Fanny Price
Is  a character in Mansfield Park a novel by Jane Austen , it is a social satire.

There is a section of the book in which Fanny disapproves of and refuses to participate in a play that her cousins and neighbors are putting on at home for their own amusement. For this part of the story to make the least bit of sense to a modern reader, one needs to understand that this particular choice of home theatricals would be the modern equivalent of a group of teenagers voting to have a wild, high-risk party in their strict parent's house while said parent was out of town.
Despite Fanny's balking at participating in said wild party, we cannot quite dismiss her as a buzz-killing Miss Perfect. After all, she is eaten up with jealousy for a great deal of the book, and as we all know, jealousy is not a pretty emotion. She is also not one to obey those in authority at all costs. In fact, she stands up to the biggest authority figure in her life by refusing to do what she knows in her heart would be wrong, and I'm not talking about acting in a play. (Laurie Viera Rigler, the author of Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict)

"Let it go" Oil on canvas  110cm x105cm “It can be regarded as a kind of symphony, or in another way as a kind of opera— or even a horse opera. It is hot music, a poem, a song, a tragedy, a comedy, a farce, and so forth. Itis superficial, profound, entertaining and boring according to taste. It is a prophecy, a political warning, a cryptogram, a preposterous movie, and a writing on the wall. It can even be regarded as a sort of machine: it works too, believe me, as I have found out. In case you think I mean it to be everything but a novel I better say that after all it is intended to be and, though I say so myself, a deeply serious one too. But it is also I claim a work of art somewhat different from the one you suspected it was, and more successful too, even though according to its own lights.” Malcom Lowry, on his novel" Under the Volcano" A book (two to be precise, but we decided to use one as the main strength of our look), a canvas.

Anne Catherick writes the message 150cm x150 cm  Drawing nearly painting on canvas Photo credits : Hugo Almeida The novel begins with    Walter    an art teacher who finds a job as drawing teacher to two sisters. Before heading out to the sisters' house, he meets a mysterious woman dressed entirely in white here, in the middle of the broad, bright high-road […] stood the figure of a solitary Woman, dressed from head to foot in white garments […] I was far too seriously startled by the suddenness with which this extraordinary apparition stood before me, in the dead of night and in that lonely place, to ask what she wanted . Anne herself is almost constantly slipping around in terms of identity, revealing her own fractured personality. She goes from calm to agitated—all at the drop of a hat. But the narrative never judges Anne or views her psychological problems in a negative light. And she herself is a surprisingly crucial part of the narrative; he
