 The Jane Austen (This or That) Tag

-- This or that... Jane Austen style! --

Rules:


1. Thank and link back to the person who tagged you. 

(Thank you Beth!!!)


2. Answer the questions


3. Tag 3 more people


4. Add a Jane Austen this or that question (about any of her books) if you want to. 


Katherine's Answers: Purple

Grace's Answers: Blue


1) Who is a cuter couple? 

Emma and Mr. Knightley or Jane and Mr. Bingley?

I have to go with Emma & Mr. Knightley (from the 2009 version, of course :)! As much as I like Jane & Mr. Bingley, I just love Mr Knightley and Emma's banter and general relationship.


Both couples are cute, but for me, Emma and Mr. Knightly have always been defined by their ready wit and flying sparks, so in the interest of pure cuteness, I'm choosing Jane and Mr, Bingley.

2) You must go to tea with Mrs. Jennings or Mrs. Bennet. Who would you rather go with?

Hmm, that's a hard choice!  Maybe I'll go with Mrs. Jennings? (I hope I'm not making a horrid mistake....will one of you come rescue me if I'm gone at this tea too long?)


Yikes! Neither?? Both have a shocking lack of knowledge of those things that just aren't spoken in public!! Alas, if I must choose, I shall go with Mrs. Bennet, since I am not one of her daughters, therefore not in need of her matchmaking skills and also a possible contender with her own daughters so hopefully she shall ignore me??? Yes? No? Help!!

3) Dance with Edward Ferrars or Charles Bingley?

Edward Ferrars!  He's such a thoughtful, sweet tempered character.


Hmmm, I feel that with Edward there would be interesting conversation, but Mr. Bingley is such a sweet soul, I would feel no pressure to make conversation and just chat about nothing in particular and enjoy the dance, I shall choose Mr. Bingley.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

4) Who would you rather have as a big sister? 

Jane Bennet or Elinor Dashwood?

I'll choose Elinor.....although Jane is so sweet....ach!  How can I choose?  I know who I don't want though...


To be honest, I feel like I already have both a Jane and an Elinor as my sisters, but I have a soft spot for Elinor's practicality so Elinor!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


5) Worst villain? Wickham or Willoughby?


Oh, wow, they are both scoundrels!  I'll go with Willoughby.  He's a wretch.

They are both are quite villainous, but I have always had a soft spot for Willoughby, as he showed remorse for his actions and apologized (at least according to the movie). Katherine strongly disagrees with me! I shall have to say George Wickham...well... gah, fine I shall have to say Willoughby. Are you happy Katherine?


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

6) Take a walk with Mrs. Weston or Mrs. Gardiner? (Mrs. Weston is Emma's old governess and Mrs. Gardiner is Elizabeth's aunt.)

I shall choose Mrs. Gardiner; she seems like a very nice lady and a wonderful aunt!

Mrs. Weston. She seems to be cheery soul and would have many fun stories about Emma and her sister growing up... and the Knightly's as well.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

7) Mr. Darcy or Mr. Knightly?

This is an impossible choice!!!.....I think I have to choose Mr. Darcy as Grace and I just watched the Pride & Prejudice Musical again and Mr. Darcy's character is fresh in my mind!  (By the way, if any of you want to watch that it's on Amazon Prime right now and it's REALLY GOOD!)

Mr. Darcy. Mr. Knightly is a VERY close second, but Mr. Darcy it is! (And do watch the above mentioned play, tis sooooooo good!!!!)


And these last two are our add on questions that we thought up per suggestion in rule #4:




8) Whose wardrobe would you rather own: Emma Woodhouse's (2009 version) or 
Marianne Dashwood's (2008 version)?


9) Would you rather spend an afternoon with Mary Elliot Musgrove (Persuasion) prattling on about her many ailments and disappointments in life or with Mr. Rushworth (Mansfield Park) who will fill the hours describing in great detail his plans for the shrubberies at his estate?
