I have always liked Mr. Knightley. Didn't like Emma much, but Mr Knightly's such a good and sensible, but also loving man. I really like him (and yes, of course, Mr Darcy ;) )

I just want to say hello. This is the first time I post. I'm not familiar with the technique just yet. I read the messages. But I don't have the courage to participate. Elizabeth Bennet is my favourite character.
Mr. Darcy all the way!
Emma is definitely my favorite. ive seent he movie for P&P and read Emma and S&S. I always enjoy charatcers who think they are very smart and who get put down.
Elizabeth and Darcy.
lol everyone loves darcy and elizabeth. this thread is so boring. :)
i havent actually read the book for P&P though so i might agree with you if i do.
1) Mr. Darcy for sure ! :ladysman:
" My good opinion once lost is lost forever. "
" You must allow me to tell you how ardently I love and admire you ! "
Wow, how poetic ! I think the above pronouncements definitely reveal the poetic and noble side of Mr. Darcy.
2) Other characters :
Elizabeth Bennett
Mr. Bennett ( very amusing ! )
Mrs. Bennett ( hysterical, and therefore comical---she and the actress who played her in the BBC version of 1995 provided excellent comic relief !!! ) :lol:
Colonel Brandon as played by Alan Rickman ( here, too, he managed to add a somewhat mysterious/sinister side to the character.
3) Ever wonder about the particulars of Darcy/Elizabeth marriage ?
Forgive me, but can't help wondering about the aspect of the physical involvement in their marriage. :blush:
Perhaps this could be a good thread to fantasize about Darcy and Lizzy's marriage ??? :rolleyes:
Anyone with ideas ? ...
No-one ?? ...
I think it could be such a tantalizing discussion... ;)
after getting through SS, Mansfield and PP after Emma, Emma is still the best chracter.
Definitly is a tantalizing discussion. Why don't you start another thread rather than change this one. ;) I'd post in that one.Quote:

I also adored Lucy from S&S. She was so deliciously evil ;)

Ooh, what a question! I can't decide! I think Anne Elliot is probably my favourite. Of all the main characters I liked Catherine least. Of course, Emma, Lizzy Bennet and Elinor Dashwood are absolutely wonderful, but I have a strange liking for Fanny Price. :) I quite look up to her.
Mr. Knightley, Marianne, Colonel Brandon (and no, not just because Alan Rickman is a god :P ), Mr. Bennet, Darcy, Bingley - all of them delightful characters! Jane Austen was a genius of pinning situations and characters perfectly, so there really isn't a character I disliked. I'm glad I don't know some of them in real life, but as literary creations they're all good. :)
(and no, not just because Alan Rickman is a god .... my sentiments too, I'm going to see if there is a pub here! (Galaxy Quest)
Don't you have to admire the ability to write a character you love to hate such as smarmy Mr Collins.

Pardon me, I only have read half (!) of Sense and Sensibility, but up until now my favourite has to be Mr Palmer :D
