Mansfield Park: Chapters 6-10

The Daily Knightley

WHEW, more love triangles than a geometrist can handle! Jessie and Annie return to Mansfield Park and try to sort out all the crisscrossing connections, talk about the unkosher way the others talk about Fanny's physical abilities, whether Rushforth should be sympathized, and why Mary Crawford is no Caroline Bingley. Also, Henry Crawford: Is he cute or is he tall and white?
Mild CW: For discussion on sexual consent while we talk about "Brigerton" on our book/media roundup (which we loved but are not blind to its flaws):
"Why Brigerton Is Problematic || Colorism, Race Baiting and Implicit Bias"
"How Bridgerton Handles the Book’s Wildly Controversial Scene"
