I have a complicated parasocial relationship with Fanny Price. I used to relate to her very much as a lonely undergrad in the life sciences who was into 19th century literature. Nowadays my feelings are more conflicted. Her manner of thinking can come across as rather insular and priggish at times. Which hits differently in an era of nationalist populism.
