Fanny Price is EVERYONE’s passive-aggressive queen 👸
Full disclosure: ‘passive-aggressive’ was mine for Mansfield Park - Fanny is my pass-agg queen 🖤

For the Austen short course, I asked students to come up with a one-word review for the book we were reading - which was super fun! (Ranging from ‘dull’ 😱 to ‘passive-aggressive’ 🤣)
Yesterday, we finished the course and I asked for a one-word review of it and am *delighted* with ‘joyful’ 🥰🥰🥰

Here is a thread of things I have learned (or thought more about) teaching Jane Austen: Reading, Romance, Revolution (a ‘knowledge exchange’ short course, dontchewno?) (1/7)

*Foucault voice* Mansfield Park is a prison.
None of the children at Mansfield Park are safe - I hadn’t thought of Mary & Tom etc as endangered by adult neglect cos Fanny hates them so, but they are just as unsafe in their uncaring environment as Fanny (4/7)
