Mansfield Park's James Rushworth is a fictional figure. Maria Bertram, the eldest child of Sir Thomas and Lady Bertram, is married to him, but he later divorces her because of her adultery. Rushworth's fortune caused Maria to only wed him out of economic necessity, even though her true love was Henry.

Sir Thomas reflects on his mistakes in parenting his children. Maria and Henry are still living together, and she wishes they will wed. They eventually start arguing and break up. She and Rushworth are already ex-spouses.

Mansfield Park is thus a location of paradox and disquiet; on the one hand it is a beautiful and stunning display of riches and comfort; while on the other hand, it is a shallow status symbol erected from the earnings of human enslavement by a man whose goals exceed his means.
