such a beloved story

"Persuasion" is my favorite besides P&P. In my eyes, stories like this are the romances that appeal to me the most, more than "Pride" and "Prejudice".

The first time I remembered this book was when the heroine left the book at the train station in the lake house and said it was a story about missing out. At that time, I had only read Pride and Prejudice, but after reading six books, persuasion made me especially in love.

I know that the film and television version of Persuasion was discovered some time ago, and after reading the comments from various parties, it is still from the recent 07 version. Since there is plenty of time, it can be read in one go. I don't criticize the appearance of the heroine, but the whole film can hardly find the appearance of Annie in my impression. It feels like the "cowardice" of Annie's character is put too much. The actor's age has come, but at the same time Annie's gentle and prudent temperament is underexpressed.
The film version sometimes feels a little modern to me, and there's always a shaky shot. But it made me watch it very smoothly. At the end, I watched Annie run around, and when she ran to a point, she was worried. Why couldn't she jump directly in front of Wentworth.
I remember reading the book, the reunion of Anne and Wentworth after the reunion, I was particularly fascinated. I could even feel Wentworth's indifferent look at Annie with mixed feelings in his heart when no one was paying attention. And Anne was still so soft, unsullen but endearing. The deepest impression was Louisa's timely rescue of Annie's fall. Later, she thought she would never forget the anxious look on Wentworth's face at that time. What an ordeal it was. What Wentworth couldn't forget was Anne, but he didn't notice it himself.


In the end, the letter from Wentworth made me emotional at the time, and this time, watching the movie with the sound and music was even more touching. So sincere!

No, I'm going to copy the original text.


These four points are for the story!

Persuasion quotes

  • Sir Walter Elliot: I must say, though, the worst of Bath is the number of plain women. I frequently observe that one pretty face would be followed by five and thirty frights.

  • Captain Wentworth: [distressed and avoiding making eye contact] I have been charged by the Admiral... That is Admiral Croft has been confidently informed that Mr. Elliot... That everything is now set in your family for a marriage between yourself and Mr. Elliot. It was added that you were to live at Kellynch. The Admiral wished me to say that if this is the case that his lease will be canceled and he and my sister will find themselves another house... What answer should I give the Admiral

    Anne Elliot: You will please thank the Admiral for me, but I must tell you that he is utterly misinformed.

    [Capt Wentworth suddenly makes eye contact]

    Captain Wentworth: [hopeful] Misinformed? Utterly?

    Anne Elliot: Quite mistaken.

    Captain Wentworth: No truth in any of it?

    Anne Elliot: None.
