Abstract

This thesis focuses on Bertrams family and Fanny Price, the central characters in Mansfield Park by Jane Austen. There are two questions to answer.First, how are Bertram family's life? Second, what are the influences of Bertram family's life on Fanny's life? To achieve the objectives, this thesis employs library research for collecting data. There are two kinds of data. The primary data are taken from the theory of life by Longman, the theory of family by Rollins,the theory of conflict by Wellek and Warren, the theory of characterization by Griffith. The analysis of Bertram family's life is divided into two. The first one is Bertram family's social class, and the second is Bertram family's attitude. From the analysis of their life, I discovered that Bertram's family is an upper class family. Because the head of the family is a landowner of Mansfield Park. The member of Bertram family also has different attitude. Sir Thomas and aunt Norris are an authoritarian. They only sees what they want to see. While lady Bertram is an indifferent. She does not care anything except her pug. Only one who has good heart, that is Edmund Bertram. He is friendly and attentive. Fanny Price, a girl who is adopted by Bertram's family, are disturbed by their attitude. In Fanny's childhood, she becomes a fearful child, because she comes from a lower social class. The only one her friend,that is Edmund. In her adolesence, her rights always handled by aunt Norris and sir Thomas, because she is regarded as a lowest degree at Mansfield. Moreover, lady Bertram also treats her as a servant. In her adulthood, she refuses a rich man's suit because she secretly in love with Edmund. Because of her refusal, sir Thomas is angry and sends her away to her poor parents.
