1. The reason why Anne didn't marry captain Wentworth
1.1. At the time Anne was in love with captain Wentworth, 8 years earlier then the story displays, he was very poor
1.1.1. Lady Russell talked Anne out of marrying him because he was poor
1.1.1.1. Obviously not marrying someone because he is poor is very stupid and ilogical but in the victorian age that was very smart and logical because there was a huge gap between the classes (both social and economical), and Anne could not permit to bind herself to a man of low origin
1.1.2. In the end Anne still loves him and he still loves Anne. Captain Wentworth is now, 8 years later, rich.
1.1.2.1. Maybe now Anne sees it as permitted to marry Captain Wentworth. Not just because she loves him, but also because she can, now that he's rich.
2. The dilemma of who to rent the house to
2.1. Sir Walter was very picky who to rent Kellynch-hall to
2.1.1. There are made a lot of presumptions about different people, sailors for example who are very neat
2.1.1.1. By discussing different kind of people, the Elliots impose they stand higher then these different kind of people, and they see a different in rank of different kind of people.
3. The reason sir Walter wants to move to Bath
3.1. Sir Walter thought it'd be a disgrace to live in a small house near Kellynch-hall
3.1.1. Then people could see how he degraded
3.1.1.1. He thought this would be a disgrace and an embarrassment
3.1.1.2. This imposes that he degrades from a class and that he thought it would be a bad thing. We see that different classes have a big role in the society of Jane Austens' novel Persuasion
