I know this isn’t directly related to Jane Austen, but it made me think of Captain Wentworth’s ‘half agony, half hope.’
If we take his half agony as half empty then his agony of his past with Anne is diminishing which means his half hope is his half full and it’s growing.
The more time he spends with Anne his agony is emptying out as his hope filling.
