Mansfield Park is the second Jane Austen book I have read (Emma the other) so I don’t pretend to be an expert on her. And I am not even familiar with the other stories that much. (keep in mind I am a boy so I was not raised on Austen) I have mixed feelings about Mansfield Park. There were things I liked a lot and other things I found disagreeable. I mostly liked Fanny. I think I liked her more than Emma. But I know Austen’s intent was to create Emma to unlikeable. I had Cinderella’s sympathy for Fanny, being bossed by cousins and aunts. But I also see her partly to blame for her circumstance, she is too timid too often. But maybe I am not remembering how little power a female had at the time. The book muddled down for me in the play section. First trying to decide on a play, then arguing over its production. Ugg. I realize it was the chunk of the book where the characters were flushed out and their interactions unfolded, but really it was a dull stretch. I am not sure if I bought the actions of the sisters Bertram. They seem so insistent on being proper and seem to pressure Fanny into acting “appropriately” but then they both run off at the end and act so inappropriate. Mary Crawford was very enigmatic too. I never quite knew if she was sincere in all her well wishing or if it was an act. At times she seemed fake, but there is no indication from Austen that she was anything but sincere. Maybe the lens of 2011 has jaded me from believing in Ms. Crawford. And I don’t know how to take Fanny and Edmund ending together. It seems to be the theme of Austen that love is often right under our noses if we are willing to re-evaluate our lives. Is Fanny just a rebound relationship for Edmund? At what point does your first cousin, raised like a sibling, become creepy? I was struck by the contrast of Austen’s treatment of the poor and Dickens. Dickens writes roughly 25 years later and seems to uplift the poor and want to show those better off that the poor are people too and should be treated as such. In Fanny’s episode in Portsmouth, the poverty of her family (which is far from true poverty) is seen as an obstacle and a shameful mark. It would seem that Fanny might have even changed her mind and her moral conviction about Henry Crawford just to be rescued from her plight in Portsmouth had enough time passed and had the shit not all hit the fan. I don’t mean to be overly harsh on Austen. She is telling a story and to understand the haves, the poor must be seen through their eyes. For all I know Austen could have done much in her life to assist the needy. I’ll continue to read Austen through my long rotation of authors. Torn on my rating, 2 1/2 stars is what I want to give it, but will settle for 3.
