While Charles Bingley and Edward Ferrars are unfortunately rather weak heroes, Edmund Bertram is more like Frank Churchill in the sense that his biggest flaw is his selfishness. But his love for Fanny-or lack thereof-is entirely unimpressive. He wants to be a clergyman despite everyone telling him he could go into something else and make more money, so it's cool that he sticks to what he believes is right or whatever (though clergy are still gentry so he's still in the upper class, even with that profession). All we know is that as Fanny comforts him and helps him get over Mary Crawford, he realizes his feelings for her. Literally the worst romance of all time for the worst novel.Įdmund spends the entirety of the novel pining for someone else, and then is suddenly in love with Fanny-and we only get an epilogue-esque explanation of this instead of being able to witness any hint at his feelings like the other heroes.
