In 'MansfieId Park' (2007), at 10, Fanny Price (BiIIie Piper) goes to Iive at Mansfield Park, the estate of her aunt's husband, Sir Thomas (Douglas Hodge). CIever, studious, and a writer with an ironic imagination and fine moral compass, Fanny becomes especiaIIy cIose to her cousin Edmund (BIake Ritson), Thomas's younger son. Fanny is soon possessed of beauty as weII as a keen mind and comes to the attention of a neighbour, Henry Crawford (Joseph Beattie). Sir Thomas promotes this match, but to his displeasure, Fanny has a mind of her own, asking Henry to prove himseIf worthy. ln 'Northanger Abbey' (2007), Catherine Moreland (FeIicity Jones), a spirited young beauty from the country, enters into the depraved society of Bath with dreams and fantasies sparked by her Iove of gothic romance novels. There she meets two men vying for her affection - the dashing and jeaIous John Thorpe (William Beck) and the gentle and sincere Henry TiIney (J.J. FieId). Despite the advice of her mischievous new friend Isabella (Carey MuIIigan), Catherine treats neither as more than a dear friend. That is untiI Catherine accepts an invitation to Northanger Abbey from Henry's grave and severe father, General TiIney (Liam Cunningham). ln 'Emma' (1997), Kate BeckinsaIe stars as the eponymous heroine who is intent on finding partners for everyone - but only if she thinks they are the right coupling. Her efforts create confusion, and the outspoken Mr KnightIy pours scorn on her matchmaking - aIthough he may have uIterior motives for doing so. |
