Mansfield Park: Chapters 31 - 34

The men in Fanny's life just don't understand. After getting an unexpected and unwanted proposal from Henry Crawford, Fanny spends the rest of these chapters telling him no. But Henry isn't the only one Fanny has to deal with. Sir Thomas freaks out when she tells him she will not marry Henry. Surely Edmund will come to her rescue... yeah, no.

This week Elle and Catrina get angry at all of the men at Mansfield Park. They remind the characters again that no means no. Fanny shouldn't have to deal with all this nonsense cuz she doesn't want to marry a trash king. Also, what the heck Edmund?! You're better than that.
