</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“I knew you would do me good in some way, at some time: I saw it in your eyes when I first beheld you: their expression and smile did not—did not strike delight to my very inmost heart so for nothing.” (chapter 15)<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“I sometimes have a queer feeling with regard to you – especially when you are near to me, as now: it is as if I had a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly and inextricably knotted to a similar string situated in the corresponding quarter of your little frame. And if that boisterous Channel, and two hundred miles or so of land, come broad between us, I am afraid that cord of communion will be snapped; and then I’ve a nervous notion I should take to bleeding inwardly.” (chapter 23)<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

You are my sympathy – my better self – my good angel. I am bound to you with a strong attachment. I think you good, gifted, lovely: a fervent, a solemn passion is conceived in my heart; it leans to you, draws you to my centre and spring of life, wraps my existence about you, and, kindling in pure, powerful flame, fuses you and me in one.”<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Biography:<o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Mr. Rochester’s first appearance in the book is when he returns to Thornfield after his long travels, weary and dejected. Upon arriving he meets <a href="http://assembly-rooms.blogspot.com/2011/11/jane-eyre.html">Jane Eyre</a>, the young governess for his ward Adele Varens. Miss Eyre soon intrigues and refreshes him with her quiet and innocent manners and he is amused by trying to get her to talk. He finds her quite capable of intelligent conversation, however reluctant she is to give it; but he also finds her full of “strange contrasts,” as he later observes.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> He talked with her little the first few weeks, but soon they converse more and more. He tells her about part of his past in order to explain why Adele is his ward.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Before long he is passionately in love with Jane, but doesn’t let on. One night someone stets fire to his bed, and Jane saves his life by putting out the flames. Though he knows full well who did it, he lets Jane think it was a servant named Grace Poole.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Before Jane leaves his room the night of the fire, Mr. Rochester thanks her tenderly, hinting at his feelings for her. Then he leaves unexpectedly the next morning, without seeing Jane first, to join a party of acquaintances.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> In a couple of weeks he brings these acquaintances to Thornfield as his guests, paying particular attention to a beauty named Blanche Ingram, and does so purposefully in front of Jane, insisting that she come to the drawing room every evening and then mostly pretending to ignore her. His reasoning in doing so, he later says, was to make Jane as madly in love with him as he is with her.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Mr. Rochester receives a shock when one Richard Mason appears suddenly. Someone at Thornfield severely wounds Mr. Mason the night he comes, and Mr. Rochester finds a willing and capable – very little questioning, as well – helper in Jane to assist after the injury. Again, Mr. Rochester lets Jane believe that the servant Grace Poole did the harm.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> After Mr. Mason leaves, Rochester and Jane take a walk and he indicates to her that it is his intention to marry Miss Ingram. Soon afterwards Jane is called away to visit her dying aunt, and she stays away for about a month, much to Mr. Rochester’s anxiety. A fortnight after her return, he tells Jane the time has come for her to take a new position, because he is going to be married. He says he has found her a position in Ireland, and no longer able to conceal her emotions, Jane becomes openly distraught at the idea of going so far away from England, and Thornfield, and him. In her distress he is suddenly proposing marriage, and at first she thinks he is insincere, even mocking. Once she is convinced of his honesty, however, she accepts him.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> The wedding ceremony, taking place about a month later, is interrupted by a lawyer claiming that Mr. Rochester is already married. Richard Mason then appears upon the scene once again, witnessing this fact as the brother of Mr. Rochester’s wife.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Enraged, Mr. Rochester takes everyone (that is, Mr. Mason, the lawyer, Jane, and the clergyman) to the top story of Thornfield Hall, and there reveals his dark secret.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> He was indeed legally married, but the wife, Bertha Mason, was insane, and under the care of the servant Mrs. Poole. It was Bertha who tried to burn Rochester in his bed and who wounded her brother. Mr. Rochester’s family knew before the marriage that she was mad, but wanting the money the alliance would bring, concealed it from Rochester.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Jane disappears into her room after that and stays silently within for hours. Mr. Rochester waits outside her door, and after she comes out they have a long, dramatic discussion. Mr. Rochester reveals all the particulars about his past – all shocking or horrific. He tries to persuade Jane to stay: passionately, pleadingly, violently almost. He wants to take her away, somewhere away from everyone where they can live as husband and wife.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Poor Jane undergoes struggle of the acutest kind. She loves him so very much; everything within her cries at her to comply with his wishes. But she holds onto her convictions, and unaware by him, departs in the dead of night. When Mr. Rochester discovers her gone, he is distressed not only for himself as hitherto, but now for Jane, who has left with hardly any money and nowhere to go.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Not many months pass before tragedy strikes at Thornfield. Bertha, the crazed wife, sets the whole place on fire, and then jumps from the roof to her death. Mr. Rochester tries to save her, but to no avail –except that he becomes most severely wounded by a piece of burning timber. Afterwards he is blind – one eye destroyed, the other damaged by the fire. One of his hands is so badly hurt that it has to be amputated.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> He retires to a small, secluded property he owns – Ferndean, it is called – where his servants John and Mary take care of him. It is during this time that his heart most earnestly and painfully cries out for Jane. Eventually, around a year from when she left, Jane returns to Thornfield, unable to bear not knowing how or where Mr. Rochester is. Finding it a ruin, she learns the tragic story, and seeks out Mr. Rochester.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> When she first comes back to him, he thinks he must be dreaming, but when he realizes it is really her, you may imagine his sentiments. She is at Ferndean for a few days while they learn what has become of one another, and then he proposes again. She accepts again, and they are married soon after. In about two years he regains the sight in one eye, in time to see their first son when he is born.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> They remain very happily married, and only grow in their love and devotion for one another.<o:p></o:p></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

