I am still amazed at the Bertram family dynamic. The most interesting part about this section of the book involved the play and what happened when their father came home. It is so funny to me that they were all saying how much their father wouldn't care and how much he would love the play and then the moment he walked in the door they were terrified(except Edmund and Fanny who were against it from the beginning). It also is odd to me that he tore everything down. Was the play really that bad?
Two other things especially disturbed me about this section. First when Mrs. Norris decided to totally tear apart Fanny in front of everyone and tell her she was worth nothing. I got a pit in my stomach. I can't believe how cruel they are to her.
The second was when their father actually asked Maria how she felt about Mr. Rushworth and gave her the chance to break the engagement and she chose not to and acted as if she loved him even if she secretly was only doing it to not give Mr. Crawford any satisfaction. WEIRD and demented if you ask me. I have a feeling that the Grants talked to Mr. Crawford and told him to go away if he was not interested in her.
Well I am really interested to read further and here how Fanny turns out, I have to tell you the only characters I really care will turn out well are Fanny and Edmund. So we will see as we read on.

I finally finished this section! And my goal is to read through the next one by Sunday night...
I, too, can't believe Maria's response to her father that she does want to marry Mr. Rushworth. Both of those sisters are very interesting to say the least...
And who does this Mr. Yates think he is? I'm glad Sir Bertram returned and he stands up for Fanny more than the rest of them! Too bad he wasn't around to give her more support growing up...
It was hard to get through this section, but now I'm onto the next few chapters and it is getting more interesting....especially with Mr. Crawford now finding interest in Fanny! I still hope she gets together with Edmund...
