Anne Elliot


The first time I read Persuasion I thought Anne Elliot was a pretty week character. I didn't think Anne compared with Elizabeth Bennett or either of the Miss Dashwoods. However, upon reexamination I really have found a new respect for Anne. I mean here is a woman who becomes an adult by herself. She doesn't have family or friends to help her achieve a higher actualization. It may take here some time but she does it. You gotta respect that.
