Focus on sympathetic view of all characters Written by Karen G (9/15/2010 4:10 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Welcome to the Mansfield Park Group Read!, penned by Carol

Hi, like Lisa, I hope to keep up... I actually have gotten ahead in the reading but way behind in reading posts! And responding at all. MP is one I've read the least and always felt slightly annoyed at all characters, but this read I'm trying to look at everyone with fresh and sympathetic (or empathetic) eyes. Also, did not JA write that MP was all about "ordination"? (I forget where I read that...) That is something I've been keeping in mind when reading it this go around.

I was surprised that I rushed past Ch 8 to Ch 9 last weekend and didn't want to stop! So, now need to play catch up on the posts. Happy to be here, and I know Carol, you'll do great! :)
