Persuasion Cancelled Chapters 33:59

for 5 weeks siden33:59

33:59

Today, we're covering the original ending of Persuasion, otherwise known as the "Cancelled Chapters." The original Volume 2, Chapter 10 replaces the Chapters 10 and 11 that we ended up with, and the original Chapter 11 is essentially the same as our Chapter 12. The Cancelled Chapters were published posthumously. Anne has just found out Elliot's true nature when she runs into Admiral Croft, who locks her in a room with Wentworth after begging Wentworth to talk to Anne on his behalf. Wentworth reveals that the Crofts are concerned that Anne and Elliot are going to take Kellynch back when they get married. Anne tells him that she and Elliot are not going to be married, and the rest is history. Read the Cancelled Chapters here . Glossary of Terms and Phrases: mantua-maker (n) : a dressmaker who created fitted women's clothing before mass-produced clothing. Glossary of People, Places, and Things: Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad Patron Study Questions: Avi: Why do you think Jane Austen discarded this ending? Did her family do her a service or disservice by bringing it to light? Katrine: How do the two endings differ emotionally — and what do they tell us about the love between Anne and Wentworth? 🤍 Quote: "No truth in any part of it?" or "I cannot stay, because I must go to the P. Office, but if you will only sit down for 5 minutes I am sure Sophy will come--and you will find nobody to disturb you--there is nobody but Frederick here--" opening the door as he spoke.--Such a person to be passed over as a Nobody to her!" Who wins the chapter? Admiral Croft Next Episode: November 2023 Live Show - Wishbone Our show art was created by Torrence Browne , and our audio is produced by Graham Cook .

We made it to the final chapter of Persuasion! Anne and Wentworth face no opposition from Anne's family, Lady Russell admits she was wrong, and Mary takes credit for the match. Mr. Elliot and Mrs. Clay run off together, and Wentworth helps Mrs. Smith sell her husband's estate in the West Indies.

Patron Study Questions: Megan: What 3 songs are definitely on Anne’s breakup playlist? Katrine: Aside from Anne & Wentworth — do the other people in the novel get a happy ending? Think of Mrs Clay and Louisa, will they be happy in life or have they potentially made a mistake in choosing a partner? Similarly with Elizabeth and Sit Walter — is happiness in their future? Avi: Who changed more in the course of the novel, Anne or Wentworth? Becca's Study Questions: Topics discussed include who would be worse to be married to out of Sir Walter and Mr. Elliot, why Austen put Elliot and Mrs. Clay together, what it does to the story to have a happy ending, convenient vs. inconvenient love. Quote: "Of all the family, Mary was probably the one most immediately gratified by the circumstance. It was creditable to have a sister married, and she might flatter herself with having been greatly instrumental to the connexion, by keeping Anne with her in the autumn." Who wins the book?

IT'S LETTER DAY! It's 2 PM before the soirée! Anne and Harville discuss women's vs. men's constancy, Wentworth writes Anne a kicker of a letter, and they FINALLY talk about their feelings for each other. Topics discussed include internal panic, Wentworth's attempts to attach himself to Louisa, whether Anne was right to be persuaded by Lady Russell, Wentworth's pride, and whether hazelnuts poop Nutella. Glossary of Terms and Phrases: innoxious (adj.) : having no adverse effect. innocuous. not injurious to physical or mental health. Glossary of People, Places, and Things: The Notebook , Amanda Fagan - Half Agony, Half Hope , Veronica Mars , The Good Place , How I Met Your Mother , Spongebob , Kacey Musgraves - Happy & Sad , Beyonce Patron Study Questions: Adrianna: How does the conversation between Anne and Harville resemble the hazelnut conversation from earlier in the novel, and does this parallel show the development of Anne, Wentworth, and their relationship? Avi: In this chapter, there is a discussion between Anne and Captain Harville about the feelings of men versus women. From this discussion, and from the other books you have read, what do you think Jane Austen is saying about the perception of women in her society? Ghenet: OH BABY THIS CHAPTER! 1. What does Mrs. Croft and Mrs. Musgrove’s conversation about engagements show us about society and about Anne and Wentworth, their feelings and their own engagement? Why does this conversation get them so in their feels? 2. Where does the ‘half agony half hope’ proposal rank for you in other main character proposals from the books you’ve read so far (ie Edward, Darcy, Knightley etc)! Anna: If Mrs. Croft represents the best case scenario for what Anne's life would have been if she'd married Wentworth all those years ago, Mrs. Smith in many ways represents the worst-case scenario (widowed with no income, cut off from helpful connections, etc.). Does seeing both outcomes affect your opinion on Anne's original decision all those years ago? How do you think that affect's Anne's ultimate opinion on her actions? Becca's Study Questions: Topics discussed include Austen's beliefs on constancy and moving on, the letter's role in the story, Wentworth's heartbreak playlist and his journey through the book. Quote: "I am half agony, half hope." Questions Moving Forward: What will Anne's family say? What will happen with Elliot and Mrs. Smith? Who wins the chapters?

