] I've just thought - is Edward always subconsciously attracted to Fanny? Or have I just started a double war combining the Fanny Price war with the Subconscious Attraction war from P&P?
My guess is that Mary is truly his first love, he falls so hard. But his second love is more like the Elizabeth Bennet based on gratitude and esteem variety--not the attraction of opposites, but the loving of like kinds. I cannot speak to his inner awareness r lack of it, since I feel I lack clear evidence of his sub- or unconscious state of mind which is commonly given in descriptions of physical actions, like Lady Macbeth's obsession with hand-washing, or soliloquies.
