Seriously! Elizabeth Bennet is worth eight gazillion Fanny Prices. Or even, like, you look at Anne Elliot in Persuasion, and she's a) nice and good and sweet and b) undervalued and unappreciated by her family blah blah blah -- and yet? I LIKE her. No reason to punch her in the face at all!
Edmund is mostly good when he is around Mary Crawford. Whom we should hate because she is bitchy about her relatives and tells dirty jokes.
(...Possibly part of the reason I don't like Mansfield Park is how it forces me to the realization of how Jane Austen would have disapproved of me. Hee.)
You know, I didn't remember liking Anne Elliot much, but I reread Persuasion this summer and I actually really did! I think she has a spine in a weird way - like, she's stubborn in a quiet way, and she's more adult than Fanny Price. WHO JUST SUCKS.
