Mansfield Park by Jane Austen is a novel set in the early 19th century, following the life of Fanny Price, a young girl from a poor family who is sent to live with her wealthy relatives, the Bertrams, at Mansfield Park. Themes of class, morality, and the complexities of human relationships are central as Fanny navigates her place within this new environment. In the opening chapters, we are introduced to Fanny¡¯s background and her transition from her modest family to the opulent Bertram household. Fanny is shy and reserved, struggling to fit in with her affluent cousins, who criticize her education and background. However, her character unfolds as she interacts with various members of the Bertram family, especially Edmund Bertram, who treats her with kindness and respect amidst others¡¯ indifference. The early chapters set the stage for the intricate social dynamics and moral conflicts that drive the plot forward, laying the foundation for a story rich in class and ethical exploration.
