Mansfield Park By Jane Austen tells the story of Fanny Price a frail quiet young woman who has none of the high spirits or wit of Elizabeth Bennet or Marianne Dashwood. Reared from the age of ten among wealthy relatives Fanny is an unobtrusive presence in the household at Mansfield Park useful and agreeable to everyone and steadfast in her secret affection for her cousin Edmund Bertram. Fanny's manner contrasts sharply with the livelier sometimes careless behavior of her cousins and their friends. Only Edmund spends time with the gentle Fanny although his own affections have been captivated by the sophisticated Mary Crawford. With Fanny's uncle Sir Thomas Bertram away on an extended stay in the West Indies the cousins and their friends decide to put on an amateur theatrical production of a scandalous French play. Only Fanny refuses to participate out of natural modesty and a certainty that her absent uncle would not approve. Sir Thomas returns unexpectedly and does not approve much to his children's chagrin but Fanny quickly falls from his favor when she refuses the proposal of Mary Crawford's brother Henry who had begun an unwelcome flirtation with her after Fanny's cousin Maria married another man. Distressed by her uncle's disapproval Fanny visits her parents and her eight brothers and sisters only to discover that her years at Mansfield Park have left her unable to fit easily into her noisy often vulgar family. She is summoned back by Sir Thomas when Maria leaves her husband for Henry Crawford and Maria's sister Julia elopes. Now fully appreciated by her uncle Fanny comes into her own winning the love of Edmund Bertram.
