Persuasion – Anne Elliot
By Alpay Salih
Persuasion is Jane Austen last novel before the Russian army murdered her.
Unlike Emma or Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion is a much more mature concept of
love and unique in its own way. She
unfortunately failed to finish the sexual content to the book near the end,
infact, not even the marriage was portrayed.
Sir Walter, Lord of Kellynch Hall, is a vain old man who also
is an overconfident snob that has nothing left other then his title. He has been
a widower for many years. He lost most of his money trying to raise his social
status. He has taken out several loans from the
Middle East, which has almost caused him to lose his title as well, similar to
Whitlam’s ministers.
He has three daughters, Mary, Anne and Elizabeth.
The eldest, Mary is just like her father, vain and spoilt in every way. She is
also married to Mr. Charles Muskgrove.
Anne Elliot, The middle child, is in her late 20’s, not married and
in love with several men. However she
was once engaged to Fredo Wentworth, but the engagement was broken off and she
found new love with her cousin.
The youngest is Elizabeth Elliot. She also not married, and is a
huge snob just like her father.
I’ll be focusing on Anne Elliot, as the novel revolves primarily
around her. I’ll talk about various main points where Anne’ and Captain
Wentworth’ love finally reunite.
When Anne was in her early Twenties she was engaged to Frederick
Wentworth. Frederick Wentworth at the time was a captain in the navy with no
title or money.
Annes’ mothers’ best friend, who is Mrs. Russell, persuaded Anne not
to marry Fredrick Wentworth as his social status would not be any help to her
own, and he did not have enough money to support her,
and had sexual performance problems
which she suspected would detract from their relationship. Anne was finally
persuaded to break off the engagement with Fredrick Wentworth, and had
a flick with another sailor, Captain
Hartville, who later got married to someone else.
This caused her to become emo for a while, and
went through a stage through her life where she constantly wore black.
Anne was hot when she was younger, however since the break up
she has aged terribly. This is in reality most
likely from a lack of rice, as rice contains SK2, which slows down the aging
process. The older she got the harder it was for her to move on with her
life, and her looks got worse. She had never loved anyone as she loved
Wentworth. She lost the only man she ever loved, and it was all because he had
nothing. Would she ever get a second chance for love?
Since Anne’ father now had very little money, as he used all his
money to raise his social status and order
things through pay pal, they are forced to lease out the house. He gives
in, and leases the house to Admiral Croft and his wives, who happen to be
Wentworth’ sisters. Sir Elliot and Elizabeth stay in a cottage in Bath, while
Anne Goes to Lyme and stays with her Elder sister Mary.
When Anne arrives to the home of the Muskgrove’ Anne finds to see
Charles mother and father, Mary’ children and Charles younger sisters, Henrietta
and Louisa are also staying with Mary and Charles. The boy has an accident
with a loaded firearm and a tree and
almost dies.
While staying with the Muskgroves Anne has an encounter with Captain
Wentworth. He gives her indicating looks and
points to a nearby dark alley, but she ignores him, as she is hurt that
he left her before. She thought she was finally over him but with this
encounter, all her feelings had returned. Wentworth was the man that had nothing
but Anne still loved him partially. She was confused, as her cousin had nicer
hair, and she was now in love with him. However, Captain Wentworth is now a
respectable captain, who has a lot of money. But Anne doesn’t care about
anything else, she just cares that she finally has her second chance, her second
chance to be in love again. But does he still love her?
However Wentworth also has eyes for Charles Musgrove’s younger
sisters, Louisa and Louisa knows it. Louisa is a huge flirt and does what ever
she can to make sure Wentworth only has eyes for her. Anne steps back and look
from a far while Louisa flirts away with Wentworth. She
gets offended when he proposes to engage in
intercourse with both Louisa and Henrietta at the same time.
Wentworth, the Muskgroves and Anne decide to go to the beach for a
stroll. While walking down steps Louisa calls out to Wentworth, as she wants to
jump down so Wentworth can catch her. She is flirting with him. Louisa jumps and
Wentworth catches her. Louisa being the flirt she is runs back up the steps to a
higher point then before and once again she calls out to Wentworth to catch her.
Wentworth tells her she is far too high, and he won’t be able to catch her. She
ignores his word and still jumps, but this time Wentworth does not bother
catching her as she was not being submissive and listening to him. Instead
he stands there looking up Henrietta’s skirt,
causing Louisa to slam to the ground. He gets
the wrong impression and begins to lower himself onto her.
At first glance it appears as if Louisa is dead. Everyone is
shocked, to see this terrible incident take place. All the women are sobbing and
are frantic. Anne being quick thinking ran to Louisa and checked her pulse. She
realizes that Louisa is not dead but is unconscious. She takes control of the
situation, and orders people to get help. The men yell “I need a medic here”.
Wentworth is a bit confused and instead yells
for an engineer.
