picked up persuasion again on a whim last night and i really think mr. elliot (anne's father) is one of the more interesting satirical characters in austen's work.....it's like what if the eltons from emma experienced financial consequences but still acted like that

#too many mr eliots in this book i keep having to specify #like they are very similar to mrs elton imo in the way theyre played as a joke but this gilded pride is soooo. look at it ruin this #girls life......and so hurtful. i forgot how much i liked anne as a main character though she is so interesting to me #i mean i know mrs elton's whole thing was just that she never shut up and this is more cruel but still #reading: persuasion
