gitanjali 's review for:
Mansfield Park
by Jane Austen
Fanny Price is often seen as a quiet, morally strong heroine, but for me, she is also too passive and timid. While her values are clear, she rarely speaks up or takes action. Even when she disagrees with others, she stays silent instead of standing her ground confidently.
At times, Fanny comes across as judgmental, especially toward people like Mary Crawford. Instead of trying to understand them, she clings to her own ideas of what is "right," which can feel self-righteous. Her lack of growth and change makes her less interesting than other Austen heroines like Elizabeth Bennet or Emma.
While Fanny represents moral strength, her lack of boldness and energy makes the story feel slow. I respect her principles, but I wish she had shown more courage and personality.
