PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
As you read Persuasion answer the following questions in your journal:
• What were your initial reactions to the events leading to Sir Walter's putting up his house for rent and ultimately leaving it? Did his actions deserve respect and/or sympathy? Why or why not?
• Does Anne's ability to be persuaded mean that she is gullible and weak? Why or why not?
• In what ways could Sir Walter be considered a failure as a parent and a landowner?
