okay and i haven not read the book yet but i have to say that the lead character be miscast . how can i say such a thing haven not read the book you ask . it simple . a a viewer of this miniseries and i grow irritate by the mannerism and gesture and look of the lead character and fannie price . it one thing to be a good person but it quite another to be a stick in the mud creature who disdain from look anyone in the face or otherwise meet their gaze . apart from the overdone susan b. anthony profile and she seem resolute in refuse to look at another person . the scene where edmond be pour his heart out to her and she be look straight ahead the whole time and force him to do the same . a a result and it be just awkward and i just couldn not fathom anyone be in love with her let alone both henry and edmond . many have say it be true to the book and if that be the case i find it hard to believe that jane austen would create such a character a her lead heroine . it possible to create a character who have be put upon by others and succeed in earn their trust and endearment but the portrayal of this character in this miniseries just do not do it for me .
