It is unfortunate in Fanny’s world that, everything comes by merit through rewarding virtue where an individual solely determines his or her future based on what he or she does. Nevertheless, as opposed to many marriages in society where women get married based on family connections and prominence coupled with beauty, Fanny is out to earn her groom depending on her character and demeanour. Therefore, Fanny has to marry to claim her status in the society. In the nineteenth century, women gained status in the society by the person they get married to as opposed to nowadays where a woman can enter any profession and claim her status in the society. Though born in a piteous family, Fanny enjoys vibrant upbringing from her wealthy aunt. Mansfield Park is a story about a young woman, Fanny lost in the social web that she cannot identify with a specific place in society. However, the complexity in Mansfield Park surpasses any other work by Jane Austen. Typically, Austen’s work is usually complicated for she creates unusual characters and scenes. Mansfield Park, written by Jane Austen, is a complicated masterpiece but thrilling at the same time. ![]() |
