is beneath the Musgrove family. Charles Musgrove — Husband of Mary and heir to the Musgrove estate.

He first proposes to Anne, who says no. He marries Mary about five years before the story opens, and they have two sons. He is a cheerful man, who loves hunting and easily endures his wife's faults.

Lady Russell — An intimate friend of the late Lady Elliot and the godmother of Anne, of whom she is particularly fond.

She is instrumental in Sir Walter's decision to leave Kellynch Hall and avoid financial crisis. She values social rank and finds in Anne the Elliot daughter most like her late friend.

She aims to flatter Sir Walter into marriage while her oblivious friend looks on. Captain Frederick Wentworth — A naval officer, about 31 years old, who proposed to Anne some seven years earlier.

At the time, he had no fortune and uncertain prospects, but owing to his achievements in the Napoleonic Wars , he advanced in rank and in fortunes.

He is one of two brothers of Sophia Croft. He is an eminently eligible bachelor. In his naval career, he was a captain when he married, present at the major battle of Trafalgar in , then assigned in the east Indies, and holds the rank of rear admiral of the white.

She is 38 years old. She offers Anne an example of a strong-minded woman who has married for love instead of money and who has a good life as a naval wife.

Louisa Musgrove — Second sister of Charles Musgrove, aged about Louisa is a high-spirited young lady who has returned with her sister from school.

She likes Captain Wentworth and seeks his attention. She is ultimately engaged to Captain Benwick after recovering from her serious fall.

Her brother Charles notices that she is less lively after suffering the concussion. Henrietta Musgrove — Eldest sister of Charles Musgrove.

Henrietta, aged about 20, is informally engaged to her cousin, Charles Hayter, but is tempted by the more dashing Captain Wentworth.

Once Hayter returns home, she again connects with him. Captain Harville — A friend of Captain Wentworth.

Wounded two years previously, he is slightly lame. Wentworth has not seen his friend since the time of that injury.

Harville and his family are settled in nearby Lyme for the winter. His wife tends to Louisa, and the children come to stay with the Musgroves for the Christmas holiday.

Benwick was engaged to marry Captain Harville's sister Fanny, but she died while Benwick was at sea. He gained prize money as a lieutenant and was promoted to commander thus called Captain.

Benwick's enjoyment of reading gives him a connection with Anne as does her willingness to listen to him in his time of deep sadness.

Benwick was with Louisa Musgrove during her recovery, at the end of which they become engaged to marry. Mr William Elliot — A distant relation "great grandson of the second Sir Walter" when it is not stated from which Sir Walter the present one descends and the heir presumptive of Sir Walter.

It is later revealed that, beneath his charming veneer, Mr Elliot is a cold, calculating opportunist. Mr Elliot became estranged from the family when he wed a woman of lower social rank for her fortune and actively insulted Sir Walter.

He is a widower, who has interest in the social value of the title that he will someday inherit. He mends the rupture to keep an eye on the ambitious Mrs Clay.

Rumours circulate in Bath that Anne and he are attached. Mrs Smith is a widow who suffers ill health and financial difficulties. She keeps abreast of the doings of Bath society through news she gets from her nurse, Rooke, who tends the wife of a friend of William Elliot's.

Her financial problems could have been straightened out with assistance from William Elliot, her husband's friend and executor of his will, but Elliot would not exert himself, leaving her much impoverished.

Wentworth eventually acts on her behalf. Lady Dalrymple — A viscountess , cousin to Sir Walter. She occupies an exalted position in society by virtue of wealth and rank.

Sir Walter and Elizabeth are eager to be seen at Bath in the company of this great relation. Readers of Persuasion might conclude that Austen intended "persuasion" to be the unifying theme of the story as the idea of persuasion runs through the book, with vignettes within the story as variations on that theme.

The literary scholar Gillian Beer establishes that Austen had profound concerns about the levels and applications of "persuasion" employed in society, especially as it related to the pressures and choices facing the young women of her day.

Beer writes that for Austen and her readers, persuasion was indeed "fraught with moral dangers"; [1] : xv she notes particularly that Austen personally was appalled by what she came to regard as her own misguided advice to her beloved niece Fanny Knight on the very question of whether Fanny ought to accept a particular suitor, even though it would have meant a protracted engagement.

Beer writes:. Jane Austen's anxieties about persuasion and responsibility are here passionately expressed.

The story concerns Anne Elliot, a young Englishwoman of 27 years, whose family is moving to lower their expenses and get out of debt.

They rent their home to an Admiral and his wife. This sets the scene for many humorous encounters as well as a second, well-considered chance at love and marriage for Anne in her second "bloom".

