 SPLICEDwire | "Mansfield Park" review (1999)
The latest Jane Austen novel lovingly adapted to film, "Mansfield Park" features a predictably resolute heroine named Fanny Price, a 10-year-old girl from a poor family who is sent to live with wealthy relations at their country estate.
The first thing her aunt says to her is "Let's have a look at you...Well, I'm sure you have other qualities." When her uncle thinks she's out of earshot, he tells his daughters, "she's not your equal," and he insists she live in the servants' wing to prevent her from tempting her male cousins.
As Fanny is a writer herself -- regaling her younger sister with lively tales of the goings on at Mansfield Park and ruminating on the business-like machinations of society marriage in pre-Victorian England -- she becomes more than just another Austen heroine.
