Persuasion

I read Persuasion by Jane Austen. In my paper, I want to write about the concept of the "ideal man/suitor". I want to mainly discuss Wentworth, Admiral Croft and Sir Walter and how society views them (Sir Walter being viewed as the most elite and "worthy" even though he spends without thought, etc, and Wentworth and Croft are both hardworking Navy men.)

How bout no

I’d rather not read your silly book,
Or waste time dreaming of what was.
I won’t sadly sigh because
I made the most of how I looked.

You say their love was false, untrue?
You say what I chose I’d regret?
But I lived well, took the best I could get—
And that sure wasn’t you.

So no, I won’t bend beside the glowing bars,
Because your love so “true” has gone,
I’m glad to see you’ve moved along,
‘Cause I still don’t know who you are.