Everything seems to combine to prevent Anne and Captain Wentworth from ever being able to come to an understanding again: his bitter feelings, her faded looks mostly through unhappiness; she's only 28 or 29 , and other, younger girls vying for his attention, which he's only too happy to give them.

Austen's intelligence, dry wit and humor are evidenced on every page. The melancholy, autumnal feel of the first part of the book, when all you can see is Anne's blighted hopes and how she is disregarded and mistreated by almost everyone around her, is wrenching.

Then, like springtime, comes the slow, gradual return of joy and hope to Anne's life. I loved the energy and achievements of the military characters, as opposed to the stagnant, superficial aristocracy.

And mostly: That Letter. The characters tend to be a little bit one-dimensional: Anne Elliot is so unfailingly noble and kind and self-sacrificing; her family members are so invariably shallow and hard-hearted and self-centered.

I got quite tired of Anne's nerves or whatever getting overwrought and her needing to retire to meditate in solitude to recover her self-possession; it happened All.

Anyone who thinks Fanny in Mansfield Park is a bit of a stick in the mud needs to take a closer look at Anne. And the last line of the book is still vaguely anticlimactic to me; I keep thinking Jane might have come up with a better ending if she'd had more time to polish the book.

Still, there's so much to love in Persuasion , and the good far outweighs the bad for me. And I'm a romantic and a hopeful person at heart, so the persistence of love through the years, and the ability of the characters with a little luck to work through injured pride on the one side, and unsupportive family and friends on the other, and find lasting happiness together, warms my heart.

While ploughing through Lucy Ellmann's Ducks, Newburyport recently, the frequent references to Jane Austen's Persuasion prompted me to take this neat book down from its place on a high shelf alongside its five sisters and keep it within view as a kind of incentive to finish Ellmann's page tome.

As it turned out, I didn't need an incentive to finish Ducks because it self-propelled in the second half, but even so, I still offered myself the pleasure of re-reading Persuasion once I'd finished While ploughing through Lucy Ellmann's Ducks, Newburyport recently, the frequent references to Jane Austen's Persuasion prompted me to take this neat book down from its place on a high shelf alongside its five sisters and keep it within view as a kind of incentive to finish Ellmann's page tome.

As it turned out, I didn't need an incentive to finish Ducks because it self-propelled in the second half, but even so, I still offered myself the pleasure of re-reading Persuasion once I'd finished it.

There's nothing I like better than when one book leads naturally to another without me having to scratch my head and wonder what might make a good follow-on to what I've been immersed in.

The narrator of Ducks is well versed in all of Jane Austen's novels. She ponders on the dilemma of Marianne and Willoughby from Sense and Sensibility when confronted with an issue between her temperamental daughter and a good-for-nothing boyfriend.

She mentions Emma Woodhouse a few times, and several characters from Pride and Prejudice too—indeed Mrs Bennett's famous line, "You have no compassion for my poor nerves" becomes a kind of unspoken mantra in Ellmann's book.

But the Austen character who is most often referenced is Anne Elliot, the main character of Persuasion.

Ellmann's narrator identifies strongly with Anne. They both spent their childhoods in beautiful houses which their families no longer have access to.

They are both very attached to the memory of their mothers whom they lost in their early teens, and the loss of the mother continues to influence their lives in different ways.

Of course the two books are very different in other respects, Ellmann's being a wide-ranging commentary on world issues of today including vast numbers of references to film, literature and poetry while Austen's is a very contained account of a little slice of English life in the early s, with very few literary references.

The two such references I found are brief and easily glossed over—if I noticed them in previous reads, I moved on from them just as quickly.

But I'm a different reader now and I love to find hints of other works in the literature I read. The first reference I spotted was to 18th century poet, Mathew Prior's Henry and Emma which tells of a test of loyalty which a lover imposes on his loved one: Emma must overcome a series of challenges in order to prove her constancy to Henry.

Austen inserts the reference to Prior's poem just when Anne Elliot is being asked by the man she has loved for years to nurse back to health the girl he now seems to be in love with, so the story of Henry setting trials for Emma seems very apt indeed.

And as we read on through Anne Elliot's story, we see the parallel more and more as Anne's constancy is further tested. The second literary reference I came across is less significant to the plot and more connected to Austen's people watching skills, which is the aspect of her writing I admire the most.

How perceptive of people's foibles she must have been to be able to transfer to the page brief character sketches which manage to contain a host of subtle information especially relating to the more ludicrous traits of the personalities of her characters.

In her other novels, there are portraits of ridiculous figures aplenty: Mrs Bennet, Mr Collins, Miss Bates, Mr Woodhouse, and several others I could mention, but surely none are so comically outrageous as super-conceited Sir Walter Eliot and his equally puffed-up daughters Elizabeth and Mary.

