Ok, I am retarded... especially in English Literature so if anyone could help me with this that would be awesome.
I have to write a one page essay (easy, yes I know) about a question I got from my teacher on author Jane Austen's, Persuasion. Here is the question:
Write a response in essay form, at least one page long, to the following: Fay Weldon argues that Jane Austen "struggled to perceive and describe the flow of beliefs that typified her time, and more, to suggest for the first time that the personal, the emotional, is in face the moral." She sees that Austen as exemplifying "the new interest in the underlying morality, the real not the religious morality, of the way people talk to each other, love or don't love each other, and so on." Discuss Weldon's comments in relation to Austens handling in Persuasion of one of the the following themes:
a. Marriage
b. Family Ties
c. Social rank vs. Personal Worth
ANY help would be great.
