i doubt whoever write this screenplay have ever actually read mansfield park . or if they have it be not very well . none of the character be what they should be represent fanny be lively and conscious of her mistreatment and while sir thomas and who treat her very well and seem to have accidentally fall into aunt norris personality . additionally and a first person narrative by fanny be highly inappropriate to both the story and her character . fanny be not an entertaining heroine and and i would contend that she be not mean to be . additionally and in the movie version and fanny flirt shamelessly with edmund from the very beginning and when they have be raise a brother and sister . austen fanny would have shrink from flirtation of any sort and and the novel paint the fanny or edmund pairing a highly uncomfortable . a it should be . unlike some other jane austen novel ( p and p and emma ) and mansfield park do not rest on the strength of it female protagonist . it be a very different sort of novel than the others while it be not mean to be a love story . i watch this movie because i have just now finished read mansfield park and and i be absolutely horrify by what i see while miss austen be roll in her grave .
