Edmund: Too Good to be True?

Granted, I am only 10% of my way through book. And though I remember this being my favorite Austen book, I don't remember much of it. But it seems to me, Edmund just might be too ideal.

He cares for Fanny in her moments of despair. He buys her a horse.

Fanny describes him as, "an example of everything good AND great..." (emphasis mine.)

He seems to have a generally well established view of love and money. "he (Edmund) was not pleased that her (Maria's) happiness should centre in a large income..."


And I could go on and on...anything to add?


All in favor, say "I."
