"Persuasion" is the final novel by Jane Austen, completed in August 1816, less than a year after the death of the author, published works came in 1818. "Persuasion" is a unique style quite different from the past Jane Austen novel. Whether the novel is creative thinking, character shape, or expression, with the Austen, compared to the other works there are many different characteristics. It can be said that it is an alternative of Austen's novel. Although critics view of the novel rather than consensus, but one thing is very clear, as her later years in Austen and the final unique works of any non-contentious Austen researchers to recognize their pivotal position.This novel uses the first three chapters of it to shape the characters in the novel characteristics of the specific detailed analysis and elaboration of this work focused on the interpretation of the main characters in the values, moral values and marriage work with people in Austen previously creative changes in combination with a chapter in Austen was a big life change in the context of the times on this shift to a more comprehensive and objective analysis.In this paper, the outcome of study of the major figure in shaping is:First, through the "round figures" shape, to make the characters become more plump and fresh image. The creative people of Austen typical are round, or can say they are able to round development. The representative of these figures rounded shape, the novelist makes the completion of the task to adapt to the environment, and so this figure with other aspects of the work to be consistent. Sir Walter is the most ironic image of the father in all the novels written by Austen. Extreme vanity of his character, often for his own instrumentation and detract from the fact that is self-advantageous position. Conceited, vain love of things and people around the lack of fair and objective evaluation, so that his own lack of a clear understanding of responsibility. There is another ironic person called Mr. Eliot. He is Sir Walter's heir; he inherited not only of Sir Walter hypocritical and selfish, but also the despicable nature of their extreme play. It is the shape of such figures, making the story of"persuasion"is the ups and downs of development, thought-provoking.In the novel in the shape of several positive characters is also very fresh. Navy is a considerable amount of ink commendable job spend in the novel, the novel created a love of the Navy General Ashcroft and his wife and Captain Wentworth hero. Colonel Wentworth actor, the author describes in the book of his is not the ink, but does give the impression that Blair has a gentle and reserved a good impression.It is the few representative figures circular shape in this novel, makes the writer to complete the task to adapt to the environment, and so this figure with other aspects of the work to be consistent.Second, independent and mature through the heroine's image-building, to make the expression of the female of "moral educator" concept by the author.Anne is described of the oldest, most mature heroine by Austen, in her concept of "Sense and Sensibility" the perfect combination. On the one hand, Anne has a strong self-control and positive moral values, respect for others and understand their own. On the other hand, she has a rich dynamic world of feelings, with a total fine in their own show, and sincerely concerned about the infection of others, always went to create a harmonious, pleasant and harmonious atmosphere of feelings. This can show that equality between the sexes is frank, mutual respect the basis of mutual love. If there is no equality, there is no true love.The abandoned with the theme of Cinderella's fairy princess are skillfully combined by Jane Austen in the "persuasion". Cinderella has been a disproportionate Anne's father rose up, but this did not lose her natural virtues and gentle temperament, excellent quality of Anne's father and sister with her snobbish vanity in stark contrast to the image. Love both her loyalty and care, although, unfortunately, for eight years, but relying on the help and gentle moral virtues to conquer all, and ultimately became a naval officer's well-being of his wife, the sanctity of the great show.Third, to use the adoption of the new image of women and the highly regarded of the Navy class, to make the images created by the realization to be self-transcendence.In the novel of "persuasion", Jane Austen created a completely new image of women, of which there is a typical representative of the heroine Anne Elliot, Captain Wentworth's sister, Mrs. Croft and Anne's friend Mrs. Smith.Anne Elliot is the similarities and differences unusual heroine, she is smart, beautiful, both the loyalty of love and careful, she maintained a total accident when the attitude of the broader picture. But her character is Sophie but there are just, and rigid-flexible economy. In the "persuasion" in Austen for women re-establishes the scope of activities, so that completely new women came into being, and this is Mrs. Croft. She is an independent, self-confident assertive housewife. Austen expressed the view --- the marriage should be built on the basis of mutual respect. From the describe of Mrs. Ashcroft, we can clearly understand that with the changes in British society at that time, women have begun to enter the new areas of activity, but also showing a new personal style, from Austen's view, the women and men as have intellectual and rational, the same can be a leader in life, not just as wives and mothers. Mrs. Croft is the portrayal of women. There is a typical figure of the novel's minor characters - Mrs. Smith; her novels are still in distress noble personality. It is this talented, there are intellectual, self-improvement self-image of strong women at that time British society rejected the so-called men and women are born as the fallacy that they totally should have equal rights with men, in particular the right to education.Novels a good impression of the Navy left, they did not have wealth and status, but on their own ingenuity and hard work to win everything, they live free and fulfilling. From the novel of those Navy shaping a positive image of Austen is not difficult to see such a progressive class is very appreciative of the Navy, and Anne expressed the feelings of Austen is on the emerging class feeling respected.Four is characters shaped by the characteristics of the late Austen to change the thinking of creative works.Shaping in the first figure is the values and ethics change. The author's love and hate is through the thoughts and feelings of the heroine Anne and reflected in behavior. Mexican grove like Anne's parents, General Ashcroft and his wife enjoy the people, love the character of Wentworth. In the "persuasion", the authors stressed that these people are not the so-called behavior and deficiencies in education, but they reveal a profound intrinsic qualities. The author stressed the importance of couples Sergio hospitality, and his wife Corot straightforward and frank. There Colonel Wentworth, his magnanimous, hospitable, helpful character is admired by everyone. It can be seen that in the "persuasion", the Austen has abandoned some of the old values; manners and education no longer believe that is an important ethical standards. Figures followed by the shape change of marriage. Anne spoke about the work and more twists and turns of the mill love story. No doubt an indication of the outcome of the story of the author's later years of marriage, and that marriage should be based on love. In love, the emotion is no longer in a secondary position. In marriage, that women and men share weal and create a better life.In the creation of means to pay more attention to the romantic color characterization. The past few touches of the novel's description of natural scenery in Austen, in her work even harder to see to the intentionally mountains and lakes describe, but "persuade" deviated from its usual practice. Cross on the outskirts of the book on the autumn and the description of Lyme landscape area, gives a sense of beautiful.Creative thinking in British society at the time fit the broader context of social change. Austen is the end of the eighteenth century the beginning of the nineteenth century, an outstanding writer. At this time is in major turmoil in the United Kingdom, the period of great change.In this era of property inherited by men, master, not the social status of women, which prompted a growing recognition of Austen, a cruel reality that the success of women in marriage decision whether their place in society, marriage is only money can we ensure that women enjoy the rich life of carefree, Austen era of women's situation and the fate of the impact of the theme and style of the author's orientation. It can be said that Austen's unique situation of women in the times and the fate of the Austen creative catalyst for change in thinking.
