Why did Edmund marry Fanny? Why? Austen made it clear why he had rejected Mary Crawford (even if I don't agree with those reasons). But she practically glossed over Edmund's decision to marry Fanny. Austen never revealed the details, leading to that decision.

As for Mary Crawford's lack of moral center, I can say the same about Fanny Price. Fanny makes a pretense of being morally upright and firm. But her moral center, like Edmund's, is always being undermined by her hypocrisy. Neither seemed to mind judging characters like the Crawfords for their flaws. But both seemed incapable of acknowledging their own flaws, or each other's.
