I'm a sucker for these quizzes and I know how many Jane Austen fans there are here.

I pretty much knew who I would be and I was right - Elinor Dashwood.
Love to hear who you come out as!
Best wishes,
Jayne |

| WOW! I am right with you, gal pal! Elinor Dashwood it is (and I couldn't be happier to identify with a woman of that quality)! Thanks for providing the link, Jayne! Hugs, Nance |

I am also Elizabeth Bennett!
That was fun...I especially liked the question about your ideal mate...

My favorite is Persuasion--of course, I love the book, but I really love the BBC Production with Keiran Hinds as "The Colonel"...he's really dramatic, and it's sweep-you-off-your-feet lovely with swooning and everything!
I also really love Sense and Sensibility.

| I just read Persuasion this summer and I liked it. I'd find it hard to choose between Persuasion, Emma, and Pride & Prejudice. I think I like Emma the most, but there are so many film versions of Pride and Prejudice that it's reinforced more strongly in my mind. I just saw the famous miniseries this summer also! Liked it better than the new movie. |

I got Elizabeth Bennett. Anyone ever read Northanger Abbey?

Funny that there are so many Elinors - I guess all farmgirls are practical and sensible!
I think my favourite is Mansfield Park, which is the most unpopular of her novels. I am not sure why it is my favourite, as Fanny can actually be very annoying at times. Next would be Sense and Sensibility - I do love Elinor!
Has anyone seen Becoming Jane? It is out on DVD here soon.
Best wishes,
Jayne |

I'm heading over to take the quiz now, thanks for the fun link!
Did anyone see the film Becoming Jane (http://becomingjane-themovie.com/)? I went with some girlfriends a few weeks ago and we all fell in love with it! Of course it's a fictionalized account of her "true love," but such a beautiful film - go see it if you can!  |

Some of the questions are hard to figure out. Like who is my best friend????? There wasn't an appropriate answer for that. My husband is my best friend.
Denise, I have read Northanger Abby. I like that one. My favorite though, is Persuasion. Anne Elliot is my all time favorite character. I love the book, don't like the movie.
I love Pride & Prejudice. I respect Mansfield Park, and I know it's her best work.
I love the BBC series of Pride & Prejudice (Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle). I kind of liked the movie with Keira Knightly because the visual scenery and the realism of the time period was great, but I didn't care for the way they did the story, I was a bit disappointed. I love Sense & Sensibility w/ Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet. It was perfect.
