Mansfield Park meta
Though I'm only up to Henry attempting to convince Fanny to marry him, I... am getting such a different feeling from the book than any film production. (Yes, I know, seeing the movie before reading the book. >.>) Edmund/Fanny actually strikes me as sort of an unhealthy relationship, with her not only depending on him for her happiness, but the things about him forming her mind and thoughts, and essentially telling her how she feels, it seems sort of... co-dependant.

And honestly, if it wasn't for her obsession/love for Edmund, I think Henry/Fanny would be kind of cute. She'd be a good influence on him. He talks to Mary about her morality being so admirable, and it feels as though from the narrative that if he had that good example he could actually learn to subtly change his behaviour for the better. And he seems intense enough that he actually would do his best to make her happy.

*goes to read the rest and probably be proven wrong now that she's said things publically*
