Fanny is really an underrated Jane Austen heroine.
Yeah, no sh*t, Sherlock. I thought it was found obviously.
Why on earth is the wealthy Sir Thomas having his wife's niece pass around a food tray for company? Did all of his servants quit en masse and he and his sons had sprained all their ankles? Jane Austen's Sir Thomas was a very dignified, respectable, educated, ethical, and religious man with a strong sense of early 19th century propriety who sternly disapproved of his children's infatuation with the theatrical stage. Perhaps the modern British acting profession resented that and have spited Sir Thomas with this script? The conversation here sounds more like Henry and Mary Crawford's disreputable uncle than like Jane Austen's stern Sir Thomas. Fanny Price's spunky criticism to her uncle's face, in front of company, is also absurdly out of character. But then, a humble shrinking violet makes boring TV, and Jane Austen's Fanny Price would be simply soggy on camera. And what actress could ever understand a girl who is the opposite of an exhibitionist?
I learn a great deal about contemporary Britain from appreciating the discrepancies between Jane Austen's characters and their TV counterparts. When gentlemen and ladies in historic costumes speak inappropriately by Jane Austen's standards, it's because the gentlemen and ladies of Britain no longer follow or even understand those standards of propriety. Poor, nervous, priggish, little Fanny Price who lived in respectful awe of her distinguished uncle is filmed smartmouthing him while he is speaking in front of the ladies in an incredibly vulgar manner. Not true to Jane Austen, but faithful to modern British society, I assume. A fascinating descent. But, if they wish to film a period piece about slavery, then a biography of Elizabeth Barrett Browning would give the characters actual abolitionist material to squabble over, without making most of it up.
What did Maria say when Henry was speaking about Fanny?
I think Maria says, ‘Especially for the impure.’

Where is William?
MIRAMAX.... Cuándo ustedes hagan entrega de una novela por el canal youtube, especialmente las de Janne Austen, piensen en los millones de latinos que desean escucharla narrada en español latino, entonces me suscribire con gusto a su canal... Ahora es una ofensa, entregarla para los millones de hispanos parlantes, en Inglés, porque no podamos disfrutarla...
Aprender inglés te abre muchas puertas. Pero en todo caso, no es Miramax quien hace los doblajes, son compañías en Latinoamérica.
En español perderia la graciaa, el acento, la actitud inglesa...
Aprender inglés o leer...😊
Why is she sad? Is what Mr. Thomas is saying is sarcasm or what here? I dont get it.
Noob Hysteric This is my interpretation: First he talks about the slaves and shares his admiration of their physique and 'even' intellect. Combined with his suggestion to bring one woman over to serve them, might suggest that his admiration is more than platonic. When Edmund corrects him he, probably on purpose, misunderstands him with regard to the animal reference. Then Fanny supports Edmund from another angle with regard to freeing the slave once she is in England based on her reading or studying whilst complimenting Edmund for his support with that. Edmund compliments her right back and her remarks strike Sir Thomas as smart, which leads him to actually take notice of Fanny. He notices and says that she looks so fine, bordering on desire ... again. This embarrasses Fanny for obvious reasons besides the fact she does not like to be the centre of attention, which miss Crawford states so eloquently. Then Sir Thomas, probably in some attempt to rescue his reputation (desire for other women not his wife), improvises this diversion of a ball for Fanny to introduce her to society, because she looks so well and it would benefit her chances to marry well in the future. This is picked up without consulting Fanny herself plus the outcome will be that she is the centre of attention for a whole evening during the ball. Nowadays it would be considered so rude, at least I hope so, to talk and scheme about and for a person as if this person is not in the room.

Wow that's a lot of information. Thanks 😃
She's a forward thinking woman for the time, not just decoration, which is what he's treating her like. Also she doesn't like the limelight.
Sir Thomas is old school . Thinks only of a women's beauty as value. Especially if they have no money or possessions. Similar to Ms Austen at one time.
Why isnt she sad?
There was ABSOLUTELY nothing about slaves in the book. What the hell?
Why do you think they were going to Antigua? There's only one type of property in Antigua that can bring in that kind of money.
@@pamelatarajcak5634 And Fanny does ask Sir Thomas one question about slavery the night he returns. Edmund compliments her and wishes she had followed up with another question. It's in Chapter 21. Fanny says she longed to ask another but there was such a dead silence.
There was, actually. In addition to the plantation in Antigua that requires Sir Thomas to go there, which Ms. Tarajcak mentions to you, Fanny asks her uncle a question about the slave trade the night he returns ( in chapter 21).
@@skyj5529 thank you for your charitable answer. I unfortunately was being quite purposefully oblique and sarcastic.
They took too many harsh liberties with Sir Thomas’s character.
