10. I like Henry a lot in the movie. The book... is actually the only Austen book I never managed to get through. (I even got through Northanger Abbey!) I love all the others, but that one just fell a little flat for me for some reason.

That said, the movie made me like it. But -- and I could be wrong here -- I think the film did some things with the plot, like merging Fanny with Jane herself (like, her saying yes to Henry only to say no the next day -- I don't know if that's in the book or not).

Anyway, I do like Henry a lot. And I feel terribly for him. Yeah, he made mistakes, and was kind of skeezy, but I do kinda ship him with Fanny. I like Edmund, too, but... that movie has the ONLY Austen 'ship I'm not 100% behind!

on the other hand, I kinda 'ship Tom with Fanny's sister, don't tell

sorry for the tl;dr!

ILU. Yeah, the Frances O'Connor film was kind of weird in that respect (but I have a lot of affection for it anyway - there's another unpopular opinion). I suppose Edmund's not so bad, but I resent the idea that Fanny's his second choice a lot.

It might just be that I find Henry/Fanny or Mary/Fanny so much more interesting, because they would make Fanny question her morality. And because I can see them coming round to her point of view a bit and it would be the best of both worlds.

Oh, I'd never thought of that. Neat.

I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints, the sinners are much more fun.

Ready for some more tl;dr? XD

This is going off the Frances O'Connor film again. I really should give the book another go some time...

I don't really think of Fanny as being Edmund's second choice, in part because I have trouble seeing Edmund/Mary *at all*. (Mary/Henry? Yes. Mary/Fanny? Definitely. But to me, she lacked any chemistry with Edmund.) I feel like Mary was just a distraction, and that Edmund was even kind of pushed into it. But if I were *Fanny* in that situation, I'd probably feel like second choice, so it's still a bummer.

(On the other hand, Colonel Brandon is kind of Marianne's second choice, and I love them like BURNING.)

And agreed that Henry and Mary would have made Fanny question her own morality, and hopefully become a little less rigid about things. And I do think Henry would have been a good, faithful husband to Fanny -- him sleeping with and running off with Maria had nothing to do with love and everything to do with desperation, imo. (Well, obviously it wasn't love -- but, what I mean is, I think it has to be taken into consideration that Fanny had done a pretty terrible thing to him, and he'd sunk just about as low as low could go.)

OKAY, ENOUGH TL;DR! :D :D :D
