Mansfield Park Volume 3 Chapters 12-13
Notas do episódio
In today’s chapters, Fanny receives a BUNCH of letters. First, from Mary, in which we get confirmation that Mary and Edmund are not yet engaged; then, from Edmund, in which we hear all about how conflicted he is and learn that the Grants are going to Bath; and finally, from Lady Bertram, in which we learn that TOM IS DYING.
Topics discussed include Mary’s return to London society, Fanny’s bitchcrackers, why unrequited love is a tough trope, the tea from the Crawfords’ party, Fanny’s new return date, emotional fluffers, and Lady Bertram’s letter writing skills.
Patron Study Questions come from Angelika, Avi, Ghenet, and Maddie. Topics discussed include Mary’s true feelings for Fanny, the various sibling pairs in the book, why Mary starts drama between Maria and Henry and why she tells Fanny about it, and the comparison between Fanny and Edmund’s potential love interests with questionable morals.
Becca's Study Questions: Topics discussed include the separation of characters in this section of the book, why Tom is dying, and what would happen if Tom died.
Funniest Quote(s): She must have something to write about, even to her niece; and being so soon to lose all the benefit of Dr. Grant’s gouty symptoms and Mrs. Grant’s morning calls, it was very hard upon her to be deprived of one of the last epistolary uses she could put them to.
Questions moving forward: Is Tom gonna die????
Who wins the chapters? Tom!
