Description
-
Here we see Fanny and her Aunt Norris in the breakfast room at Mansfield Park. The butler came in saying that Sir Thomas wanted to see her in his office. Mrs. Norris told Fanny to sit down, sure that the butler was mistaken, and that Sir Thomas wanted to see her, not Fanny. The Butler confirmed that Sir Thomas wanted to see Fanny. Mr. Crawford was in Sir Thomas’ office and the two were left alone while Mr. Crawford proposed again, and Fanny once again turned him down. Mr. Crawford said that he would continue to try and convince her of his love, and then left for London. This scene occurs in chapter 32. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Fanny and Mrs. Norris wear regency style dresses with empire waists. Mrs. Norris wears a mop cap to cover her head. The butler wears a tailcoat and tailcoat with breeches. The regency period dated to the early nineteenth century (1811-1820) when George, Prince of Wales, later George IV (r. 1820-1830), reigned as regent for his mentally ill father, King George III (r. 1760-1820). The regency period is associated with the rise of neoclassicism in art and fashion.