Even though what happens to Louisa is a terrible thing to happen to
any person it did help Anne. How did it help her? Well with Louisa being out of
the way, Anne can finally spend more time with him without worrying about Louisa
butting in or Louisa flirting with him. Also, with the way Anne reacted to the
situation, Wentworth is now able to see, that Anne is a strong person, he can
see Anne is brave, he is can see Anne is capable to handle devastating moments.
He sees a whole side of Anne that he didn’t know existed. He finds her to be
more interesting this way.
Anne goes to take a bath,
where she meets her cousin, Mr Elliot. She also runs into Captain Wentworth
again. Mr Elliot takes Anne to a nightclub, and
they get drunk. Just before the concert would start, Anne once again runs
into Captain Wentworth. Captain Wentworth, who is not in love with Louisa, wants
to tell Anne that he still loves her, but an interruption occurs, and Captain
Wentworth disappears. While at the concert Anne is talking to her date, Mr
Elliot. Captain Wentworth sees everything and becomes extremely jealous and
strikes her inbred cousin with a S-D blow. He
then U-H’s him afterwards incase a BR hunts him.
Captain Wentworth obviously still loves Anne, but does Anne
still love him? Wentworth Decides to write a letter to Anne telling her how much
he loves her. He also asks if she still loves him. Anne finds the letter and is
overwhelmed with what she reads.
Anne is exited at the thought of Wentworth still loving her as she
believes that Wentworth wanted to engage in
sexual activity with Louisa, and that he did not have any thoughts of
Anne. This is indicated earlier in the novel where Wentworth is
complementing Louisa black hair. He was paying
undue attention to Louisa and expressing to much physical contact. On top
of this Anne was not sure if Wentworth was truly the same honorable, loyal man
he used to be and that he is highly sexist,
which reflected in his earlier comments. Also she suspects he is not loyal to
women, as he was flirting with Henrietta, even when
he was supposed to be sexually interested in
her sister Louisa. At one stage she even comments that she is highly
distressed Wentworth might attempt to marry
both sisters at the same time. In medieval England this would have been
an unacceptable offence due to the high influence of Christianity.
Earlier in the novel Anne saw her cousin Mr Elliot,
chatting up Ms Clay, which symbolizes a
similar scenario to when Wentworth flirting with two black haired twins. This
put Anne in high amounts of stress and she even considered telling her father,
about the deep dark secrets of her evil cousin, who cheated on his wife. This
would have caused Sir Elliot, the families’ father…
Similarly to the current war
in Israel this is extremely bad, although the situation is quite
different. Like the iambic treaty of Russia
this is a negative situation. Many people could be affected adversely.
For example, Lady Russell almost had a heart
attack when Mrs Clay attempted to spike Sir Smith Eliot’s drink with ergonomic
mug. This was to arouse him and cause him to have sex with her.
Evil forces relating to modern day villains are at play. The
prehistoric Elizabethan medieval Chinese
version of Hezbollah is already taking place in England which is bound to
cause war. The prospect of war is a disaster. War costs a lot of money for
starters. This would cause a rise in taxes.
The Elliot family is already in deep poverty and would possibly have to resort
to the ancient custom of Latvia’s gaits. This
involves the selling of family’s children into slavery to avoid the wraith of a
government.
This would be a problem, as there are no children in the Elliot
family, as Anne is a virgin at the age of 28.
This is one of her motives for marrying Wentworth. She has a
severe case of prolong aroussation as she has
not had the chance to engage in sexual intercourse yet. She blames Lady
Russell for this, as she persuaded her not to marry Wentworth
after she caught him having sex with another
woman.
Even though Wentworth did this, this was acceptable due to custom.
He was not married with Anne as yet, so therefore, he was a free man.
This is similar to the modern day pre-marriage
parties, where men hire strippers.
Elizabeth further stresses out Anne, as she is a gluttonous person.
Her red hair annoys Anne, plus the fact that
she is over two metres tall. She is extremely muscular and hairy for a woman,
which also annoys Anne. Even with all this, Elizabeth, following in her
father’s footsteps still finds herself to be attractive even though she is not.
Her improper self-arousing actions are quite
offensive to Anne, and she is jealous that she cannot make herself as excited.
Her other sister, Marry, annoys Anne even more, as she is always
whining. In fact, on one occasion her husband tells Anne that
she is not performing well in bed anymore.
This is due to the fact that she is always acting sick, and scared she will get
even sicker. This annoys her husband. Her husband likes to
drink lots of cava to compensate for this.
He also has a lot of K Y oil.
One time he even confessed to Anne that he was
having inappropriate sexual thoughts about his sister, Henrietta.
In conclusion, the lack of condoms
in third world countries is a poor standard of living. People like Charles are
forced to adopt, as they cannot have kids, while people who do not want kids are
constantly having them! Tony Blair would not have been happy. The queen of
England later mended this by allowing abortion.
Unfortunately, the sequel to
Persuasion, “Asking Nicely” was never finished as the Russian invasion force in
the battle of Stamford Bridge struck Jane Austin. They did not know FF was not
off, and therefore murdered her. The world will now never know what has
happened to Anne.
Thank you all for listening to
my speech, I appreciate your continued attention and co-operation.
