Who is Fanny Price?

Fanny Price is the second child of a struggling family. Her father is in the military, and her mother has so many children that she feels overwhelmed and unable to meet all the children's needs. Therefore, Fanny's mother writes a letter to her two sisters asking for assistance after the birth of her ninth child. They decide that relieving their sister of one of her children would be of the most help. Fanny, then ten years old, goes to live with her aunt, uncle, and cousins at Mansfield Park.
