Fanny Is The "normal" Daughter. She's Interested In What Young Women Are Meant To Be Interested In. She

Fanny is the "normal" daughter. She's interested in what young women are meant to be interested in. She contributes to the study of gender roles and family roles/values across both families. But yeah... not a critical person in terms of plot.

The inclusion of Fanny is very interesting to me. As far as I remember, she's not that important to any of the big plot points of the book. It could have just been John and his mother with hardly any changes. But she adds so much depth to Mrs. Thornton's character, with how she interacts with and feels about her daughter. And we hear Margaret's first kind words about the North in response to Fanny's complaints about it. Margaret sees, rightly, that all the dirt and industry of the North is what gave Fanny all the fine things she loves, and sees her lack of appreciation as wrong.

A vintage-style drawing of two mice wearing old fashioned clothes, one in a yellow gingham dress and bonnet and the other in a vest and trousers. The girl sits in a hollowed out apple while the boy peers at her from the side. The pair and the apple are framed by leaves, grass and flowers.

THIS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN

In an alternate universe, societies that use oral tradition are coming out with studies proving that "documents", a primitive writing system used by various tribes in Europe to keep track of history, are actually very accurate despite common wisdom being that physical documents are so easy to destroy or forge that they couldn't possibly be relied on to contain any truth
