Rushworth and Maria are engaged prior to Sir Thomas leaving for Antigua, which messes with the time line as they become engaged while Sir Thomas is away. Price send her daughter to live at Mansfield Park instead of the novel’s statement Fanny was brought to Mansfield on the request of her two aunts.

For some reason, this makes the novel hard to adapt. She has moments of weakness and strength like Anne Elliot, but has a bit more of a delicate nature like Marianne Dashwood. Mansfield Park is a difficult novel to adapt simply because Fanny Price is much more complicated than a majority of Austen’s female characters. This version was adapted by Maggie Wadey and was not received well by critics nor fans of Jane Austen’s works. Now we come to the last adaptation of Mansfield Park that is currently out there.
