Re widowhood and mourning: in this period, widowhood was for many women the first time that they had any liberty or any control over their lives. It's not surprising that some of them responded by enjoying their freedom. Sure, it's socially correct to observe the customs of mourning, but imagine how difficult that would be if you weren't mourning, but rather celebrating the end of an intolerable marriage, which would have been true for many women.
Janet Lafler
Too late now, but the name is correctly pronounced "Mannering," although a lot of Americans pronounce it more the way it's spelled.
Janet Lafler
I think for the rankings of love-interests, you need subcategories: self-proclaimed suitors (e.g. John Thorpe, Mr. Collins), characters that seem at first like real suitors but aren't (e.g. Willoughby, Wickham, Frank Churchill), and the ones the heroines end up marrying. I think Crawford is objectively awful (his goal, remember, is to make Fanny fall in love with him so he can break her heart), but can seem less awful because in the other choice is Edmund Bertram.
Janet Lafler
When I reread Northanger Abbey a few years ago I was struck by just how familiar John Thorpe was. We have all met his modern incarnation: the self-centered dude who doesn't hear the word "no" and doesn't understand how a woman could reject such a nice guy as himself.
Janet Lafler
FWIW, "Benwick" is pronounced "Bennick." The English do that kind of thing a lot with names: there's a pronunciation that you just have to know. My favorite is "Featherstonhaugh," which is pronounced (wait for it...) "Fanshaw."
