Anyway fav book : Mansfield Park
Fav heroine: Anne (persuasion)
fav hero: Edmund (mansfield park)
Fav villian Lady Susanna (lady Susanna)
Novel: Pride and Prejudice.
Heroine: Elizabeth Bennet and/or Emma. (P&P)
Hero: Mr Darcy. (P&P)
Villain: George Wickham
Visited the Jane Austen Museum today; you can see the notes and pictures here.
Pride and Prejudice
Fanny (Mansfield Park)
Edward Ferrars (Sense and Sensibility)
Lady Catherine De Burgh (P+P) - perhaps not traditionally a villain, but descends to that in her attempt to break up lizzy and darcy. I love her character, she's so ridiculously pompous, impertinent and rude, thinking it is her right to say what she likes, ask what she likes and do what she likes because of her rank. Her views on music always make me laugh.
Pride and Prejudice
Elizabeth Bennet
Mr Darcy
Lady Catherine De Burgh
:wave: wow I didn't read this thread til now. Mine are
Elizabeth Bennet (Pride and Prejudice)
Elinor Dashwood (Sense and Sensibility)
;) Gonna read more :p
Favourite book - Pride and Prejudice (though Northanger Abbey was a good read too)
Favourite heroine - definitely Elizabeth Bennet...as Jane Austen herself said, "the most delightful creature ever to appear in print"
Favourite hero - Mr Darcy without a doubt (and when I say that I'm thinking Colin Firth's Mr Darcy....I always imagined he'd look that way, even before seeing the BBC miniseries)
Favourite villain - Willoughby from Sense and Sensibility. Wickham comes close, but I met Willoughby first...when I read Pride and Prejudice for the first time I "knew Wickham would turn out to be a Willoughby" ;)
P.S. Perhaps we could also have a favourite...er...um...how would I put it....er...a favourite Mr Collins award? :D
You mean like a Favorite Silly Austen Character award? (Or something of the sort. :-))
Hi all! I'm new, but I thought I would join in the fun.
Favorite book: Persuasion, Pride and Prejudice
Favorite heroine/female protagonist: Elizabeth Bennet
Favorite hero/male protagonist: (er, is it okay to have five???) Capt. Wentworth (Persuasion), Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, Mr. Knightley, Edmund (in Mansfield Park...oh, what's his last name?), Edward Ferrars.
Favorite villain/antagonist: Lady Catherine de Bourgh.
I would give that award to Mr. John Thorpe of Northanger Abbey :lol:Quote:
