I'm actually getting cross with the people who've been telling me for years that Fanny Price is inspid and weak and annoying. Like, guys, I think she's a teenager with low self-esteem who's been abused and neglected into being a people pleaser. If you think she's unrelatable, must be nice to have never been bullied like that, I guess? No Austen heroine suffered more, she's my sweet daft girl and she's trying.

In 1814, Austen had sisters Maria Rushworth and Julia Betram run away with their respective lovers, the same year in which step-sisters Mary Godwin and Claire Clairmont ran away with Percy Bysshe Shelley. Might have finally found the Austen-Shelley link I've long sought.

Truly, why the hell do some readers hate Fanny? Fanny is not the problem here, the problem is she's surrounded by infuriating morons. #fannyhatersdni