<div style="text-align: left;"><b>Biography:</b><br />
Edward Ferrars is the son of Mrs. Ferrars and the brother of Fanny Dashwood and Robert Ferrars. His mother would like him to find a profession so he could become distinguished. In Edward's words, "We never could agree in our choice of a profession. I always preferred the church, as I still do. But that was not smart enough for my family. They recommended the army. That was a great deal too smart for me. The law was allowed to be genteel enough... But I had no inclination for the law, even in this less abstruse study of it, which my family approved. As for the navy, it had fashion on its side, but I was too old when the subject was first started to enter it—and, at length, as there was no necessity for my having any profession at all... I was therefore entered at Oxford and have been properly idle ever since" (Chapter 19).<br />
Edward was educated by a Mr. Pratt, who has two nieces, Anne and Lucy Steele. Edward fell in love with Lucy and asked her to marry him, to which she agreed. Because Mrs. Ferrars would disapprove of Lucy, as she is not rich, they have had to keep their engagement a secret.<br />
When Fanny and her husband inherit the estate of Norland in Sussex, Fanny invites Edward to visit them. When he arrives at Norland, Edward meets Elinor Dashwood, Fanny's husband's half-sister. Elinor's mother and sisters have just lost their father and must move out of Norland since they do not own it anymore. During his stay at Norland, Edward and Elinor begin to spend more and more time with each other. Edward finds that he has fallen in love with Elinor, but because of his promise to Lucy, he does not tell Elinor. When Elinor's family leaves Norland, Edward promises to visit them.<br />
Before visiting the Dashwoods at their new home at Barton Park in Devonshire, Edward has at some point (though it does not specify an instance in the novel) mentioned Elinor to Lucy, which has given Lucy some alarm that Edward loves Elinor and becomes jealous. Edward pays a visit to the Dashwoods in Devonshire, though he is out of spirits and is very quiet for most of his visit. Marianne Dashwood, Elinor's younger sister, notices that Edward is wearing a ring made out of hair and asks if it is Fanny's hair; Edward replies that it is, though he knows it is really Lucy's hair. Edward soon leaves Barton.<br />
Later while in London, Edward receives word that Elinor is also in London and calls upon her. He wanted to explain himself, but could not because Lucy was also calling upon Elinor. They leave together since Lucy was also going back to Fanny's home in London.<br />
The next day, it is all over London that Edward and Lucy are engaged. The day before, Anne Steele, Lucy's sister, told Fanny about the engagement, sending Fanny into hysterics. The Miss Steeles are then thrown out of the house. Mrs. Ferrars, hearing about it, informs Edward that if he does not break off the engagement, she will disinherit him; Edward refuses to break his promise to Lucy and is disinherited. Edward's inheritance is transferred to Robert Ferrars, his brother. Edward tells Lucy that if she wants to break the engagement because of his loss of money, he would understand, but Lucy tells him that she will not.<br />
Elinor tells Edward that Colonel Brandon, a friend of hers, has offered to give him a living after he has been ordained a clergyman after hearing what he has gone through. Edward is astonished, but very grateful to Colonel Brandon and accepts his offer <br />
Soon after Elinor leaves London, Lucy tells Edward that she is breaking off the engagement. She then marries Robert Ferrars who now has Edward's inheritance. Edward heads over to Devonshire to visit the Dashwoods, who have received word that Lucy Steele and Mr. Ferrars are married, thinking that Mr. Ferrars is Edward and not Robert. Edward informs them that Lucy married his brother and not him. He proposes to Elinor and they become engaged. When they married, Edward takes orders and has the living on Colonel Brandon's estate of Delaford. A couple of years later, Marianne and Colonel Brandon marry and the two couples visit each other frequently.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="background-color: white;"><b style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia,Utopia,"Palatino Linotype",Palatino,serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Other Pictures (Click thumbnails for bigger picture.

"You do not suppose that I have ever felt much.—For four months, Marianne, I have had all this hanging on my mind, without being at liberty to speak of it to a single creature; knowing that it would make you and my mother most unhappy whenever it were explained to you, yet unable to prepare you for it in the least.— It was told me,—it was in a manner forced on me by the very person herself, whose prior engagement ruined all my prospects; and told me, as I thought, with triumph.— This person's suspicions, therefore, I have had to oppose, by endeavouring to appear indifferent where I have been most deeply interested;—and it has not been only once;—I have had her hopes and exultation to listen to again and again.— I have known myself to be divided from Edward for ever, without hearing one circumstance that could make me less desire the connection.—Nothing has proved him unworthy; nor has anything declared him indifferent to me.— I have had to contend against the unkindness of his sister, and the insolence of his mother; and have suffered the punishment of an attachment, without enjoying its advantages.— And all this has been going on at a time, when, as you know too well, it has not been my only unhappiness.— If you can think me capable of ever feeling—surely you may suppose that I have suffered NOW. The composure of mind with which I have brought myself at present to consider the matter, the consolation that I have been willing to admit, have been the effect of constant and painful exertion;—they did not spring up of themselves;—they did not occur to relieve my spirits at first.— No, Marianne.—THEN, if I had not been bound to silence, perhaps nothing could have kept me entirely—not even what I owed to my dearest friends—from openly shewing that I was VERY unhappy." (Chapter 37)<br />
<br />
"I am by no means assured of his regard and even were he to feel such a preference I think we should both be very foolish to assume that there would not be many obstacles to his marrying a woman of no rank who cannot afford to buy sugar."(1995 movie)<br />

<div style="text-align: left;"><b>Biography:</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"> Elinor Dashwood is the oldest daughter of Henry Dashwood and his second wife, the current Mrs. Dashwood. Elinor has two sisters, Marianne and Margaret, and one brother, John, who is married to Fanny Dashwood (nee Ferrars). Out of her sisters, Elinor is sensible and has to make decisions for her mother at times. Because she hides her emotions, she is occasionally accused of being unemotional.<br />
When Henry Dashwood dies, his home of Norland (located in Sussex) goes to John and Fanny Dashwood. The Dashwood women have to leave Norland for a place that is smaller and more affordable. Mrs. Dashwood wanted to be out of Norland before John and Fanny arrive, but Elinor reminds her that it is just not possible. When John and Fanny arrive, Fanny becomes mistress of Norland and starts to make the Dashwood women feel unwelcome.<br />
Fanny's brother, Edward Ferrars, visits them at Norland while the Dashwood women are still there. Elinor and Edward begin to spend a lot of time together and Mrs. Dashwood and Marianne speculate that they will marry. Elinor, however, says that they are not engaged and keeps her emotions inside. Fanny, who also suspects an attachment between Elinor and Edward, tells Mrs. Dashwood that Edward is to marry someone of wealth. After hearing this, Mrs. Dashwood decides to answer a letter from her distant cousin who has offered her and her daughters a cottage at his estate, Barton Park, in Devonshire. The Dashwood women leave Norland and Edward says that he will come visit them when they are settled.<br />
The Dashwoods arrive at Barton Park and settle into Barton Cottage. Sir John Middleton invites them to dine with them at their home, where the Dashwood women meet Lady Middleton (Sir John's wife), the Middletons' four children, Mrs. Jennings (Lady Middleton's mother), and Colonel Brandon (Sir John's friend from the army).Elinor forms a friendship with Colonel Brandon, who has fallen in love with Elinor's sister Marianne, who reminds him of a girl that he once knew.<br />
Elinor meets a man named John Willoughby, who carried Marianne home when she sprained her ankle, and notices Willoughby and Marianne becoming close. Her family and friends soon assume that Marianne and Willoughby are engaged, though none of them has said anything. When Willoughby tries to give Marianne a horse (which would be a sign of an engagement), Elinor tells Marianne that she must refuse the gift.<br />
When Willoughby departs suddenly for London, Marianne becomes despondent. Not long afterwards do the Dashwoods receive Edward at Barton Cottage, though in lower spirits. Marianne notices that Edward has a ring made out of hair on and asks if it is Fanny's hair, to which Edward hesitantly replies that it is. Elinor, looking at the ring, believes that it is her hair and wonders where he could have gotten a lock of her hair from. Soon afterwards, he leaves.<br />
Soon after Edward's departure , Mrs. Jennings welcomes her distant cousins, the Miss Steeles (Anne and Lucy) to Barton Park, who both fawn over Lady Middleton's obnoxious children. One day on a walk, Lucy informs Elinor that she has been engaged for four years to Edward and that he has a lock of her hair that he has in the form of a ring. Lucy swears the shocked Elinor to secrecy about the engagement.<br />
Mrs. Jennings invites Elinor and Marianne on a trip to London and both go, Marianne hoping to meet Willoughby. While in London, they are later joined by the Miss Steeles. When the Dashwoods go to a ball in London with Mrs. Jennings, both Elinor and Marianne spot Willoughby with another woman, who turns out to be Miss Sophia Grey, his fiancee. The Dashwoods leave early due to Marianne's not feeling well. The next day, when Marianne receives a letter from Willoughby breaking away from Marianne, Elinor comforts her and finds out that Willoughby and Marianne were never engaged. Colonel Brandon arrives the next day and informs Elinor of Willoughby's past and that he was cut off from his inheritance and is marrying Miss Grey for her money.<br />
Edward arrives in London and visits Elinor while Lucy is also visiting her. Soon after, Elinor hears from Mrs. Jennings about Edward's engagement to Lucy and that Lucy and Anne have been kicked out of Mrs. Ferrars (Edward's mother)'s house. Edward is cut off without a penny, but he refuses to break his promise to Lucy. Colonel Brandon, hearing about what has happened, asks Elinor to tell Edward that he is willing to give him and Lucy a living when they get married and he becomes a clergyman. Elinor is reluctant to personally tell Edward about this, thinking it would be better if Colonel Brandon told him, but Colonel Brandon believed it would be better coming from a friend; she tells Edward, who is very grateful. Meanwhile, Elinor's peers believe that her and Colonel Brandon are in love, though Elinor constantly tells them that they are not.<br />
Elinor and Marianne leave London with Mrs. Jennings other daughter, Charlotte, and her husband, Thomas Palmer who are taking them back to Barton Cottage. They stop at Cleveland, the Palmer's home: it is there that Marianne gets very sick due to her declining health after Willoughby's letter and the fact that she went walking in wet grass and didn't change her stockings. Fearing that the Palmer's new baby will catch Marianne's illness, the Palmers leave Cleveland, leaving Colonel Brandon, the doctor, and Elinor to take care of Marianne. Colonel Brandon offers to fetch Mrs. Dashwood, to which Elinor agrees. Elinor cares for her sister, who eventually gets better. Thinking Colonel Brandon has arrived, Elinor rushes downstairs only to find that Willoughby has come to ask about Marianne's health and to explain his actions. Elinor, though unwilling to hear him, listens to what he has to say. Willoughby says that he didn't originally intend to love Marianne, but found himself in love with her, but since he was disinherited due to a misdeed, he had to marry Miss Grey, who he does not love.<br />
Once Marianne was well enough, Mrs. Dashwood, Elinor, and Marianne return to Barton, Marianne getting stronger and strong. The Dashwoods receive news soon after they arrive at Barton that Mr. Ferrars and Lucy Steele have gotten married, distressing Elinor. Edward soon visits them at Barton. Elinor inquires Mrs. Ferrars, to which Edward responds thinking that she was referring to his mother. When Elinor clarifies that she was referring to Mrs. Edward Ferrars, Edward informs them all that they must mean his brother, Robert. It turns out that after Edward was disinherited, Lucy engaged herself to Robert and has married him. Overjoyed, Elinor leaves the room and bursts into tears of joy. Edward, not knowing what to do, walks towards the village and then comes back and proposes to Elinor.<br />
Elinor and Edward are married and have a living on Colonel Brandon's estate of Delaford. Edward became a clergyman, and when Marianne and Colonel Brandon marry, the two sisters visited each other often.<br />

