Line 5:
* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: Serious scholarly version: Many critics are of the opinion that Mary Crawford is similar to [[Pride and Prejudice|Elizabeth Bennet]]. While both Lizzie and Mary are extroverted, fearless, and independent young women, Lizzie still has moral standards, comprehension and empathy that Mary notably lacks. Lizzie was an affectionate and [[Deadpan Snarker|snarky]] [[Spirited Young Lady]], whereas Mary is a selfish [[Spirited Young Lady]] with no regard for the happiness of the people around her.
* [[Fan Preferred Couple|Fan Preferred Couples]]: Quite a few Janeites wish the novel had ended with {{spoiler|Fanny/Henry Crawford}} and {{spoiler|Edmund/Mary Crawford}} instead of {{spoiler|Fanny/Edmund}}, despite that Austen always strives to show that true love arises from similarity of character and that [[Reality Ensues|bad boys will not change for a good girl]].
** At least 2 [[Fan Sequel|Fan Sequels]] -- ''Susan Price'' and ''Mansfield Revisited'' -- ship Fanny's sister Susan with Tom Bertram, leading to [[Double in In-Law Marriage]].
* [[Misaimed Fandom]]: Sorry, Jane, but some readers still judge Fanny Price and Mary Crawford by their ''first impressions.''
* [[The Scrappy]]: Fanny is the least popular of Austen's heroines - though sometimes competing with [[Persuasion|Anne Elliot]].
