Comparing Jane Austen’s “Persuasion” with the 1995 Movie
[ send me this essay ]
This 5 page report discusses Jane Austen’s last novel “Persuasion” and the 1995 movie adaptation of the book. The characters of “Persuasion” (or any other Jane Austen novel) are almost always constantly talking. They chatter, they gossip, and speculate on every aspect of the world around them. It is in this fact that the “Persuasion” is the most radically different. Anne is not a talker and neither is the object of her affection, Captain Wentworth. Perhaps because of the multi-media experience of film, this is conveyed with far greater emphasis in the 1995 movie of “Persuasion” directed by Roger Mitchell. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