<b>Quotes:</b><br />
<br />
<ul><li><i>“To sit in the shade on a fine day, and look upon verdure, is the most perfect refreshment.” </i>- (novel)</li>
<li><i>"How wonderful, how very wonderful the operations of time, and the changes of the human mind!” And following the latter train of thought, she soon afterwards added: “If any one faculty of our nature may be called more wonderful than the rest, I do think it is memory. There seems something more speakingly incomprehensible in the powers, the failures, the inequalities of memory, than in any other of our intelligences. The memory is sometimes so retentive, so serviceable, so obedient; at others, so bewildered and so weak; and at others again, so tyrannic, so beyond control! We are, to be sure, a miracle every way; but our powers of recollecting and of forgetting do seem peculiarly past finding out.”</i> - (novel)</li>
<li><i>“How differently we feel!” cried Fanny. “To me, the sound of Mr. Bertram is so cold and nothing–meaning, so entirely without warmth or character! It just stands for a gentleman, and that’s all. But there is nobleness in the name of Edmund. It is a name of heroism and renown; of kings, princes, and knights; and seems to breathe the spirit of chivalry and warm affections.”</i> - (novel)</li>
<li><i>“No, no, no!” she cried, hiding her face. “This is all nonsense. Do not distress me. I can hear no more of this. Your kindness to William makes me more obliged to you than words can express; but I do not want, I cannot bear, I must not listen to such—No, no, don’t think of me. But you are <u>not</u> thinking of me. I know it is all nothing.” </i>- (novel)</li>
<li><i>"We have all a better guide in ourselves, if we would attend to it, than any other person can be."</i> - (novel)</li>
<li><i>"Let him have all the perfections in the world, I think it ought not to be set down as certain that a man must be acceptable to every woman he may happen to like himself."</i> - (novel)</li>