The very modest Anne is sorely tried, as if she needed the extra challenge, in having them for family! However, there is one occasion when Anne makes an effort to put herself forward in the pushy manner of her family, but she is immediately self-aware enough to laugh at herself for the attempt : She could not do so, without comparing herself with Miss Larolles, the inimitable Miss Larolles.

As there is no character called Miss Larolles in this book, and Jane Austen doesn't elaborate further, I guessed the inimitable Miss Larolles must be a literary figure who would be familiar to Austen's readers.

And so she is, as I found when I looked her up. She is a very ridiculous character from Fanny Burney's Cecilia , which was written about thirty five years before Austen wrote Persuasion.

Burney's is a long book, quite as long as Ducks, Newburyport , but I'm happily reading it at the moment, finding other parallels with Austen's books, and relieved once again that one book has led me directly to another.

I absolutely loved Anne as a main character, and Captain Wentworth was such a fitting companion for her that I was hooked, dying to find out how their lives played out.

This book made me feel a lot of things-- especially the feeling that comes with crying at 4 AM about fictional men-- and I'm thoroughly surprised that such an old book still remains touching and relatable.

I just wish that Austen implemented more dialogue in her writing, which is why I took off half a star; I feel like sometimes the book was bogged down with too many paragraphs of thought and not enough spoken word.

Basically, get off my lawn, kids. I mean it In all seriousness, this is the first Jane Austen book that does not feature a pretty and charming teenager looking for a perfect match in a cultured and rich gentleman.

Instead, her protagonist Anne Elliot is well into the respectable age of seven-and-twenty, equipped with composure and maturity th Dear Miss Austen, Ummm Instead, her protagonist Anne Elliot is well into the respectable age of seven-and-twenty, equipped with composure and maturity that only age can bring.

Hey, maybe advanced age is not so bad, after all! But I happily maintain that mentally I'm still eleven. Oh, and as I said, get off my lawn!

Anne finds herself in a quite uncomfortable situation. Years ago, she was engaged to a dashing young sailor whom she subsequently rejected on the well-meaning but ultimately flawed advice of a trusted friend.

Now that sailor, having transformed into a respectable and well-to-do, and still dashing Captain Wentworth, reenters Anne's circle of acquaintances, clearly still resenting Anne, and appears to be actively looking for a younger prettier future spouse.

All that while Anne, ruined by age just kidding, she is still quite pretty, as it turns out realizes she still harbors her old affection for him but needs of course!

On top of all of that, Anne has the most rotten family! Her father is a pathetic handsome gentleman unhealthily obsessed with his own good looks I mean, the man has a bedroom full of mirrors!

Her younger sister will claw your eyes out if she were to think you'd eclipse her as a center of attention even for a minute this is a woman who feels slighted if her dying son gets more attention than she does , and will spend hours sending little verbal put-downs in Anne's direction while shamelessly using her help for anything imaginable.

And yet, this pathetic creature is still " not so repulsive and unsisterly as Elizabeth" , the older sister. Oh, and they have to downsize because all the vain and shallow family members are quite rotten at preserving the family fortune.

Basically, to sum up:. Anne Elliot is a well-mannered, reasonable, proper, and sensible heroine. Good thing she is NOT the one narrating this story, or it would have been quite bland.

Instead, we are treated to a quite snarky albeit within strict earlyth-century British sensibilities narrative voice, picking apart all of our characters and their environment with a lovely and a bit sarcastic commentary.

Ah, Miss Austen, you were really getting fed up with your well-mannered society, weren't you? And I love it. I love how delightfully drama-free this story is.

No huge events, no shocking twists, nothing except for reasonable behavior and not-too-exciting provincial life well, in all honesty, excepting two near-fatal falls, at least one of which was getting me all worried about epidural vs.

The only hint of strong passion is in a short letter from Wentworth to Anne, and even then the declaration of love is done in a subdued epistolary form.

And it is precisely this quiet flow of the story that creates an enjoyable atmosphere, strangely. We none of us expect to be in smooth water all our days.

The most admirable people in this book are not the gentlemen by birth, unlike the proverbial Mr. Darcy ughh but the naval officers and their circles - Wentworth and the Crofts especially.

It's like Austen was finally acknowledging that it's not only the birth into the gentry class that makes you a decent person. Way to go, Miss Austen!

Congratulations on succeeding in making all your hypocritical gentlemen with overblown feeling of self-importance appear to be total idiots like they should be: " A man is in greater danger in the navy of being insulted by the rise of one whose father, his father might have disdained to speak to, and of becoming prematurely an object of disgust himself, than in any other line.

