Jane Austin's best work

Persuasion should be Jane Austin's best work, although in terms of fame, it is probably not as arrogant or rational. The reason I say this is because when I was watching this film, I finally saw not only the woman, but also myself.
Anne’s sympathy, or her disappointment in herself, is mainly not because she missed a relationship, but because when the previous couple met again, an old maiden who could not get married, and The other is the shining beetle-in-law, so she has to face humiliation and embarrassment from all quarters. Even if they don’t meet anymore, Anne is already a sympathetic character, let alone facing an old lover, facing his cynicism, sympathy, or avoidance, facing other people’s evaluation of his marriage, how can the feeling be embarrassing?
Austin is writing this In this work, she finally put aside her obscene tone, and began to write desperately facing reality, writing with the reality of her own old maiden, so she finally moved me.

Persuasion quotes

  • Captain Benwick: [Anne and Benwick are discussing poetry and he asks her which she prefers of two poems by Sir Walter Scott. Anne answers by quoting a line from the second poem. They then alternately recite the next few lines] Tell me, do you prefer "Marmion" or "The Lady of the Lake?"

    Anne: "Like the dew on the mountain / Like the foam on the river /"

    Captain Benwick: "Like the bubble on the fountain / Thou art gone /"

    Anne: "and forever!"

  • Sir Walter Elliot: I will not have a sailor in my house. I strongly object to the Navy. It brings persons of obscure birth into undue distinction. And it cuts up a man's youth and vigour most horribly.