<b>Biography: </b>Fanny Price's story begins with her mother who marries a poor Lieutenant while her older sister marries rich baronet Sir Thomas Bertram. Fanny is the oldest girl in the Price's family of ten children and they have little to live on. When her mother asks for help from their richer relations young Fanny is sent to live with her Aunt Bertram at Mansfield Park. Although Fanny knows she should be grateful for her aunt and uncle's kindness she is miserable. No one means to be unkind to her but her older cousins Maria and Julia are amazed at her ignorance in the schoolroom, she is constantly chided by her Aunt Norris and treated coolly by her uncle Sir Thomas Bertram. The only one who is truly kind to her is her cousin Edmund who helps her write letters home, encourages her to read and learn and becomes her best friend.<br />
Eight years pass. As Fanny blossoms into a sweet and gentle young lady of eighteen her older cousins become refined and enter into society and the marriage market. Under the direction of their Aunt Norris her cousin Maria Bertram becomes engaged to rich but foolish Mr. Rushworth, but their marriage must wait for Sir Thomas who has gone to the East Indies to oversee his business there. While he is away Henry and Mary Crawford arrive fresh from fashionable London to stay with their sister and brother-in-law Mrs. Grant and Reverend Dr. Grant at the parsonage. Fanny is one of the few who sees that flirtatious and charming Henry Crawford's artful capturing of the hearts of Julia and the engaged Maria. She also looks on in horror as her beloved Edmund falls under the spell of beautiful Mary Crawford who befriends Fanny just to make herself look good. The young people have an outing at Southerton, Mr. Rushworth's estate, and many gatherings at Mansfield Park where Fanny observes their flirtations unable to speak up about her concern.<br />
When her older cousin Tom arrives with his pompish friend Mr. Yates the young people decide to entertain themselves by rehearsing and putting on the rather risque play <i>Lover's Vows</i>. As a young lady of purity Fanny refuses to act in the play because it would be improper and is saddened when sturdy Edmund is prevailed on by Mary Crawford to act the part of her love interest in the play. The return of Sir Thomas forces the young people to give up the play and the household returns to a semi-normal state but Julia and Maria's hearts have been wounded by Mr. Crawford.<br />
When Maria and Mr. Rushworth are married they take Julia with them on their honeymoon trip. Fanny becomes more important at Mansfield Park and Henry Crawford decides that she will be his next conquest. Although Fanny resist Mr. Crawford's pointed attentions he is encouraged by her uncle and aunts who misguidedly think he would be a good match for her. But Fanny sees Mr. Crawford's true nature and her gentle heart already belongs to Edmund who in return is deceived in Mary Crawford. Although her heart is breaking Fanny prays for Edmund's happiness, tries to think of him only as a friend and lends him a listening ear when Mary vexes him.<br />
Fanny's beloved older brother William visits Mansfield Park and their uncle arranges a "coming-out" ball for Fanny. When Fanny asks for advice on the style of her dress for the ball, Mary Crawford slyly gives Fanny a necklace from Henry and tries to encourage Fanny to accept his attentions. Fanny's first ball is a great success, even though she has to dance with Mr. Crawford, but she also has a sweet dance and conversation with her beloved Edmund. The next day William and Henry Crawford leave for London and Edmund leaves because he is shortly to be ordained as a minister.<br />
When Henry Crawford returns he shortly makes his way to Mansfield Park where he informs Fanny of how his influence with his uncle helped her brother William get promoted to a Lieutenant in the Navy. Fanny is thankful for his help but not for his proposal of marriage which soon follows. Thinking his proposal is not serious Fanny brushes it off, but when he applies to her uncle she must speak up for herself. In an interview with Sir Thomas she explains that she's convinced they could never be happy together. Although Sir Thomas is kind to her he thinks Fanny is a bit ungrateful and unsure of her own mind and hopes that more time getting to know Mr. Crawford will change his niece's mind. When Edmund come home he and Fanny have long talk about the situation where he is mostly in favor of the match he tells her to follow her heart.<br />
Hoping that Fanny will realize the value of accepting a rich gentleman like Mr. Crawford, Sir Thomas sends her to Portsmouth to visit her family. Fanny is as first excited to the parents and siblings who she hasn't seen in 8 years, but they are so exceedingly poor and all busy with their own petty concerns that they show little excitement to see her. But Fanny tries to make the best of her visit by helping her mother around the house and by being a good influence on her younger sisters and showing them more elegant ways. Mr. Crawford visits her and renews his proposals with a kinder air but is steadily refused.<br />
Fanny waits at Portsmouth to be called for and news of Edmund's inevitable engagement to Mary Crawford. The first news of Mansfield Park she receives is read aloud from the newspaper gossip column by her father: Maria Bertram has left her husband and eloped with Mr. Crawford and no one knows where they are gone. Soon Lady Bertram writes to Fanny with the news that Tom has fallen deathly ill as a result of his riotous living and that Julia has also run away with Mr. Yates. Edmund comes to Portsmouth to convey Fanny and her younger sister Susan to Mansfield Park. Fanny helps nurse Tom and cares for her aunt Bertram proving that she is the truest "daughter" the Bertrams could ever have. Julia and Mr. Yates are married and Tom recovers but Maria, separated from her husband and deserted by Mr. Crawford, is not allowed to return to Mansfield Park. Aunt Norris, convinced that Maria is kept from returning home only because she might sully the reputation of pure young Fanny, leaves Mansfield Park to set up a home in another county where she and Maria will live and quarrel together. Fanny is relieved to hear that Edmund has at last had his eyes opened to Mary Crawford's true worldly nature and is not going to marry her.<br />
It is clear that Fanny is necessary to the family's happiness and soon Edmund realizes that she is the woman he has been looking for and loves. Fanny's patience and faithfulness are rewarded by her marriage to Edmund. The couple spend some years living at the nearby Parrish of Thornton-Lacey but when the Grants leave Edmund also becomes rector of the Mansfield Parish which Fanny loves so well. <br />

<div style="text-align: left;"><b>Biography:</b><br />
Kind-hearted Jane is the eldest and prettiest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet. The Bennet's estate of Longbourn is entailed on Mr. Bennet's cousin, William Collins, since the Bennets did not have any sons. Because of that, Mrs. Bennet is focused on marrying off each of her daughters to wealthy men.<br />
Jane meets the wealthy Mr. Bingley at a ball at the assembly room in Meryton where they fall in love. They always talk to each other when they are at parties and always dance with each other. Charlotte Lucas, neighbor of the Bennets, tells Elizabeth that Jane should show more affection than she feels to secure Mr. Bingley.<br />
Jane becomes friends with Mr. Bingley's sisters, Louisa Hurst and Caroline Bingley. When they invite Jane to dine with them at Netherfield, Mrs. Bennet forces Jane to go on horseback since it looked like it would rain and she would have to stay the night and see Mr. Bingley. When Jane arrives at Netherfield in the rain, she becomes ill. The next day, Jane's sister, Elizabeth, walks three miles from Longbourn to Netherfield intending to visit Jane for the day, but Mr. Bingley invites her to stay until Jane recovers.<br />
Once Jane recovers and both her and Elizabeth return to Longbourn, Mr. Bennet announces that Mr. Collins is going to visit them. When Mr. Collins arrives, he is taken with Jane, but Mrs. Bennet informs him that it is likely that she will soon be engaged, to which Mr. Collins then sets his sights on Elizabeth. Soon after, Mr. Bingley holds a ball at Netherfield to which all the Bennets and Mr. Collins attend. Mr. Bingley's friend, Mr. Darcy, notices that Mr. Bingley is in love with Jane, but doesn't think that she is in love with him. Later that evening, the Bennets (with the exception of Jane and Elizabeth) show some very embarrassing behavior. <br />
Jane receives word from Miss Bingley a couple of days later that Mr. Bingley, his sisters, and Mr. Darcy have left Netherfield for London without any intention of returning. Miss Bingley implies that Mr. Bingley and Miss Darcy, Mr. Darcy's sister, might soon become engaged. Jane hopes that Miss Bingley has deceived herself, but Elizabeth thinks that Miss Bingley is trying to get Mr. Bingley and Miss Darcy engaged.<br />
After Mr. Bingley's departure, Jane feels a bit low. When her aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner, visit for a little while, but before they leave, they invite Jane to come along with them to London. Jane accepts their invitation and leaves with them for London.<br />
When Jane arrived in London, she called on Miss Bingley in Grosvenor Street, but Miss Bingley seemed out of spirits. Miss Bingley ends the visit by saying that her and Mrs. Hurst are going out, but will call on Jane in a few days. Jane waited at home for two weeks before Miss Bingley paid her a visit, and due to Miss Bingley's manner towards Jane, Jane became convinced that she was mistaken about Miss Bingley.<br />
Jane returns to Longbourn with Elizabeth after Elizabeth was visiting the new Mr. Collins and Charlotte, who were married not too long ago. Elizabeth can see that Jane is still affected by Mr. Bingley's departure, but Jane is determined to be content.<br />
While Elizabeth is on a trip with Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner, the Bennets find out that Lydia, their youngest daughter, has eloped with Wickham. Jane wrote to Elizabeth so that they would all return to help with the search for Lydia. Wickham and Lydia are found in London and are made to marry.<br />
Not long after Lydia's scandal, Mr. Bingley returns to Netherfield along with Mr. Darcy. Not long after his arrival, Mr. Bingley proposes to Jane and Jane accepts. Not long after their engagement do Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth become engaged.<br />
After they are married, Jane and Mr. Bingley remained at Netherfield for a year, but because of Mrs. Bennet and of the relations Jane had in Meryton that were not "desirable even to <i>his</i> easy temper, or <i>her</i> affectionate heart", the Bingleys bought an estate in Derbyshire that was within thirty miles of Pemberly, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Darcy.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