It does not quite reach the 4-star enjoyment of Jane Eyre , but it is a delightful book with which to spend an overcast day filled with bronchitis cough.

She thought it could scarcely escape him to feel that a persuadable temper might sometimes be as much in favour of happiness as a very resolute character.

And this comes from someone who is well-accustomed to Austen's often whiny, vain, and hilariously self-deluded characters who serve as comedy gold and tools of subtle social commentary.

But somehow in this posthumously published work, I feel she focused her attentions on lathering an extra layer of vindictiveness on to many of the pla It's a worrisome affair if you have to plod through an Austen work all the while unsuccessfully battling the urge to slap more than half of the central characters.

But somehow in this posthumously published work, I feel she focused her attentions on lathering an extra layer of vindictiveness on to many of the players.

Additionally, the first three quarters of the narrative progressed in the most lacklustre manner possible with little to no development on any front.

No dramatic confrontations, emotionally charged conversations, simmering sexual tension or witty, flirty banter to spice things up. The overwhelming blandness of it all felt too close to real life situations.

But of course, this is Austen. The same woman whose remarkable insight on the condition of women is reflected in a letter to one of her correspondents a hundred years ago.

Single women have a dreadful propensity for being poor-which is one very strong argument in favour of Matrimony. The same woman who rescued the English novel from the tenacious grip of the age of sentiment and genre trope hysterics of the gothic novel to give it a truly modern form.

The same woman who tried to challenge the laws that governed social interaction of the times by placing as great an emphasis on moral behaviour as on class-based identity.

And this very same woman makes Anne Elliot her mouthpiece while arraigning the convention of woman-shaming that contemporary male novelists upheld with gusto and a latent smugness.

Men have had every advantage of us in telling their own story. Education has been theirs in so much higher a degree; the pen has been in their hands.

I will not allow books to prove any thing. So yes my dwindling interest in the book and abrupt loss of faith in Austen's brilliance lasted only for a few disappointing pages before she turned things around quite climactically.

At the ripe age of twenty-seven, Anne Elliot maybe one of Austen's least remarkable heroines. Neither does she possess Emma's sass and cool confidence nor does she exude Elizabeth's unwavering self-esteem and channel a sardonic indifference towards her social superiors.

And yet she never backs down from defending members of her own sex from unsavory remarks based on hollow prejudices.

It is a difference of opinion which does not admit of proof. We each begin probably with a little bias towards our own sex, and upon that bias build every circumstance in favour of it which has ocurred within our circle; many of which circumstances perhaps those very cases which strike us the most may be precisely such as cannot be brought forward without betraying a confidence, or in some respect saying what should not be said.

So persuasion. The excellence of this book's central premise is that it establishes Anne Elliot as a woman who is consistent in love and errs only on the side of caution even though outwardly she is perceived as a pushover, one who yields easily to persuasion and incitement.

Long story short, Austen ingeniously misled both her hero and her reader to the wrong conclusions about the heroine.

And she knew how exactly to subvert the power dynamics of hierarchical social structures while simultaneously preserving the veneer of conformity.

If that's not genius, I don't know what is. View all 47 comments. Persuasion by Jane Austen is a Enhanced Media publication. Originally published in A wonderfully pleasant classic by one of my favorite writers.

While there are already plenty of reviews for this book, I just wanted to share my experience of it with you. Up front, I must confess, this book, while listed as a favorite by many, is not mine, mainly because of the time it took to get to the meat of the story, and I felt the momentum dragged in some places.

I loved that! I also enjoyed the themes explored, concerning character traits, and the misjudgment, or maybe the PRE- judgment of those traits, while also touching on the disadvantages of remaining totally one- dimensional.

This story also delves into the complexities of family, friendship, and of course love, and is well balanced and rounded.

The writing of course is quite different from what we are accustomed to, or I should say, what I'm accustomed to, and at times the wordiness was challenging, but I did appreciate the manners, and activities described, and the characterizations.

And honestly, how was she at such a young age to know the difference between a guy who says he's going to work hard and make it big and does , and a guy who says he's going to work hard and make it big, but turns out to be a lazy doofus?

Because we all know that one poor idiot who didn't ask enough questions, thought that love was the only thing you needed, and trusted in her man's good sense too much.

Anne did lose the love of her life due to caution. She also didn't end up with some hippie stoner who sat on her couch all day and talked about his plans to teach the cat to play the harmonica.

Life's a balancing act, ladies. I like this one. Anne isn't some twit who sits around blubbering about it, but you also get that she loved Frederick very much.

