Wit Beyond Measure

The Audacity of Edmund Bertram

April 13, 2022 • Wit Beyond Measure - Elle Kammerer and Catrina Mayer • Season 4 • Episode 9

Mansfield Park: Chapters 35 - 38

Edmund feels it's necessary to offer his opinion on the matter of Fanny and Henry's potential engagement. While he disguises his concern as help, it really isn't helpful at all. What's more, Sir Thomas decides to remind Fanny how good she's got it by sending her back home. Needless to say, Fanny needs a vacation, but she isn't going to find it at her parent's house.

This week Elle and Catrina agree that Edmund Bertram is the worst hero so far. Elle gets up in arms about his mansplaining. Catrina can't decide if dastardly is the right word to describe Sir Bertram. Either way, both men need to stop telling Fanny how to feel.

Also, the Price house is nothing but anxiety.
