Characters: Anne
Anne Elliot is the undisputed protagonist of Persuasion. Unlike many of Austen's younger heroines, Anne is a mature woman who has already experienced great love.
She represents the strength of inferiority and of the reflection, characteristics that distinguish her from many other Austenian characters. Throughout the novel she demonstrates growing independence and judgment.

Characters: Frederick Wentworth
Frederick Wentworth, the male protagonist, is a fascinating and complex character. A man who, thanks to his career in the navy, has gained wealth and respect, he is deeply hurt by Anne's rejection. Despite his success, Wentworth struggles with his feelings for Anne, and for much of the novel seems to want to forget her. However, his integrity and true love for Anne emerge clearly in the second half of the book.

Characters: Sir Walter Elliot
Anne's father, Sir Walter, is a comical yet tragic figure. Obsessed with his appearance and social status, he is completely blind to his family's needs and the reality of their financial situation. Sir Walter represents the decline of the aristocracy and the futility of the obsession with title and social position.

Anne's friend and confidante, plays a crucial role in the novel. Although a loving and well-intentioned woman, she is responsible for breaking off Anne and Frederick's engagement, influenced by her respect for social conventions. Her character raises important questions about the influence of those around us and the weight of decisions made under pressure.

The letter
I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago. Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. You alone have brought me to Bath. For you alone, I think and plan. Have you not seen this? Can you fail to have understood my wishes? I had not waited even these ten days, could I have read your feelings, as I think you must have penetrated mine. I can hardly write. I am every instant hearing something which overpowers me. You sink your voice, but I can distinguish the tones of that voice when they would be lost on others. Too good, too excellent creature! You do us justice, indeed. You do believe that there is true attachment and constancy among men. Believe it to be most fervent, most undeviating, in
