I actually quite liked this. The characters are all compelling, and the way social class undertones everything is so well done. Fanny is a brilliant character in that she is an observer of the others. She is astute and is far more aware of social rules than the others, especially Maria and Julia. To add to this, she is kind and loyal, despite the fact that the others may not always deserve this, especially not Sir Thomas or Edmund. But she is good, first and foremost, and that is what I love about her.
