1. Did you like "Persuasion"? Did you like the book or the movie better?
2. Did you find the book hard to read?
3. What would you say is the significance of the title "Persuasion". How are the
novel's characters positively and negatively affected by persuasion in the story?
4. Who was your favorite character?
5. One website I found said the genre of "Persuasion" was: "Novel of manners.
This type of novel is not about the education or growth of one particular individual
but instead is a story of how a few central characters interact within society, navigating
the rules and structures which govern their lives.". Would you agree with that?
6. Do you find it amazing that girls from the same family can be so different? What
affect do you think the obvious partiality had on each girl?
7. Can you imagine waiting for someone for 8 years like Anne and Captain Wentworth?
8. I liked reading about the scenery, towns, inns, etc. Were you able to picture where
they were when they went for walks, ate dinners together, etc? Was the scenery in
the movie like you imagined as you read the book?
9. What do you think of the importance placed on "class" and social status?
10. Are you a Jane Austen fan? Do you find it hard to imagine that not everyone is?
