Sir Walter's attitude toward Anne Written by Kevin S. (10/3/2011 3:21 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Elizabeth v. Sir Walter, penned by Adele W

Sir Walter is certainly an idiot in some sense. But his indifference to Anne might be partly explained by the typical father-daughter relationships of the time. If I'm not mistaken, father's were not that intimate with children in children, and daughters less so. Mr. Bennett in P&P seems an exception.

So, Sir Walter's natural self-absorption only adds to the distance between him and Anne.
