Question

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.​
