Favorite Jane Austen Characters

[CatonHotTinRoof]

Who were your favorite Jane Austen characters? They don't have to be main characters at all.

some of mine are

Mr. and Mrs. Bennet - no doubt about it they are in fact my favorite characters
Mr. Collins
Mr. Darcy of course

Marianne

Jane Fairfax

and always our heriones.

Elizabeth Bennet
Mr. Darcy
Marianne
Fanny Price
Henry Tilney

In that order. I cannot see how on earth you can like Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, entertaining as they may be!!! I can't stand them....Mr. Bennet is alright, but Mrs. Bennet-ugh.

Mr. Bennet

My Favourite characters are of course Elizabeth Bennet and Mr.Darcy ,Jane Bennet and Fanny Price and I like Mr.s Bennet I think she is funny lady .

"Mrs. Jennings, Lady Middleton's mother, was a good-humoured, merry, fat, elderly woman, who talked a great deal, seemed very happy, and rather vulgar. She was full of jokes and laughter, and before dinner was over, had said many witty things on the subject of lovers and husbands; hoped they had not left their hearts behind them in Sussex, and pretended to see them blush whether they did or not."

Isn't that just fun?

I think she did more for Jane Austen than any of the other characters in Sense and Sensibility. She brought some (usually unwanted - by the characters) vitality and life to an otherwise dry narrative.

Honestly, I love every character Jane Austen has ever created. I don't love them for reasons of liking them or disliking them if they were placed before me but simply because they are so well produced. Jane Austens main talent is to create a character and bring them to life so fully that you feel you know them like you know your best friend. Every sentence written is full of meaning. I have never found a greater expert on charactization than Jane Austen-truly! If ever you need to learn how to perfect that art refer to any of Jane Austens greater novels and you will find it in the simplest format. If you want my favourite character that I would like in real life I think the best would be Mr. Bennet. I think I would find him highly amusing because of his dry wit and independance. The man lives his life on his rules and his opinions. Otherwise the simple fact that he has gotten very tired of his wife speaks to me. I would get tired of anyone like her in the blink of an eye. Such a simple mind nothing deep just an empty little shell of a person. Of course those types of people are everywhere so we all have to get along right? That being said this is why Jane Austen is such an amazing author-you gain opinions on these characters, and become involved because they are so well written.

Elizabeth Bennet, I know it's cliche but I have rarely related to a character as much as I did to Elizabeth Bennet.

I just mean they're entertaining.

Ah, that makes me feel better

Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy are definitely both my favorite characters, but I also like Marianne Dashwood, Edward Ferrars, Capt. Wentworth and even Anne Elliot and Willoughby. I liked Colonel Brandon in the movie version merely because Alan Rickman is amazing, but I thought the character in the book was really dry and boring.

Mr. Darcy, by far, for the same reason I like Rhett Butler. He knows human nature like nobody's business.
