3. Write a precis of the passage given below and add a suitable title. 10

In Austen‘s Mansfield Park, Henry Crawford, who has, according to his sister,

made most of the women that he has met fall in love with him, sets out to make

the heroine of the novel, the shy, the retiring and the morally determined Fanny

Price, follow this path. In many ways, we might judge Henry‘s decision to do this

as actually worse than the act itself; he is simply bored in the country and decides

that since he has nothing better to do, he will ‗make Fanny Price fall in love with

me‘. In this decision, he establishes the beginning of a long trail of cold-hearted

villains who embark on paths of crime or seduction in order to amuse themselves

or to enlarge their own sense of capability. Equally, we might see Henry

Crawford as the first of the great figures in fiction who troubled by ennui, turns to

the corruption of virtue to offer some interest to the mind that is satiated by the

boredom of the everyday and the familiar. Henry Crawford seeks ‗sensation‘, that

appeal of the unknown or the different, to the person whose life is little challenge,

a way of life which is a defining characteristic for the lives of generations of

those living in wealth and without need.​
