Downton Abbey's Edith Crawley in front of the eponymous Edith Crawley
From the moment Downton Abbey premiered, Lady Edith Crawley was an unlikely contender for the title of “best Crawley sister.” She rested in the shadow of her elder sister Mary—witty, poised, and good with all kinds of people—and her younger sister Sybil, adored for her kindness and progressive spirit. By comparison, Edith initially felt overshadowed.
Edith Was An Infuriating Character At The Beginning Of Downton Abbey Edith’s Actions And Attitude Initially Made Her The Most Frustrating Crawley Sister Close ✕ Remove Ads In the early seasons, Edith Crawley felt, in many ways, like the problem child of the Crawley family. Unlike her sisters, she lacked a clear sense of self and purpose, leading her to behave in ways that frustrated viewers and her family alike to the point of her being the family laughingstock.
The arrival of her and Gregson's daughter, Marigold, presented Edith with an unexpected challenge and responsibility. Unlike Mary and Sybil, Edith faced motherhood as a single mother in a society that frowned upon her situation. Raising Marigold in secrecy and navigating the emotional trials of being an unrecognized mother added layers of resilience and courage to Edith’s character.