<ul><li><i>"Do women often come shooting, Charles?"</i> - Persuasion (1995)</li>
<li><i>"Though I got here only yesterday, I've already armed myself for Bath. (He shows her a new umbrella)"</i> - Persuasion (1995)</li>
<li><i>"I tried to forget you. I thought I had."</i> - Persuasion (1995)</li>
<li><i>"...I am quite ready to make a foolish match with any woman between fifteen and thirty. A little beauty, a few smiles and a compliment to the navy and I shall be lost. After all, what right has a humble sailor to expect any better. But if I am to speak in earnest, what I desire above all in a wife is firmness of character - a woman who knows her own mind. I cannot abide timidity or feebleness of purpose. A weak spirit which is always open to persuasion, first one way and then the other, can never be relied upon."</i> - Persuasion (2007)</li>
<li><i>"You have no idea Harry how I curse the folly of my own pride. Had I only the good sense to seize my happiness when I had the chance again none of this would have happened. ... I imagined myself indifferent to her when I was only angry and resentful. Too late...too late I began to understand myself and her. Never, never have I met her equal in good sense or sweetness of character. She's perfection itself. I have never loved any but her."</i> - Persuasion (2007)</li>
<li><i>"Yes, here I am, Sophia, quite ready to make a foolish match. Anybody between fifteen and thirty may have me for asking. A little beauty, a few smiles, and a few compliments to the navy, and I am a lost man. Should not this be enough for a sailor, who has had no society among women to make him nice?"</i> - (novel)</li>
<li><i>"A strong mind, with sweetness of manner," ... "That is the woman I want," said he. "Something a little inferior I shall of course put up with, but it must not be much. If I am a fool, I shall be a fool indeed, for I have thought on the subject more than most men."</i> - (novel)</li>
<li><i>"The Admiralty," he continued, "entertain themselves now and then, with sending a few hundred men to sea in a ship not fit to be employed. But they have a great many to provide for; and among the thousands that may just as well go to the bottom as not, it is impossible for them to distinguish the very set who may be least missed."</i> - (novel)</li>
<li><i>"Now I have done," cried Captain Wentworth. "When once married people begin to attack me with - 'Oh! you will think very differently when you are married,' I can only say, 'No, I shall not'; and then they say again, 'Yes, you will,' and there is an end of it."</i> - (novel)</li>
<li><i>"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 non but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. You along have brought be to Bath. For you alone, I think and plan."</i> - (novel, Captain Wentworth's letter)</li>
<li><i>"I have been used to the gratification of believing myself to earn every blessing that I enjoyed. I have valued myself on honourable toils and just rewards. Like other great men under reverses," he added, with a smile, "I must endeavour to subdue my mind to my fortune. I must learn to brook being happier than I deserve."</i> - (novel)</li>
<li><i>"It is the worst evil of too yielding and indecisive a character, that no influence over it can be depended on. You are never sure of a good impression being durable; everybody may sway it. Let those who would be happy be firm."</i> - (novel)</li>

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><b>Biography: </b>Frederick was a young Lieutenant on leave from the Navy and visiting his curate brother when he first met Anne Elliot. She was at that a very pretty girl of nineteen and in need of a friend. Frederick had little do in the country and plenty of time to become great friends with Anne. Their friendship quickly turned to devoted love and he soon asked Anne to marry him. Anne at first accepted his proposal, but, meeting with discouragement from her father and godmother, she later refused him. Feeling very hurt and ill-used he left the country soon.<br />
Eight years passed in which Frederick became Captain of his own ship gaining both wealth and fame.<br />
When Frederick next comes home he visits his sister and brother-in-law who are now renting Kellynch and is soon thrown into company with Anne. Although he finds that time has given her a care-worn look she is still the sweet-tempered woman he fell in love with. Although he tries to forget her by lavishing attention on the young Musgrove ladies Anne is still in his heart and he can't help being kind to her even though the pain is still there. Frederick is so busy trying to forget about Anne that he doesn't realize Louisa Musgrove and her family are starting to consider them as soon to be engaged. On a trip to Lyme to visit his friends Louisa has a great fall when she jumps from the high stone steps before he can catch her. Frederick greatly blames himself for her injuries and does his best to help her family in the weeks of recovery that follow.<br />
In an effort to distance himself from being considered Louisa's beau, Frederick goes to visit his clergyman brother in Shropshire and comes back to find Louisa much recovered and engaged to his good friend Captain Benwick.<br />
Free from any entanglement Frederick goes to Bath particularly to seek Anne out only to find her surrounded by rumors that she will marry her father's heir Mr. William Elliot. On a visit to Mrs. Musgrove, staying in Bath to buy wedding clothes for both of her daughters, Frederick overhears a conversation Anne has with Captain Harville. Finding that Anne seems to be still constant in her love for him, Frederick writes the most romantic letter renewing his proposal and leaves it for Anne to read. A few minutes later Anne and Frederick meet in the street and spend the afternoon walking and talking over their past and future. <br />

<b>Quotes:</b></div>"She is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt <i>me</i>; I am in no humour at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men. You had better return to your partner and enjoy her smiles, for you are wasting your time with me." (Chapter 3) <br />
<br />
"A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony, in a moment." (Chapter 6)<br />
<br />
"All this she must possess... and to all this she must yet add something more substantial, in the improvement of her mind by extensive reading." (Chapter 8)<br />
<br />
"I have faults enough, but they are not, I hope, of understanding. My temper I dare not vouch for. It is, I believe, too little yielding—certainly too little for the convenience of the world. I cannot forget the follies and vices of others so soon as I ought, nor their offenses against myself. My feelings are not puffed about with every attempt to move them. My temper would perhaps be called resentful. My good opinion once lost, is lost forever." (Chapter 11)<br />
<br />
"In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." (Chapter 34)<br />
<br />
"But disguise of every sort is my abhorrence." (Chapter 34) <br />
<br />
"Such I was, from eight to eight and twenty; and such I might still have been but for you, dearest, loveliest Elizabeth! What do I not owe you! You taught me a lesson, hard indeed at first, but most advantageous. By you, I was properly humbled. I came to you without a doubt of my reception. You showed me how insufficient were all my pretensions to please a woman worthy of being pleased." (Chapter 58)<br />

