Lady Elliot made one dumb decision and that was letting her ovaries pick her husband.

Yes, the only woman we know married based on lust and regretted it later. Sir Walter must have been blindly hot to make her so unable to see to his real personality.

But did she handle the exact same situation 10000x better than Mr. Bennet? Yes she did!

At a time when marine life is disappearing from the world's oceans, researchers are celebrating the discovery of a new species of coral reef fish in the southern waters of the Great Barrier Reef. Named the Lady Elliot Shrimp Goby, the previously unknown fish was found as part of a University of the Sunshine Coast-led project that is mapping the changing biodiversity on and around Lady Elliot Island, a tiny coral cay at the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef.

Hey! Do you enjoy watching Regency romance and marathon training? Boy oh boy is the ending of ITV's 2007 "Persuasion" for you!

[nasty-bog-boy]

not to post about persuasion again but i have so much to say.

one thing i really love about persuasion and that makes it feel so very true to life is Wentworth's bitterness towards Anne and his subsequent forgiveness. he's a flawed guy!!!

Wentworth loved someone, proposed to her and then found that she was not confident in her love for him and so rejected him out of fear and weakness. he put himself on the line for her and was essentially told by the woman he loved he isn't good enough.

of course I love Anne Elliot. she was vulnerable and pursued by someone older and wiser who she looked up to. and honestly Lady Russell isn't completely wrong. Wentworth was in the navy and just as likely to die and leave Anne a penniless widow as become a rich and respected captain.

but Wentworth's resentment towards Anne just serves to make him an equally flawed yet admirable character. his character arc involves him learning to forgive Anne for her actions when she was younger and allow himself to love her again, both for who she was when they were young but also for the older woman she is now. he has to recognise the changes in her and her new strength of character and resolve.

both Anne and Wentworth must admit to themselves where their faults are and change over the course of the novel, because if they don't they won't be able to confess their feelings to each other again.

Wentworth has to be a bigger person and let go of his very justified anger. he loved Anne and she broke his heart, but she's different now and he must admit to himself how he never truly stopped loving her and comparing all other women to her. he has to acknowledge the pain her mistakes caused her and forgive her, as otherwise he would never be able to get her back.

there's just something so beautiful about persuasion featuring two leads who carry very complicated feelings towards each other from their pasts having to reckon with that. they have to forgive each other and move past the very real hurt that was caused in order to have another chance at happiness

its something we can do! its a lesson! we can resolve to act as Anne and do and seek to improve ourselves, to move through the world with grace and forgiveness!

Thinking about this poll posted yesterday and Mr. Bennet would be a fairly good Regency husband, as long as you are nothing like Mrs. Bennet. Caveat: nothing I am going to say justifies how he treats Mrs. Bennet, we are just examining his husband materialness if he married someone else.

Mr. Bennet is lazy and he deliberately antagonizes his wife, but he doesn't like her at all. If his wife had two brain cells to rub together, he wouldn't act that way. Also, he canonically doesn't cheat (no antibiotics so that's a big plus), he lets his wife manage the household money freely (a mistake with Mrs. Bennet but good for you), and he doesn't have life ruining vices (gambling/drinking). He has a large income and a nice house as part of the bargain.

With an intelligent wife, he might actually be happy and could be quite agreeable. Being treated similarly to how he treats Lizzy wouldn't be bad at all. Now, his behaviour towards his children isn't the best either, but a wife he respected could probably curb that and if his children were properly educated he wouldn't have much to mock.

Is he a great prospect? No. Because if the going gets tough I wouldn't want to have to rely on him. But you cannot judge his husband abilities by his current state as a man who has been disappointed for 23ish years. He could have had a much better marriage and been a better husband if he hadn't selected his wife with his "secondary brain."

While it perhaps would be cheesy and dopey the one thing I would love to see from another adaptation of Persuasion is simply the whole Uppercross party reacting to news of the engagement like the tea! The tea that must been for literally every single person there the two of them were in the same spaces for weeks and they said! Nothing! and they were having this whole desperate unspoken romance under everyone's noses like would you not want to be a fly on the wall at the Musgrove's breakfast table when that news hit.
