Mansfield Park with a Twist
Manage episode 336609220 series 2840696
Final Mansfield Park adaptations!
What would happens if Fanny Price decided to take her life into her own hands? How would her life change? Would Edmund get his just deserts? What if Lady Bertram was really into ancient Egyptian artifacts? What if she accidentally woke up an ancient mummy, who happened to fall in love with Fanny Price? Is it Mansfield Park meets The Mummy*?
This week Elle and Catrina read two Mansfield Park adaptations that add a bit of a twist. Elle reads A Contrary Wind, where Fanny gets tired of her place at Mansfield Park and becomes a governess. But Fanny's absence throws off the lives of everyone, especially Mary, Edmund, and Henry. Catrina gets "weird book of the week" for reading Mansfield Park and Mummies. This wild adventure adaptation is Austen's novel with the added obstacle of mummies and a love stricken pharaoh.
*The Mummy (1999) starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz of course.
