<br/><br/> Mansfield Park is a study of three families- the Bertrams, the Crawfords, and the Prices--with the isolated figure of the heroine, Fanny Price, at its center.  Fanny's quiet passivity, her steadfast loyalty and love for the son of the family who regard hr as the poor relation, and who have taken her under their roof, are among the qualities whose true worth is not appreciated until they are tired against the brilliant and witty Mary and Henry Crawford, the unfortunate consequences of whose influence are felt by everyone.  Jane Austen uses Fanny's emotional involvement with the people around her to explore the social and moral values by which she and they try to order their lives.
