Persuasion

Persuasion is one of the most amazing books, written by British novelist Jane Austen in 1817. It is her last work that she finished and it is so lovely that it evokes love, sorrow for the things left unsaid, and clocks – time. Major characters of the novel are analyzed in this paper, The main protagonist of the story is Anne Elliot, a young woman who may be described as intelligent, kind, and very thoughtful. Sharma places her heroine in early 19th century Britain and paints the picture of love and social problems she faced.

Anne is the daughter of Sir Walter Elliot whose only interest seems to be his ego as well as being a baronet. When the family faces financial difficulties they have to let out of their estate, Kellynch Hall, and move to Bath.

Throughout the narration, the audience finds the struggle in the main character Anne as well as her personal development. Happiness and disappointment are two major motifs presented in Austen’s novel especially the feeling of Anne getting another chance with Wentworth. The story has many dramatic effects, which indicate the feeling of loss and the difficult life situations in people's relationships. Anne also being a true character learns about herself and the world as she manages her feelings and as society expects.

First, the novel successfully presents persuasion as one of its themes. Making the choice, society interferes with a man’s life, and he is forced to choose what he does not want. Anne’s story is a potent entertainment of remaining consistent with oneself depending on how the world puts pressure on people. Anne Rand is the main character of the book and her demeanor is highly relatable to many people, especially despite the eccentric personalities of, many surrounding her.

Austen’s choice of words is quite witty, and oftentimes her observations concerning the main characters concern themselves with provincial manners and etiquette. Her characters are easy to comprehend and faithfully reflect the examples from contemporary society. While the self-righteous Sir Walter and the worldly, appealing Mr. Elliot are the primary characters that cast light on Anne, the supporting characters advance the plot and reveal her merits.

The temporal progression in the novel is also logical and one can follow on with the lives of the characters and modify society. The dialogues are excellent, and most of the time provoking, which shows a striking and witty part of Austen. The realism of the described locations and the spiritual density of the main characters make a rather impressive impression.

Indeed, Persuasion is a message of hope and forgiveness. It focuses on the theme of love, but with an additional meaning that suggests that love can withstand the test of time. In both coping with her size self-acceptance and in the coming together and reunion with Wentworth, Anne gets to have a happy ending that any reader can easily embrace.

All in all, Persuasion is another work of art that remains fascinating for young people as for representatives of older generations. Be it the themes of love, regret, or the payout of human interactions, Jane Austen’s work should be on anyone's must-read list of classic books. This book will enamorate any Audense beginner or veteran with merriment, love, and steadfastness of one’s character.

I love Persuasion as well. I don’t know if that really happens in real life? I can hope! 🙂 Although I love the brashness of Mr. Darcy, I will admit to really loving the way Wentworth pines for Anne over such a length of time. I also very fond of Film Version of Pride and Prejudice Year 1955.

"Persuasion" and "Pride and Prejudice" (P&P) are definitely Jane Austen's best novels... however "Persuasion" is the superior novel.

While P&P is a more fun book, about landed gentry, pressure to marry etc. Persuasion is a novel about persistent love and deep feeling.

You will fall in love with Captain Wentworth, I guarantee it! :)

Jane Austen's maturity comes through in this novel. It's an excellent read and the characters are well done.

Persuasion imo is a much better, if not the best, Austen story when it comes to arguing in favour of the heroine's plight and her never-smooth struggles thru life to keep constant, if u will, to that one great love of her heart despite the then presiding fact that it would prove to be a lost endeavour.

To that end, it is only Emma that almost resembles Anne among the list of Austen female protagonists that will not admit to another lover to replace or spite their first and foremost one.

Nevertheless, Anne's great virtue does little to merit her ordinary physical appearance courtesy of Ms. Austen...

Persuasion is considered Jane Austen's most mature novel by many. Of her 6 major novels, this is my personal favorite. Ms. Austen's wit, talent for writing dialogue and developing complex, characters shines.

This novel is a story of an experience many of us have lived - one of great love lost and regretted. Anne Elliott gets a second chance at love she was once persuaded to forego.

Pay attention to the first 2 chapters. The development of the characters is fantastic.
