I've spent all afternoon thinking about the line from Wentworth's letter "you sink your voice, but I can distinguish the tones of that voice when they would be lost on others" and about how that really is the most important part of the letter. Yes "you pierce my soul" and "I have loved none but you" and "I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago" are all more swoon-worthy. But the whole point of Persuasion is how Anne suffers because none of her friends or family acknowledge her needs or anything she says. She is made small by everyone around her. She is persuadable because she has been stripped of her agency; not by the circumstances of her life, but because the people in her life have talked over and down to her so much that she has stopped resisting. She knows that she won't be heard, so she just stops speaking. But then Wentworth hears her voice! He hears her, sees her, and he loves her for who she is, not what he wants her to be. I think Jane Austen knew exactly what she was doing by including that line. It's so subtle in such a purposeful way.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk

"O correr da vida embrulha tudo, a vida é assim: esquenta e esfria, aperta e daí afrouxa, sossega e depois desinquieta.
O que ela quer da gente é coragem.
O que Deus quer é ver a gente aprendendo a ser capaz de ficar alegre a mais, no meio da alegria, e inda mais alegre ainda no meio da tristeza! Só assim de repente, na horinha em que se quer, de propósito ― por coragem."
- Grande Sertão: Veredas (João Guimarães Rosa)

O clímax de Orgulho e Preconceito é tipo:
Elizabeth: Ele não me quer mais; não suportaria casar-se com a cunhada de seu odiado inimigo.
Darcy: vamos logo encontrar estas duas ovelhas desgarradas antes que eles prejudiquem a minha querida Lizzy.
