Melodramatic, selfish, pouty Mary Musgrove is the only Persuasion (2022) character who says anything meaningful about Regency womanhood that is congruous with gender expectations today.

Orcas typically live until their 90s. “Despite the significance of Hugo’s tragic story, it has not received the attention it deserves,” Stafki says.
