Persuasion/Fridge


Fridge Brilliance

  • Persuasion is my favorite novel, but the scene where Louisa cracks her head bothered me. You have two men who fought in the Napoleonic wars- and fought well, in a time where naval warfare was supremely bloody- and the only person who keeps it together is Anne? It seemed a bit Mary-Sueish, what with no one else thinking to go for a doctor or carry her into the house.
    Then I realized: PTSD.
