2) I think that Persse is presented as somewhat of a quiet but intelligent character. He is run by his emotions and falls in love quickly with Angelica at an early point in the book, without hardly knowing her. He seems to be able to handle some of the intellectuals at the conference though social settings are not necessarily his greatest asset. Obviously a college graduate who has just finished is Masters thesis on T.S. Elliot.
3) The conference is a ton of hustle and bustle with Persse not understanding a lot of what is going on around him. The parallels are that of a grand precession and the introduction of Angelica in which he falls immediately in love with. Persse is a young man straight out of college and put into a place that he is not ready for at the time.