It's the age-old story of the one that got away and you're genuinely rooting for her the entire time. I gotta admit, I wasn't all that crazy about him at the beginning of the book when it looked like he was flirting with the cute young ladies in front of her.

But then I realized that she had broken his seafaring heart into sad little pieces, and maybe he deserved a bit of payback. Ok, so the most memorable part of the story to me was this scene where this married couple were driving along in their carriage and she kept telling him how to drive.

Just goes to show you, underneath it all, things aren't really much different. And it's nice to know that people have always been kind of nuts.

I really enjoyed this. I really like that by the end you get to move a bit out of the head of the main character, away from her self-deprecations and almost masochistic lacerations and get to see what Captain Wentworth actually did think of her — rather than her-less-than-self-congratulatory version.

Okay, it is all very romantic — but what I found most interesting in this book was how I felt compelled to consider how much of the world we learn by having it reported to us.

There is always a layer of reality below which we can only ever guess at — and that is what is really going on in the minds of others. Sometimes we do discover something of this — and that might either bring joy or pain — but otherwise we construct and reconstruct the world on the best narrative we can make from the frowns or smiles of those around us, glimpsed however imperfectly in the twinkling of a moment.

A while ago I took a very dear friend of mine to the local art gallery and showed her a couple of little statue things they have there of two old women.

The artist has created these two miniature people — two homunculi who are engrossed in the conversation they whisper between themselves.

If you view them from the front they look to be talking away quite contentedly — almost conspiratorially - but as you move around to view them from the back you see that one of them looks very anxious, perhaps almost about to cry, perhaps oddly frightened.

The guesses we make on the motivations and desires of others are always partial, always mixed up with our own motivations and desires and misattributions.

So it is that Anne Elliot spends much of the novel — perhaps a woman a little too good for this world. She can even watch on with quiet resignation as the man she loves seems to be choosing someone else to marry.

There are many interesting themes in this book — class distinctions and their worth in judging the value of someone, when to take the advice of someone and when not to, how jealousy has much to recommend it in regaining the love of your ex.

Mary and her father are masterworks in the description of the obnoxious in human form — the botched soul. The idea that real feeling, the hope of a truly happy marriage, can only be based on the common rationality of the couple at hand.

Love is a mingling of minds, rather than bodies. Love, then, is a version of that highest type of friendship that our old mate Aristotle was so fond of — and that life cruelly teaches us is so incredibly rare for us with people of either sex.

Still, I guess all would be well if not for those damn hormones. And of everyone in the book poor old Benwick probably cops the worst press - for not being constant enough to the memory of his recently departed ex-wife.

The discussion at this point reminded me a bit of Hamlet whinging about his mum and uncle. But this does all end up with that most wonderful of quotes — where Anne says that women may not love deeper, but that they do love longer, even after all hope is gone.

If you are going to get a slap in a piece of classic fiction, it is probably best that it happen in a way that results in such a line. The fact she is almost moved to tears after saying this line and that it is basically the turning point of the entire book really is a lovely thing.

If only in life it could be that saying the utterly perfect thing would reap such rich rewards… But then, I guess that does rather put the onus on finding the utterly perfect thing to say.

Her nobel family is completely opposed to her and living in excess, forcing them to move to get out of debt.

They rent their home to an Admiral and his wife, who's brother, Navy Captain Frederick Wentworth, had been engaged to Anne eight years before.

Anne broke off their engagement, because she was pressured by her dead mothers best friend. Now they meet again after the Napoleonic war, in which Wentworth made a fortune with the Royal Navy.

Persuasion is different from her other works. Ausrens usual light and glow writing with "sparkle and spirit", is replaced by more mature writing.

It still has lightness, but there is more emotion, depth, warmth and color in it. Like most Austen heroines, Anne is witty, clever, and considerate, but she is not the prettiest.

She takes pride in practicality, intellect, and patience, is neither catty, flighty, nor hysterical. She is conscious of the social structure, and though she may seek a bit more flexibility, she by no means wishes to seriously challenge notions of class.

The Love Story This time Austen tells a love story, that is more mature. A love that has survived eight years of separation.

She uses a mixture of dialogue and reported speech, to allow an emotional writing of Anne's feelings; her pain and suffering for having given up the man she loved; and the pain that comes with meeting him again.

He approaches her with coldness and rejection and she falls in agony; having to watch him pursue other women very much younger than her; her knowledge that her once pretty looks are no longer attractive to him.

Her believe that she has lost every chance to be happy with him and her profound realization, that she still loves him deeply.

The beauty of Anne depends on her character remaining the same, she needs to remain true to herself, and cherish the memory of the ones she loved.

Anne's love for Wentworth is the only fixed point in an otherwise fluid world and the focus on memory makes it her most lyrical work. Social Class Royal Navy during the Napoleon war Class rigidity and social mobility are important themes of the novel.

