Persuasion by jane austen?

How the Navy handled / seen in this novel?

Well, it is mainly portrayed as a positive, since Anne Elliott is in love with a sea captain and enjoys the good company of friends and family. However, the whole reason she did not marry not Captain Wentworth, when he first asked it was because he was not yet a master rich, but a penniless sailor. I think the pride Wentworth to be a self-made man is evident throughout the book – which contrasts with the father of Anne. Although this gentleman "is still spending more than he has, he is the terror of the "new money" and hates the fact that poor men can go far in the Navy versus Army land, where money is needed to buy commissions.

Jane Austen: Blood Persuasion $9.99 It is 1810, and the Damned are out of favor—banished from polite society. Jane Austen’s old undead friends have become new neighbors, raising hell in her tranquil village just in time to interrupt Jane’s work on what will be her masterpiece. Suddenly Jane’s niece is flirting dangerously with vampires, and a formerly respectable spinster friend has discovered the forbidden joys of intimate congress with the Damned (and is borrowing Jane’s precious silk stockings for her assignations). Writing is simply impossible now, with murderous creatures prowling the village’s once-peaceful lanes. And with the return of her vampire characteristics, a civil war looming between factions of the Damned, and a former lover who intends to spend eternity blaming her for his broken heart, Jane is facing a very busy year indeed.

Persuasion $9.99 Jane Austen’s last and most melancholy novel was published posthumously in 1818. In PERSUASION, Austen creates a strong, mature, and independent heroine, Anne Elliot. Having foolishly broken off an engagement eight years earlier to Frederick Wentworth, a penniless naval officer, Anne at the age of 27 has remained unmarried–and secretly devoted to Wentworth. Living with her vain, self-absorbed, and (of course) ridiculous father, Anne is sinking gently into a resigned spinsterhood when Wentworth, who has gained wealth and a name for himself, comes back into her life. Set in 1814 and 1815, PERSUASION was written in 1816, when Jane Austen was already ill; perhaps her decline left its mark on the novel. PERSUASION, however, while more serious in tone than Austen’s other works–and, interestingly, more attuned to landscape and the beauties of nature–retains her gift for satire and her sometimes mordant wit.