<div style="text-align: left;"><b>Biography:</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"> Fitzwilliam Darcy is the son of a gentleman, old Mr. Darcy, and Lady Anne. When his father died, he inherited his home, the estate of Pemberley, and a fortune of 10,000 pounds a year from his father.<br />
Mr. Darcy was brought up by his parents along with George Wickham, the son of old Mr. Darcy's steward. Though old Mr. Darcy intended George Wickham for the church and intended that the living of Kympton, when he died Mr. Wickham declined going into the church and was compensated for the living. Mr. Darcy lost contact with Wickham until he accidentally met Wickham who was with Georgiana Darcy. When Miss Darcy revealed to her brother that she was going to elope with Wickham, Mr. Darcy put an end to the engagement before it lead to the elopement.<br />
At the point where Pride and Prejudice starts, Mr. Darcy is staying with his friend, Mr. Bingley, in Meryton, a village in Hertfordshire. There he meets Elizabeth Bennet and despite Mr. Bingley's encouragement, refuses to dance with her saying that she was only tolerable and not handsome enough to dance with.<br />
Mr. Bingley's younger sister, Miss Caroline Bingley, has set her mind on marrying Mr. Darcy. She tries to flirt with him, but recently he had noticed Elizabeth, who he called tolerable. Miss Bingley teases him about his admiration for Elizabeth's "fine eyes" and tries to put down Elizabeth and her family. He begins to fall in love with Elizabeth, though he struggles not to since there would be objections to her family.<br />
Mr. Darcy notices that Mr. Bingley has fallen in love with Elizabeth's eldest sister, Jane. Mr. Darcy sees the objections to the match, such as the Bennets have embarrassed themselves and that Jane doesn't appear to be in love with him. After the Netherfield Ball, Mr. Darcy, along with Miss Bingley and Mrs. Hurst (Mr. Bingley's other sister), convinces Mr. Bingley to go to London. When Jane attempts to visit them in London soon after, Mr. Darcy concealed her presence from Mr. Bingley.<br />
Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth meet again months later when Elizabeth was in Kent visiting her friend, Charlotte Collins (nee Lucas), and her cousin/Charlotte's husband William Collins, whose patroness is Lady Catherine de Bourgh, Mr. Darcy's aunt. During this time, Mr. Darcy realizes that he is in love with Elizabeth and proposes marriage to her, but Elizabeth declines due to his separating Jane from Mr. Bingley, what she had heard about his treatment towards Wickham, and his arrogance. The next day, Mr. Darcy writes a letter to Elizabeth explaining his actions towards Jane and Mr. Bingley and the true story behind Wickham. He then leaves Kent.<br />
He later runs into Elizabeth again, but this time in Derbyshire while Elizabeth is touring Pemberley with her Aunt and Uncle Gardiner. He becomes very hospitable towards them and introduces Elizabeth to Georgiana and they have dinner together at Pemberley. The next day, Mr. Darcy happens upon Elizabeth in a distressed state; she informs him that her youngest sister, Lydia, has run away with Wickham and has created a huge scandal for her family. Elizabeth and Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner return to Hertfordshire while Mr. Darcy, without telling them, goes to London to search for Lydia and Wickham. When he finds them, Mr. Darcy bribes Wickham to marry Lydia and pays off all of Wickham's debts and for the wedding.<br />
Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley return to Hertfordshire a while after, and Mr. Bingley proposes to Jane. Both him and Mr. Darcy leave for a short time for town. When Mr. Darcy visited his aunt, she told him that she visited Elizabeth and tried to make her promise never to marry him. Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley return to Hertfordshire and Mr. Darcy proposes a second time to Elizabeth, who accepts. They are married and reside at Pemberly.<br />

He made me love him without looking at me." (Chapter 17)</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">“I have known you, Mr Rochester, and it strikes me with terror and anguish to feel I absolutely must be torn from you for ever. I see the necessity of departure, and it is like looking on the necessity of death.” (Chapter 23)</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
“Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless?” (Chapter 23)</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an independent will.” (Chapter 23)</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">“I will hold to the principles received by me when I was sane, and not mad--as I am now. Laws and principles are not for the times when there is no temptation: they are for such moments as this, when body and soul rise in mutiny against their rigour; stringent are they; inviolate they shall be. If at my individual convenience I might break them, what would be their worth? They have a worth--so I have always believed; and if I cannot believe it now, it is because I am insane--quite insane: with my veins running fire, and my heart beating faster than I can count its throbs. Preconceived opinions, foregone determinations, are all I have at this hour to stand by: there I plant my foot.” (Chapter 27)</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">“I know what it is to live entirely for and with what I love best on earth.

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Biography:</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">As a girl of ten, Jane Eyre is sent to school by her uncle’s widow Mrs. Reed. Mrs. Reed and her children always treated Jane hatefully despite her attempts to please them.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> Lowood school is a cold, hard place where the living conditions are unhealthy and discipline is harsh. The headmistress Miss Temple is sympathetic though, and Jane’s friend Helen Burns helps her to settle in. Jane works as hard as she can and does very well in school. At age sixteen she becomes a teacher, and stays at Lowood for another two years.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> When Miss Temple marries and leaves, Jane suddenly finds herself discontented with her monotonous life and desires a change. She seeks a new position as a governess, and she finds one.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> Thornfield Hall is Jane’s new home, where she is welcomed by the kindly housekeeper Mrs. Fairfax and meets her new pupil Adèle, a little French girl around eight. Adèle is the ward of Mr Rochester, the owner of Thornfield, who is reported to be rarely at home.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> She continues quietly as a governess for a few months. While she is happy in the position, she begins to feel a bit restless.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> Then Mr. Rochester comes home unexpectedly. He is a moody man with a dark past, but he treats Jane well and for the first time in her life she can enjoy conversing openly with someone who is her equal in intellect. Though he is rather difficult to understand sometimes and has many faults, she anticipates their interesting conversations, and finds her respect for him growing into fondness.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> There is a mystery at Thornfield that Jane can’t solve. Every so often she hears a strange, mirthless laugh. Mrs. Fairfax says it is the servant Grace Poole, who stays all day long in the upper rooms and Jane sees very rarely. She suspects there is more to the story than anyone will tell her.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> One night Jane is awakened by a noise outside of her door; that unnatural laugh—a moan—footsteps retreating. Disturbed, she dresses in preparation to seek Mrs. Fairfax. When she opens her door, she is bewildered to see a lit candle on the floor, and then she smells a fire and sees smoke coming from Mr. Rochester’s room. She rushes in and tries to wake him up, but when he doesn’t, she proceeds to put the fire out by herself.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> “I knew you would do me good in some way, at some time.” Mr. Rochester tells her while expressing his gratitude to her for saving his life. “I saw it in your eyes when I first beheld you: their expression and smile did not strike delight to my very inmost heart so for nothing.”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> Jane is perplexed the next day to discover that Mr. Rochester has left to visit some of his wealthy acquaintance. He stays away for a couple of weeks, and then comes back with a houseful guests, one of which is the beautiful Blanche Ingram, who Mr. Rochester pays a great deal of attention to. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> Jane is furious for ever allowing herself to cherish tender feelings for her employer. She tries to reason herself out of it, determined to stifle her increasing love for him.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Little does she know that, through the disguise of his supposed potential bride Miss Ingram, Mr. Rochester is really desperately in love with Jane and hopes to marry <i>her. </i>But there’s also something else she doesn’t know…and that something has the means of ruining their happiness and bringing desperation into their lives.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The reader, however, may look forward to a happy ending. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> <i>Read complete summary on Wikipedia: </i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Eyre#Plot_summary">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Eyre#Plot_summary</a></span><br />

<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Spouse: </b><u><a href="http://assembly-rooms.blogspot.com/2011/12/captain-frederick-wentworth.html#more">Captain Frederick Wentworth</a></u> (future) - Anne first met Captain Wentworth when he was a young navy Lieutenant visiting his brother who was rector of Monkford near the Elliot family home. The two fell quickly in love and Captain Wentworth asked Anne to marry him before he went back to sea. Anne initially agreed but after facing disapproval from her father, sister and mother figure Lady Russell, and her own conviction that she wasn't good enough for him, nineteen-year-old Anne was persuaded to refuse him. Anne followed Captain Wentworth's successful career as naval Captain, admiring his bravery. Eight years later when her father rents his house to Captain Wentworth's sister and brother-in-law, the Crofts, Anne goes to stay nearby with the Musgroves. Anne and Captain Wentworth are thrown together again when he visits his sister and many awkward moments are shared between them, especially when their friends believe that he is showing attraction to young Louisa Musgrove. Later in Bath Anne meets up with Captain Wentworth and he proposes to her again. With this second chance at true love Anne simply can't refuse!<br />
<br />

Lady Russell was the wife of Sir Henry Russell, "only a knight" and lives at Kellynch Lodge on Sir Walter Elliot's estate.