Austen pictures two ways to improve ones social standing: marriage and going to war to become a Navy officer. This changes with Persuasion, where she pictures the Napoleonic war as virtue, leading officers to wealth.

They already look foreword to the next war. Her social commentary and criticism are very limited; she defends the values and traditions, but still shows support of greater social mobility.

In the Navy one rises up via one's talents, not via birth and land, which makes it her most radical of all of novels.

Annes snobby and arrogant father, who is financially incompetent dismisses naval officers for have risen "too quickly" in social status, whereas Wentworth uses his earned money wisely.

Two of Austens brothers were Navy officers, perhaps her tribute to them. Architecture drawing of the families extravagance But Austens sets rules and limits to social ambition.

Annes father is punished for his selfishness and excess. He spends more money than he has and indulges in unneccessary luxury, causing him to loose his home.

She exposes the snobbiness, arrogance and vanity of the nobels and mocks them with sarcasm, while hinting at their decline of superiority, through the decline in wealth.

Thereby she presents two different versions of the English gentleman. Her father is the traditional, land-owning, titled man who avoids work and seeks comfort, while the naval officers are working men who have made their own fortunes.

Though their manners are impeccable, they are not of the same high social rank. In this period of English history, the definition of a 'gentleman' was growing increasingly more flexible.

Austen is conservative in her respect for class traditions, but she does recognize the advantages of greater social flexibility. Traditional Role Models The doctrine in the 19th century was a separation between the public and the domestic life.

Traditionally male would be in charge of the public domain finances, legal matters, war etc. Austen questions this idea.

She introduces the Crofts, an example of a happy, ideal marriage, that share the spheres of their life. Croft joins her husband on his ships at sea, and Admiral Croft helps his wife with the chores around the home.

They even share the task of driving a carriage. Annes younger sister Mery has married a gentry and therefore lost social status, which makes her fall into self pity and some kind of Münchhausen-syndrom to get attention and care.

She completely fails to take care of her children, getting close to abandonment. Her little son has an accident and is badly injured.

At first his recovery is unclear and lasting damage is likely. Anne fills that void, takes over the responsibility and even seeks pride in it.

In this situation, surrounded by several men, as well as women, Anne is the only one who can keep a clear head and manages the crisis. Considering that those men were Navy officers, just coming back from war, it seems significant.

Anne takes control over the situation, acts reasonable and once more proves her reliability and her ability to take on responsibilities. I appreciated that she took topics outside of marriage, like injury and death into her story while still combining it with the love for literature.

Austen convinced me at last and I might re-read her other books as well, maybe I experience them differently now. View all 30 comments. Persuasion is said to be the best work of Jane Austen.

While I have reservations on that conviction, I do see why it is said so. Persuasion is quite different from most of her preceding work.

In many of them, her writing is light and glows with "sparkle and spirit". But in Persuasion , her spirited and sparkle writing is replaced by more mature writing.

It is still light but there are more warmth and emotion in her writing as well as more depth and colour. In short, Jane Austen has written Persuasion with so much feeling to make it stand tall among all her other work.

The main female protagonist, Anne Elliot, is a mature heroine who has lost her "youth and bloom" over the years as a result of her pining for a lost love.

She is unloved and neglected by the family except by the dear friend Lady Russel. But she is courageous and has a superior, cultivated mind to bear all indifference and to endure her loss without resentment.

Anne reminded me of Cinderella; the only difference was that she had an indifferent father instead of a wicked stepmother.

Anne is strong. She is self-made, kind, and has a keen intelligence. She secures her happiness more or less by her means supported by circumstances rather than any support rendered by family or friends.

Anne stands out from most of Austen heroines. Perhaps she is equal in stamina to the much loved Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice.

And I don't know if it is because of my partiality and obsession with Elizabeth Bennet over the years, but I couldn't help feeling that Anne is sort of a mature version of Elizabeth, only that Elizabeth would not have been easily persuaded.

Captain Wentworth is yet another beloved hero and could easily be placed in line with Darcy, Knightley, and Colonel Brandon.

I'm amazed at Jane Austen's ability to create these heroes and heroines who are felt so real and who would undoubtedly occupy a place in all reader's hearts.

No Austen hero or heroine is ever forgotten and for centuries they have survived to become "immortal".

Like in all Jane Austen's work, Persuasion too has a sweet love story. But unlike in others, it is a mature love; one that was found, lost, and found again; one that has endured an eight and half years of separation.