What do these say about their society and “living in the world”? Leigh: What do you think of Mrs. Smith only telling Anne the truth about Mr. Elliot after she learns they won’t be getting married? What does it say about her friendship with Anne? Avi: This chapter marks the first time Wentworth directly alludes to his earlier relationship with Anne, when he says to her “Eight years and a half is a period.” What do you think is happening with Wentworth and why now?

After all that’s happened, does Anne trust Lady Rs judgement? 2. Do you think Anne is ever envious of the relationship Louisa and Henrietta have based on her little speech about sisters? 3. WHAT do you think Mr. Elliott and Mrs. Clay were up to? What were they talking about?! Emily: Anne is clearly trying to get a message to Wentworth about her feelings. How much of the difficulty she is experiencing is down to the time period's restrictions on single people conversing, and how much is down to Anne's own feelings / the awkwardness of it all? Becca's Study Questions: Topics discussed include the purpose of Henrietta's and Louisa's love stories, the return of the Musgroves, and the Elliots' feelings about Wentworth. Funniest Quote: "You need not tell her so, but I thought her dress hideous the other night. I used to think she had some taste in dress, but I was ashamed of her at the concert. Something so formal and arrangé in her air! and she sits so upright! My best love, of course." Questions Moving Forward: What are Mrs. Clay and Mr. Elliot up to? Will Anne expose Elliot? Will her family have some growth? Who wins the chapters? Captain Wentworth Next Episode: Volume 2 Chapter 11 Pod and Prejudice is brought to you by Kyte .

WE HAVE A VILLAIN! Today, we learn the identity of Mr. Elliot's mysterious old friend, Molly makes some incorrect predictions, and Mrs. Smith does an absolute takedown of Mr. Elliot. Plus, we delve into why Elliot is anti-Mrs. Clay. Topics discussed include ignoring texts, ghost wives and faked deaths, yet another Charles, the circumstances of Mr. Elliot's marriage, the overindulgences of the gentry, Elliot's insatiability, and Mrs. Clay's elastic mind.

Ghenet: 1. How do you think Sir Walter, Elizabeth and Lady Russell will each react to this character reveal of the real Mr. Elliot (outside of what Anne speculates)? / 2. Let’s discuss Mrs. Smith’s dilemma for a moment. From the moment we meet her, she has this information about Mr. Elliot. What do you think her feelings or thoughts were in telling/not telling Anne the truth every time they were together, given her financial situation versus her caring for Anne. Emily: It is revealed that young Mr Elliot and Sir Walter sit on a spectrum of how the baronet title vs the money and land attached to it is valued. What does this add to the view of the upper classes shown in the book? Sarah: In your minds, who plays Mr. Elliot and Mrs. Smith? Who would you cast as Lady Russell (or any of the characters you haven't already discussed)? Lauren: Hilarious misunderstandings and incorrect romantic assumptions are abundant in Austen, and throughout romantic comedy history. But in this book, and especially in this chapter, Anne has no trouble recognizing what Wentworth is feeling. Do you think he feels the same way about her? Becca's Study Questions: Topics discussed include the morals of Mrs. Smith, where Elliot falls on the villain scale, what Austen is telling us about marriage, and what kind of social climbing is deemed appropriate. Funniest Quote: “But I ought to have looked about me more,” said Anne, conscious while she spoke that there had in fact been no want of looking about, that the object only had been deficient. Questions Moving Forward: What's Anne going to do with this information? Who wins the chapters? Nurse Rooke Next Episode: Volume 2 Chapter 10 Pod and Prejudice is brought to you by Kyte .

Funniest Quote: “Yes, yes, I see you are. I see you know nothing of the matter. You have only knowledge enough of the language to translate at sight these inverted, transposed, curtailed Italian lines, into clear, comprehensible, elegant English. You need not say anything more of your ignorance. Here is complete proof.” Questions Moving Forward: Why did Elliot come to Bath? If Wentworth proposed to Anne now, would she accept?

We see Anne with members of the upper class and members of the lower class (by the Elliots’ standards) but where is it that you think Anne is most comfortable and most herself?

Becca's Study Questions: Topics discussed include the purpose widowers play in this story, what's shifted between Anne and Wentworth, Bath as a setting for their meeting. Funniest Quote: "Anne sighed and blushed and smiled, in pity and disdain, either at her friend or herself.