He admires Anne and even asked her to marry him a few years before marrying Mary. Anne refused his proposal because she did not love him but they remain good friends. Like the rest of the Musgroves, he values Anne's good sense and down-to-earth nature.<br />
<u>Henrietta & Louisa Musgrove</u> - Both of Charles Musgrove's sisters are lively good-natured young ladies who like Anne a great deal more than their sister-in-law Mary. Anne is a good friend and adviser to them, especially to Henrietta who she becomes closer to during their visit to Lyme.<br />

<b>Quotes:</b><br />
<i>"Oh, Frederick, Frederick, Frederick!"</i> - Persuasion (1971) <br />
<i>"While my mother was alive there was moderation and economy in our home, and no need of moving out."</i> - Persuasion (1995)<br />
<i>"We are living through a great age for poetry, I think."</i> - Persuasion (1995)<br />
<i>"...You ought perhaps to include a larger allowance of prose in your daily study. Too much poetry may be...unsafe."</i> - Persuasion (1995)<br />
<i>"My instinct tells me, he is charming and clever but I have seen no burst of feeling, warmth of fury or delight."</i> - Persuasion (1995)<br />
<i>"Oh, why is the whole town suffering from this dreadful misapprehension that I shall marry him!"</i> - Persuasion (1995)<br />
<i>"We do not forget you, so soon as you forget us. We live at home, quite, confined, and our feeling prey upon us. You always have business of some sort or other, to take you back into the world."</i> - Persuasion (1995)<br />
<i>"I believe you capable of everything great and good, so long as - if I may - so long as the woman you love lives, and lives for you. All the privilege I claim for my own sex - and it is not a very enviable one, you need not covet it - is that of loving longest, when all hope is gone."</i> - Persuasion (1995)<br />
<i>"The worst is over. I have seen him. We have been once more in the same room. A bow, a curtsey, I heard his voice...and then he was gone. He has not forgive me. I have used him ill, deserted and disappointed him. And worse, shown a feebleness of character in doing so which his own decided, confident temper could not endure. Once there were no two hearts so open, no feelings so in harmony. But now we are strangers - worse than strangers, for we may never become acquainted. It is a perpetual estrangement. And tonight I am to be tested once more."</i> - Persuasion (2007), Anne writes in her journal<br />
<i>"Captain. Captain. I am...I am in receipt of your proposal and am minded to accept it. Thank you!</i> (Captain Wentworth asks if she's quite certain.) <i>I am. I am determined I will. And nothing, you may be sure, can ever persuade me otherwise."</i> - Persuasion (2007)<br />
<i>"And yet," said Anne to herself, as they now moved forward to meet the party, "he has not, perhaps, a more sorrowing heart than I have. I cannot believe his prospects so blighted for ever. He is younger than I am; younger in feeling, if not in fact; younger as a man. He will rally again, and be happy with another."</i> - (about Captain Benwick, novel)<br />

<b>Biography: </b>Born August 9, 1787, Anne is the second oldest of three daughters born to Baronet Sir Walter Elliot and his wife Lady Elizabeth Elliot. Her mother died when Anne was fourteen leaving the her and her two sisters to be raised by their prideful father and mother's sensible friend Lady Russell.<br />
While attending school in Bath Anne became close to an older student, Miss Hamilton (later Mrs. Smith), who helped Anne through her grief over her mother's death.<br />
When Anne came home to Kellynch in1806 she met handsome young Frederick Wentworth (then a navy Lieutenant) who was visiting his brother Edward the curate at Monkford. They fell deeply in love and when Wentworth asked her to marry him she happily said yes. Upon meeting with disapproval from her father (who thought it a degrading alliance) and Lady Russell (who thought it a most unsuitable match), Anne doubted that she would make a suitable wife for Wentworth and is persuaded to refuse him. Suffering greatly from this disappointment and regret Anne prematurely looses her bloom, spirits and enjoyments of youth.<br />
About three years later Anne recieved a proposal of marriage from Charles Musgrove (the younger) son and heir of Charles Musgrove Esq. of neighboring Uppercross. Although his sisters think Lady Russell persuaded her to refuse him, Anne refuses him because he's just a good friend and she's still in love with Wentworth. Charles doesn't suffer and he marries her sister Mary the next year and they have two sons.<br />
When her mother was alive there was sense and economy in their family home of Kellynch Hall, but after her loss Anne's elder sister Elizabeth became acting mistress of the house and Sir Walter continually spend above his income and becomes heavily in debt. The novel begins in the year 1812 when Sir Walter's money troubles come to a crisis forcing changes. Anne urges retrenching but her father and sister's pride could not allow such severe economizing. Lady Russell and Mr. Shepherd (Sir Walter's lawyer) finally persuade Sir Walter to move to a smaller residence in Bath and rent Kellynch Hall to Admiral Croft, a navy man.<br />
When Sir Walter, Elizabeth and Elizabeth's widowed friend Mrs. Clay go to Bath, Anne goes to stay with her sister Mary and brother-in-law Charles at Uppercross Cottage. Anne is welcomed and appreciated by Charles' parents Mr. & Mrs. Musgrove and sisters Henrietta & Louisa who all confide in her about their family disagreements. When they take up residence at Kellynch Hall Admiral and Mrs. Croft form a friendship with the Musgroves. Mrs. Croft's brother is Captain Frederick Wentworth, who having great success in the navy, is now home in England and visiting his sister. Anne is quite unsettled at their first meeting but as Captain Wentworth becomes quite a favorite with the family at Uppercross she becomes more comfortable. She is pained however when Captain Wentworth seems to be paying attentions to Henrietta and especially to Louisa Musgrove.<br />
When Captain Wentworth shares his intentions of visiting a few of his brother officers at the seashore in Lyme Charles and Mary decide to make up a party and invite Henrietta, Louisa and Anne to join them. Anne enjoys meeting Captain and Mrs. Harville and forms a friendship with Captain Benwick, a young man disappointed in love, who she discusses poetry with. One day while walking on the Cobb in Lyme Anne is admired by a gentleman who Mary later discovers is their father's estranged heir Mr. William Elliot. Later that day Louisa, showing off to Captain Wentworth, foolishly jumps off high steps and severely injures her head. Captain Wentworth advises that Anne should stay in Lyme to nurse Louisa, but when Mary Musgrove complains he takes Anne and Henrietta back to Uppercross where the Musgroves must be told of Louisa's accident.<br />
Anne spends Christmas with Lady Russell, then the two of them travel to Bath where Anne is received rather coolly by her father and sister. In Bath she officially meets Mr. William Elliot who is now on good terms with her father and making himself agreeable to Elizabeth and Mrs. Clay. Anne finds Mr. Elliot sensible and is almost caught up in Lady Russell's dream of the pair marrying so Anne could have her deceased mother's role as Lady of Kellynch.<br />
Anne becomes reacquainted with her old school friend Mrs. Smith who is now a poor widow. Her visits to Mrs. Smith displease her father and Elizabeth but Anne's kind visits are a great encouragement to her invalid friend.<br />
Anne recieves a letter from her sister Mary telling about the surprising engagement of Louisa Musgrove to Captain Benwick. Admiral and Mrs. Croft come to Bath and Anne is glad to hear from them that Captain Wentworth was never attached to Louisa and is now coming to Bath as well. Anne meets Captain Wentwoth in a tea shop on a rainy afternoon but their conversation is interrupted by Mr. Elliot coming to take Anne home. The next evening Anne attends a concert with her family where she talks at length with Captain Wentworth about their experiences in Lyme. Captain Wentworth leaves the concert early when he hears rumors that Anne is to marry Mr. Elliot.<br />
The next day Mrs. Smith proves invaluable when she is able to tell Anne about Mr. Elliot's true nature. Later that day Anne visits Mrs. Musgrove who has come to Bath with Charles, Mary, Henrietta and Captain Harville to buy wedding clothes for Louisa and Henrietta who are soon to be married. Anne has a conversation with Captain Harville about whether men or women are more constant in love. Captain Wentworth, overhears their conversation, writes the most romantic letter of proposal to Anne that he leaves for her. Anne is much effected by finding out that Captain Wentworth's love is as unchanged as her own. She meets Captain Wentworth in the street soon after; they walk, talking over their feelings and futures.<br />

