At age 10, Fanny Price is sent by her destitute mother to live with her aunt and uncle, Sir Thomas and Lady Bertram. As a child she was often made to feel that she was the poor relation but by the time she reaches 18, and in the absence of her uncle who leaves on a business trip for an extended period, she begins to enjoy herself. When Henry Crawford and his sister Mary become neighbors to the Bertrams, opportunities abound. Edmond Bertram falls in love with Mary but she wants to marry a man with money, not someone destined to life as a clergyman. Meanwhile, Fanny's love for her cousin Edmond prevents her from accepting Mr. Crawford's proposal of marriage. ***I do not own any copyrights***

You're right that she does triumph in the end, but that's another thing that's always puzzled me. A critic once raised the question whether Fanny just earned her prize, or deserved it. It's all open to interpretation, I daresay. She does stay true to herself, but it would've done her good to stay true to others as well.
IMHO, Fanny never truly blossoms. At the end, she's still the same passive Fanny she always was. Sure, she's got iron backbone and moral principles, but she never speaks up (which is fully understandable, but frustrating). Austen described her temper as "supine and yielding" and said that in most situations she could only have gone away and cried. And even though she turns Crawford down, she refuses to explain why, which makes other characters misunderstand her. Fanny's difficult to understand.
Well, Fanny really doesn't develop as a character, does she? She's constant and rather static, and doesn't have to learn from her mistakes, simply 'cause she doesn't make any. In the novel, she represents pure morality. The only thing that does change about her, is her social standing/position in the family. At first, she's just a poor relation, but at the end she becomes the centre of the family. She's supposed to be timid. I really disliked this adaptation. Let's just call it "Piper Park"
have to say, it's a shame that such a promising cast is let down by a dire script that suggests the writers only very briefly glossed over the chapter summaries on spark notes. the biggest disappointment is the complete lack of character development in fanny, which is nothing against the actress, merely the writers.
The magic word is PURPLE!!!
Totally Sudden LOL (it seemed a bit cheesey
)
LOL 7:31
HAHAHA xD Like. Sudden awareness.
Songs of the angels.
LMAO.
hahahahha I know! I commented on Persuasion the other day and used words like "quite and contrary to ones belief" it wasn't until after I sent it that I though "who the hell talks like that now?"
maybe because people who know proper grammar and how to use it watch these type of movies..lol great movie though
Yes but I still feel like she was waiting for him all her life and then he finally decides to pay attention to her and she goes right for it- I feel that yes she finally did stand up for herself but it wasnt enough
Oh but Fanny blossoms in the book, and in the end she is strong - she stands up for herself and what she believes in refusing to marry Henry, even though everyone else thinks she's insane. She stays true to what she believes throughout the whole book, and she's the only one who sees people clearly for who they are. I think she's a wonderful character. she is so downtrodden in the beginning but she triumphs in the end.
Fanny is paying the price for the conflicts of the previous generations. Mrs Norris transfers all her dislikes and unhappiness with regards to Fanny's mother and what she did to Fanny. A easy target to vent out her displeasure.
Mrs Norris loves her nieces Maria and Julia because they are the privileged children of Sir Thomas. They can't do a thing wrong in her eyes. But she hates Fanny and looks down on her just because Fanny's mother married low. But Maria and Julia don't have any affection for Mrs Norris so it's a real punishment for Maria to have to live in isolation with Mrs Norris.
I like how people use such proper English when they comment on Jane Austen movies in general here on YouTube,
Has anyone else noticed it?
I find it quite pleasing..
"I've always loved this room " LOL
that's how you wash your hair in the olden days? ack, thank you lord for giving us 21st century showers!
What I do not get is why her particular attachment to Maria. Anyone?
