Jane Austen’s third novel is the most polarizing review-wise, so I was a tad skeptical going in. That being said, the complexities and depth of Mansfield Park is unlike anything in her extensive resume, creating a unique but still amazing read.
Mansfield Park follows Fanny Price, the daughter of a lower to middle class nuclear family, who moves in with her extremely wealthy extended family. Through the exploration of desire, wealth, and ultimately corruption, the “outsider” narrative perspective provides and outlook of society which has stood the test of time today.
Out of all the Austen heroines I have read so far, I think Fanny is my favorite. Where Elizabeth Bennett is fearless and out-spoken, Fanny is timid and shy. These qualities-paired with a good heart and constant anxiety-make her both relatable and lovable.
