Quote by Jane Austen
Elinor agreed with it all, for she did not think he deserved the compliment of rational opposition.
Summary
In this quote, Elinor acknowledges her agreement with someone's perspective or statement. However, the reasoning behind her agreement differs from a place of rationality. Elinor believes that the individual in question, whom she refers to as "he," does not merit the effort or consideration of logical opposition. It suggests that she may perceive this person as undeserving of her logical argument or that their viewpoint lacks the coherence or credibility required for a proper debate.