<b>Biography:</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b> </b> Elizabeth is the second oldest of five daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet. Since their home, Longbourn, is entailed and Mr. and Mrs. Bennet do not have any sons, the estate will go to Mr. Bennet's cousin, Mr. Collins, a clergyman. Since she and her daughters will be turned out of their home when her husband dies, Elizabeth's mother, Mrs. Bennet, is determined to marry off her daughters to rich men. With the news of Netherfield Park being let (at last), Mrs. Bennet is determined to see one of her daughters married to the rich Mr. Bingley. When the Bennets meet Mr. Bingley at a ball, Elizabeth notices that Mr. Bingley was quite taken by her sister Jane. Elizabeth also meets Mr. Bingley's rich friend, Mr. Darcy, who refused to ask Elizabeth to dance, saying, "She is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt <i>me</i>." Because he wounded her pride, Elizabeth became prejudiced against Mr. Darcy and thought him an arrogant, proud man.<br />
One day, Mr. Bennet receives a letter from Mr. Collins that says that he will come to Longbourn to stay a while. At Longbourn, Mr. Collins proves himself to be pompous and odious. He wishes to marry one of Mr. Bennet's daughters: first he sets his eyes on Jane, but hearing that she may soon be engaged moves his eyes towards Elizabeth, much to Elizabeth's chagrin.<br />
While at a party at her Aunt Phillips's, Elizabeth meets the dashing George Wickham, a man who has just taken a commission in the militia. While talking to Mr. Wickham, Elizabeth hears that Mr. Darcy and Mr. Wickham grew up together at Mr. Darcy home, Pemberly, and that Mr. Darcy cheated Mr. Wickham out of his rightful inheritance. Hearing this, Elizabeth becomes even more prejudiced against Mr. Darcy.<br />
After staying with the Bennets for a while, Mr. Collins proposes to Elizabeth saying that it would be right for a clergyman to set the example of matrimony, that it would add to his happiness, and (though perhaps he should have mentioned this first) his patroness Lady Catherine de Bourgh said that he should marry. Since Elizabeth did not love him, she refused. However, Mr. Collins does not take her refusal seriously, leading Elizabeth to leave the room. Mrs. Bennet, hearing about this incident, pleads with Mr. Bennet to make Elizabeth marry Mr. Collins, but Mr. Bennet says that if Elizabeth does not marry Mr. Collins, her mother will not see her again, but he won't see her again if she does. This prompts Mr. Collins to leave Longbourn for Lucas Lodge to propose to Charlotte Lucas, Elizabeth's friend.<br />
Elizabeth visits Mr. and Mrs. Collins after they are married at their home Hunsford in Kent with Charlotte's father and sister. They visit Lady Catherine de Bourgh and meet Lady Catherine's daughter, Anne de Bourgh, who is a sickly girl. One day, it is announced that Mr. Darcy and his cousin, Colonel Fitzwilliam, are visiting their aunt (Lady Catherine). Mr. Darcy took every opportunity of meeting with Elizabeth, which puzzles her. When walking one day with Colonel Fitzwilliam, Elizabeth learns that Mr. Darcy "saved [Mr. Bingley] from the inconveniences of a most imprudent marriage." Elizabeth realizes that Mr. Darcy separated Jane and Mr. Bingley. While Elizabeth is alone, Mr. Darcy visits her and proposes marriage, but references her lesser status than his. Elizabeth refuses him. When asked why she has rejected him, Elizabeth states that it was because he separated Mr. Bingley and Jane, from what she heard from Wickham, and because he was arrogant and proud. Mr. Darcy then leaves.<br />
The next day, Mr. Darcy happens upon Elizabeth during one of her walks and hands her a letter. In the letter, Mr. Darcy explains that he didn't feel that Jane was in love with Mr. Bingley and because the Bennets (except for Jane and Elizabeth) acted with impropriety, he separated Jane and Mr. Bingley. He states that he regretted concealing that Jane was in London from Mr. Bingley. The letter continues about Mr. Wickham. Mr. Darcy reveals that Mr. Wickham and him grew up together and was treated like a son by the late Mr. Darcy who intended Mr. Wickham for the church and would give him the parsonage when he died. When old Mr. Darcy died, Mr. Wickham declined going into the church and instead wanted to go into the law and was compensated for the parsonage. It also turned out that Mr. Wickham convinced Georgiana Darcy to elope with him, but when Mr. Darcy found out he broke it up. Elizabeth realizes that she was wrong in believing Wickham.<br />
Elizabeth later goes on a trip with Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner to Derbyshire. While staying at the inn at Lambton, the three visit Pemberly, the home of Mr. Darcy, while he is away. While touring Pemberly, Elizabeth encounters Mr. Darcy, who returned a day early. Mr. Darcy welcomes Elizabeth and Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner to Pemberly and shows them around. The next day, Mr. Darcy introduces Elizabeth to his sister, Georgiana; Elizabeth and Georgiana grow close and Elizabeth begins to fall in love with Mr. Darcy.<br />
Elizabeth receives a letter from Jane one day saying that Lydia had eloped with Wickham and are somewhere in London. Mr. Darcy happens upon Elizabeth when she discovers this news and says that he will keep the unhappy truth concealed. Elizabeth and Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner return to Longbourn.<br />
News of the scandal begins to spread and the Bennet girls' chance of getting married are dying. Mr. Bennet receives a letter from Mr. Gardiner that they have found Lydia and Wickham and are making arrangements for the wedding. After the wedding, the newlyweds visit Longbourn, and Lydia accidentally tells Elizabeth that Mr. Darcy was at the wedding. Elizabeth writes to Mrs. Gardiner to find out why Mr. Darcy was there; Mrs. Gardiner responds that Mr. Darcy found Lydia and Wickham, payed off Wickhams debts, and brought the wedding about. Elizabeth confronts Wickham and says that they should not quarrel about the past.<br />
News arrives that Mr. Bingley has returned to Netherfield and proposes to Jane. Lady Catherine soon after arrives at Longbourn to confront Elizabeth about whether her and Mr. Darcy are engaged. When Elizabeth says she is not, Lady Catherine asks if she promises not to be to which Elizabeth refuses to make the promise.<br />
On a walk one day, Elizabeth thanks Mr. Darcy for helping them with Lydia's wedding. Mr. Darcy says that he still feels the same way about Elizabeth when he proposed to her, but he won't say anything else about it if she says so. Elizabeth admits she loves him and they become engaged.<br />
After the wedding, Mr. and Mrs. Darcy live at Pemberly, and Mr. Bennet and Kitty visit them often. Mr. and Mrs. Bingley move a short distance away, so the two sisters can visit each other often.<br />
