HISTORY 3H03 Lecture Notes - Lecture 19: Frank Churchill
Document Summary
P e rs u a s io n. Ove rvie w: asking a kind of question throughout the book. Can the goodness of the past be restored: uses bath as a setting. Like northanger abbey: has a type of melancholy and sadness in it. Associated with mary-anne from sense and sensibility and how she feels deprived of. Captain wentworth: uses as all 5 narrative we have read, male figures who have the ability to enchant but are basically empty people. Like wallaby from p&p and frank churchill from emma: sir walter from this book and sir thomas from mansfield park. What sir thomas stands for is being seriously questioned by austen throughout the entire book however, he is not a completely negative authoritative figure. On the other hand sir walter is someone austen has nothing but content for and she begins the book with him.
