When Captain Wentworth returns, he extols the virtue of a woman who will not listen to others but forges her own way-alluding with some bitterness to his experience with Anne’s willingness to be persuaded from marrying him by Lady Russell.
However, the narrative ultimately complicates the virtues of a headstrong conviction in favor of the value of persuasion. Seven years later, Anne experiences unrelenting regret over her decision and becomes convinced that she would have been happier marrying Captain Wentworth as his predictions for his fortunes come true-suggesting that she has learned to favor romance over her initial prudence at her friend’s persuasion. Anne Elliot reveals her disposition for the former when she dissolves her relationship with Captain Wentworth on the advice of her good friend and mentor Lady Russell.