And what is more striking is Austen's excellent and emotional writing of Anne's feelings: her pain and suffering for having given up the man she loved; her painful situation at having to meet him after eight and half years; her pain at his cool reception of her; her agony in watching of him pursue another woman very much younger than her; her knowledge that her once pretty looks and youth have been robbed over the years and she would no longer be attractive in his eyes.

All these emotions are detailed and beautifully and touchingly expressed that they almost broke my heart. In addition, there is also Austen's social commentary, criticism, and realism.

Through the characters of Sir Walter, Elizabeth, and Mary, she exposes the vanity of the titled and mocks them for their air of superiority.

At the same time, she gently hints at the decline of superiority maintained by the titled class through the declining in a wealth of Sir Walter and shows the emergence of a new wealthy class in Naval Officers who would gradually elevate their position in the society with their wealth, gaining respect and admiration.

Two brothers of Jane Austen were Navy officers and perhaps, this was her tribute to them. Overall, it is a beautiful book. I loved every minute of reading it.

And I believe this will be my most favourite of Jane Austen novel. Apr 18, Katerina rated it really liked it Shelves: classics , reads.

Her biting commentary on social situations and arrangements, on people and relationships is always top-notch; I would gladly read her grocery list if it offered such caustic insight on potatoes and cabbage.

Even though I prefer Pride and Prejudice , I have to admit that her heartwarming touch on emotions varying between jealousy, admiration, resignation and love, young and enthusiastic love that develops into mature, all-encompassing agape , is truly unique.

They make her stories complete, there's always intrigue, twists and revelations that, while not monumental, add a touch of spice and complement the main couple.

I wanted more time with them, watching them tiptoeing around their past and their still lingering feelings, absorbing their affection and connection.

For the past few years, I've chosen one favorite book to reread during winter break. Last year it was Jane Eyre , the year before it was Emma.

They are wonderful company! Anne is wise and well-spoken, considerate of others, and eager to help wherever she can.

Captain Wentworth is a gentleman, thoughtful and courteous. He is conscious of Anne's virtues and her value as a companion, and he hopes to secure her l For the past few years, I've chosen one favorite book to reread during winter break.

He is conscious of Anne's virtues and her value as a companion, and he hopes to secure her love again. You see, Frederick and Anne first fell in love when she was 19, but he had no money, and her family objected to the match.

So Anne was persuaded to refuse him. Eight years later, Frederick has returned to the neighborhood and is now a wealthy naval captain.

He is single and is looking for a wife. Anne is also single and still loves him. In truth, she has been waiting for him.

But can he forgive her for refusing him all those years ago? They'll have to work through a few obstacles to find out.

Since Anne and Frederick are creations of the inimitable Jane Austen, you can be sure that although our hero and heroine have great worth, this novel also features relatives of such vanity and silliness as to make you both wince and laugh in amusement.

Anne's father and sisters are ridiculously full of themselves and judge everyone to be beneath them, save perhaps for royalty.

One of my favorite scenes in the book is when Anne goes to visit her whiny sister Mary, and everyone in the family takes turns pulling Anne aside to secretly complain about Mary, begging her to do something.

Poor Anne, always caught in the middle! I am not sure when I first read Persuasion , but it's likely been a decade since I last opened it, so this reread was a true delight.

Austen's insight into her characters, their feelings and motivations, is so profound that I always marvel at how cleverly and artfully she wrote them.

Take this first description of Anne's foppish father: Vanity was the beginning and the end of Sir Walter Elliot's character; vanity of person and of situation.

He had been remarkably handsome in his youth; and, at fifty-four, was still a very fine man. Few women could think more of their personal appearance than he did; nor could the valet of any new made lord be more delighted with the place he held in society.

He considered the blessing of beauty as inferior only to the blessing of a baronetcy; and the Sir Walter Elliot, who united these gifts, was the constant object of his warmest respect and devotion.

And we quickly see how little Sir Walter appreciates his daughter, Anne, and how much she is ignored by her vain sister Elizabeth Last year I also reread Sense and Sensibility , and in that book, I was struck by how well Austen described those who were vain and silly.

There is plenty of that in Persuasion , but there are also excellent descriptions of love and feeling, and of the agony that only the heartsick person knows, that it shows the author's maturity.

This novel was completed in , and Miss Austen died the following year. I think her powers of observation and insight were never greater.

While I think this to be a splendid novel, if you are new to Jane Austen, I do not think I would start here.

I would recommend Pride and Prejudice to the novice; Persuasion should be delayed until you are ready. It is a treat all the more worth savoring because you have waited for it.

Favorite Quotes "How quick come the reasons for approving what we like. None of us want to be in calm waters all our lives.

If there is any thing disagreeable going on, men are always sure to get out of it. Elliot, is the company of clever, well-informed people, who have a great deal of conversation; that is what I call good company.

