Elizabeth Bennet...

[fajrdrako]

I got this from tudorpot. The result I really wanted was Anne Elliot, who was not one of the choices. Too bad!

I suspect this result is not surprising to anyone.

You scored as Elizabeth Bennet. As one of Austen's most beloved characters, Elizabeth Bennet represents what most women would like to become: strong, independent, and loyal. Of course, she has her faults including a stubborn will of iron and a clinging to first impressions. Overall, Lizzie is bright and lovable...something to admire and aspire to. </td> Elizabeth Bennet 75% Elinor Dashwood 69% Charlotte Lucas 53% Emma Woodhouse 44% Marianne Dashwood 44% Jane Bennet 41% Lady Catherine 28% Which Jane Austen Character are You?

I wouldn't wish to be a "loved" Austen character, most of whom I could cheerfully shoot.

Hah! Me too. Though Elizabeth and Darcy are tolerable, I think - but often irritating in their mutual judgementalism. Lady Catherine had spirit! She reminds me of a Dickens character, and since I like Dickens better than Austen, that's a good thing.

I like most novelists better than Austen... Even Graham Shelby has black-humour value in comparison!

Hee! That's a damning comparison!

Well, as you said, he's almost Robert Howard-y at times!

(Oh - and please check latest post at oltramar - I found another bit of abuse of our dear boy online...)

As if there wasn't enough already...

It's very, very strange - such an extreme disjuncture between the popular image and the real, dashing and appealing person.

When usually, if anything, it's the other way round - people are often glamourized by posterity.

His misfortune was to be on the opposite side to the "official poster-boy" of the expedition... Even now, Richard has to hog the limelight.

That's part of the problem. He should have had more of his own propagandists at work - but having been killed first was definitely a handicap.
