Agreed. I don't blame Fanny for that defect in her character--considering her temperament and the circumstances, I think it's about as unavoidable as they come--I just want it acknowledged as a defect in her character. I have high and, I think, reasonable hopes that she will develop some basic assertiveness as she's more valued. In the meantime, though, her story is more painful than pleasant to me. MP is one of the few I almost never read.
