Mansfield Park Volume 3 Chapter 15

We have a funeral to attend: the funeral for Henry Crawford’s dignity and honor. Fanny gets word of a scandal, first from Mary, and then from the newspaper. The Bertrams fall into ruin, but it works out in Fanny’s favor. Plus, Julia runs off with Yates.

Patron Study Questions come from Avi, Linnea, and Mari. Topics discussed include Fanny’s new position in Mansfield Park, why Julia ran off with Yates, and Henry’s passionate comments about Fanny post-Maria.

Becca's Study Questions: Topics discussed include what the fuck Maria?, what Jane Austen is doing with Maria, why Henry disappoints us the way he does, and what genre Mansfield Park falls into.

Funniest Quote: “As to Mr. Crawford, she hoped it might give him a knowledge of his own disposition, convince him that he was not capable of being steadily attached to any one woman in the world, and shame him from persisting any longer in addressing herself.”

Questions moving forward: Are we ever going to hear from Henry and Maria about this? Is Tom gonna die??? What will happen with Edmund and Fanny?

Who wins the chapters? Fanny…duh.