Good company requires only birth, education, and manners, and with regard to education is not very nice. Songs and proverbs, all talk of woman's fickleness.

But perhaps you will say, these were all written by men. Yes, yes, if you please, no reference to examples in books. I will not allow books to prove anything.

It is, perhaps, our fate rather than our merit. We cannot help ourselves. We live at home, quiet, confined, and our feelings prey upon us.

You are forced on exertion. You have always a profession, pursuits, business of some sort or other, to take you back into the world immediately, and continual occupation and change soon weaken impressions All the privilege I claim for my own sex it is not a very enviable one, you need not covet it is that of loving longest, when existence or when hope is gone.

He ought not; he does not. I am half agony, half hope View all 11 comments. I liked Persuasion because it deals with a bittersweet theme close to all our hearts: second chances.

Who did not at one point suffer a love disappointment? Anne and Frederick meet again. She must confess to herself that she was not wise yet.

It abounds with common sense maybe too much, for our romantic ideals? As she let herself be persuaded by those supposedly wiser and who should have known better, she set herself for years of suffering and an almost nothingness.

She had seen him. They had met. They had been once more in the same room. Eight years, almost eight years had passed, since all had been given up.

How absurd to be resuming the agitation which such an interval had banished into distance and indistinctness!

What might not eight years do? Events of every description, changes, alienations, removals,--all, all must be comprised in it; and oblivion of the past--how natural, how certain too!

It included nearly a third part of her own life. She is sarcastic, subtle and superbly witty. Indeed, Sir Walter Elliot is a complete fool. He had been remarkably handsome in his youth; and, at fifty -four, was still a very fine man.

Few women could think more of their personal appearance than he did, nor could the valet of any new made lord be more delighted with the place he held in society.

He considered the blessing of beauty as inferior only to the blessing of a baronetcy; and the Sir Walter Elliot, who united those gifts, was the constant object of his warmest respect and devotion" The man is completely bankrupt but simply refuses to cut down on his ridiculously high expenditure or sell any of his assets.

He is so obsessed with his outer image that he risks all to keep it in a state of what he perceives as perfection.

For her women should be allowed to strive for happiness, a novel idea in her times. Women should be allowed to marry for love and not only to increase their social standing or for money.

However, Persuasion did not enthrall or mesmerize me. First, she may be in grave peril of ceasing to exist, not physically but rather socially.

So, when we meet her, she is almost not there. We find her overlooked and ignored by virtually all around her. Finally, she comes thru to me as not that noteworthy, "Anne an extremely pretty girl, with gentleness, sense and feeling".

She lacks the vivacity of Emma Woodhouse and the assuredness of Elizabeth Bennet. In fact, I felt for Anne but liked Elizabeth so much better.

Nevertheless, not to be missed. After comment from my dear friend Jean-Paul, I started to doubt myself. Was I too hard with Anne? Can I judge her with 21st century standards?

Certainly not. I could not imagine myself living in her time. Perhaps this out-of-time feeling is what led to my disillusionment. Could any woman facing such opposition not been persuaded?

Difficult to tell, but I am starting to understand. View all 23 comments. Mar 21, Julie rated it it was amazing Shelves: favorite-books , the-british-invasion.

During her lifetime, Jane Austen's geographic trajectory was far smaller than mine, but, despite the differences in our travels, we both arrived at the same conclusion: the greatest journeys we take are the ones within our own hearts and minds.

One of the greatest Austen journeys is this one. Anne Elliot long ago crawled into my consciousness, and there she has remained. Even when I return to Persuasion to find her trapped in time, ri During her lifetime, Jane Austen's geographic trajectory was far smaller than mine, but, despite the differences in our travels, we both arrived at the same conclusion: the greatest journeys we take are the ones within our own hearts and minds.

Even when I return to Persuasion to find her trapped in time, right where I left her on those very same pages, I find that, inexplicably, she has changed.

Anne represents a sort of universal suffering. She is non-essential; she is invisible. She experiences very few acts of kindness or care for her person.

She is also almost completely alone here, having buried a beloved mother and said goodbye to the only man that she has ever loved. Anne's days are long and empty and she carries her pain with an admirable stoicism that I, an ever-sassy and petulant Elizabeth Bennet-type, can hardly even contemplate.

Anne is a beloved creature, a dear friend, to me. I want to study her, wonder what it must feel like to be her, too. When I watch her character bloom under new travels, new friendships and new love interests, I feel like I, too, have been given a new day to contemplate.

And Captain Wentworth. Darcy, in my opinion. One of Austen's best leading men. So very flawed, so very resentful, and so very.
