ving out of Kellych HallAfter Cinderella’s mother has been dead, she is forced to move out of her room and work in the kitchen. Anne also suffers the same situation. The Elliots have to move out of Kellynch Hall. It is Cinderella’s stepmother who makes her to leave her home, while it is Sir Walter’s imprudence and insensible extravagance that cause the Elliots to leave their home and retrench in Bath. After leaving Kellynch Hall, Anne seems to be homeless. When the Elliot is going to move to Bath, Anne is thought to be of no use, or no importance, in the choice of the house, which they are going to secure. However, something occurs to give her a different duty. Mary often feels a little unwell, so she requires Anne to e to Uppercross Cottage, and bears her pany as long as she should want her, instead of going to Bath. Mary says she cannot possibly do without Anne。 and Elizabeth’s reply is, “then I am sure Anne had better stay, for nobody will want her in Bath”(Austen, 2001: 40). Under such circumstances, Anne is glad to be thought of some use, and at least better than being rejected as no good at all. On the other hand, Anne is unwilling to move out of Kellynch Hall. She can’t bear the thought that such a respected, landed family as hers must live in rented rooms in a city, while their home is inhabited by others. She is further dismayed at the small degree to which her father and sister seem to be upset by this. Anyway, she can do nothing to it, because she is just Anne. Eight years’ waitingAt the beginning of the novel, Anne is narrated as a twentyseven years old lady with no fortune, whose bloom has vanished early. Though she was born in an aristocratic family and had been a pretty girl, she couldn’t get the estate that she deserves to have due to her father’s imprudence and insensible extravagance, therefore, she is an aristocratic lady with no money and dowry. When Anne was nineteen, she refused Captain Wentworth’s propose. The failure of her first love made her sad and sorrowful。 on the other hand, it also tempers herself, as well as makes her to bee mature in the agony in which“she is torn between her duty to her class and her passion for Captain Wentworth”(楊柳, 1995). When Captain Wentworth and Anne meet again, Anne observes him to see whether he still loves her or not, besides, she tries to refrain her sensibility and show her sense. All these show that Anne has been a mature lady。 she deserves Captain Wentworth’s love. The twists and turns in love relationship When it strikes the twelve o’clock, Cinderella has to leave the prince. They go through several twists and turns in their relationship, eventually they do get married. The same is true to Captain Wentworth and Anne. At first, they fell in love with each other. However, when Captain Wentworth proposed to Anne, she refused out of her duty to the class and Lady Russell’s persuasion. Eight years later, they meet again, but they are confused by the appearance of a third party, Louisa and Mr. Elliot. The potential love between Captain Wentworth and LouisaWhen Captain Wentworth shows up in Uppercross, he is weled by the Musgrove, especially Miss. Mussgrove, Louisa. Since Captain Wentworth lives there for a time, they often go out for hunting and walking. During one of their walkings, when Wentworth mentions Admiral and Mrs. Croft, Louisa cries with enthusiasm:“If I loved a man, as she loves the Admiral, I would always be with him, nothing should over separate us, and I would rather be overturned by him than driven safely by anybody else”(Austen, 2001: 97). Wentworth feels excited and surprised. Obviously, Louisa’s these words impress Wentworth, and show that she likes him. Captain Wentworth also admires her for her resolve and determination, especially in contrast to Anne39。s prudence and what he sees as Anne39。s lack of conviction. When they are in Lyme, an accident happens. Louisa, to show her enjoyment, runs up the steps to jump down. Though Wentworth has put out his hands, she is too quickly to jump down that Wentworth cannot catch her, therefore she falls on the pavement unconsciously. Wentworth is almost supposed to marry Louisa out of moral duty. As a result, Louisa is really a great obstacle to the relationship between Anne and Captain Wentworth. The potential love between Mr. Elliot and AnneThe accident happened in Lyme is indeed a turning point of the novel. Mr. Elliot, the heir presumptive of Sir Walter, shows up in Lyme. When Anne and Henrietta stroll down to the sea before breakfast, they meet Mr. Elliot and “Anne39。s face caught his eye, and he looked at her with a degree of earnest admiration, which she could not be insensible of”(Austen, 2001: 120). It was evident that the gentleman, pletely a gentleman in manner, admired her exceedingly. When Anne returns to the inn, she finds that she and Mr. Elliot live in the same one. Since he is a man of exceedingly good manners, Anne feels that she should like to know who he is. After returning from Lyme, Anne goes to visit Lady Russell. Lady Russell is happy to find Anne is improved in plumpness and looks. When Anne receives her pliments on the occasion, she has the amusement of connecting them with the silent admiration of her cousin, and of hoping that she is to be blessed with a second spring of youth and beauty. When Lady Russell meets Mr. Elliot, she thinks highly of him, she also thinks that Anne and Mr. Elliot are very likely to get married. Here, Mr. Elliot is really a great threat to the relationship between Anne and Captain Wentworth. The misunderstanding between Anne and Wentworth In fact, it is Wentworth and Anne’s not knowing themselves clearly that leads to the misunderstanding between them. When Wentworth reappears in Anne’s life, he thinks that Anne has altered so much beyond his recognization. He even pares himself to be a nut。 a beautiful nut has weathered the storms and stayed on the tree, unlike the others. Wentworth uses this nut a
