Jane Austen Takes
Thanks for the tag @thelonelybrilliance
Five Favorite Heroines:
1. Lizzie
2. Anne
3. Emma
4. Fanny (I surprised myself myself by ranking Fanny over Elinor, whom I love very much, but I have a very special affection for Fanny and almost tied her with Emma, who is like, so different from her)
5. Elinor
(honestly I feel like I am a strange combination of Lizzie, Anne, and Fanny)
Five Favorite Heroes:
1. Darcy
2. Captain Wentworth
3. Knightley (he and Wentworth might switch it up depending on the day)
4. Colonel Brandon
5. Tilney (Tilney you are a good young man and just because I didn’t list your girl earlier does not mean I don’t like her)
Five Favorite Villains:
1. Caroline Bingley (she thinks she is so clever but she is actually really dumb and self-sabotages all the time it’s great)
2. Lady Catherine (look sorry you are now connected to her Lizzie but also I love that she is going to have to deal with being connected to YOU for the rest of her life)
3. Fanny Dashwood, the sole reason for her presence on this list being that one scene in S&S 1995 when she realizes she has been sheltering a viper (Lucy Steele) in her home and proceeds to go wild with rage
4. Mrs. Elton because she is the rich, unsympathetic version of Miss Bates and even more so is an interesting foil to Emma
5. I will leave Wickham here because while he is Despicable he does make a great villain
Five Favorite Sidekicks:
1. Bingley
2. Colonel Fitzwilliam
3. Jane
4. The Gardiners (a unit)
5. John Knightley
I scarcely changed Emma’s good list
Five Favorite Scenes:
1. Pemberly Reunion (P&P)
2. Wentworth’s Letter (Persuasion)
3. Emma and Knightley’s conversation…if I loved you less, etc.(Emma)
4. when Elinor GOES OFF at Marianne about her different emotions (S&S) (I know it’s the movie but damn)
5. Hunsford Proposal
^copy and pastes from Emma’s answers
Bonus round:
1. Wentworth quietly removing the child off Anne’s back (Persuasion)
2. Emma holding little Emma dancing about and desperately wishing to be friends with Knightley again and the conversation right after this (Emma)
3. Elinor whole family shutting themselves in their separate rooms, wailing loudly, and Elinor just sits down on the steps to drink her cup of tea (S&S movie)
4. Lizzie and Jane hanging up herbs in their kitchen when Lizzie teases Jane about the return of Bingley and they both begin to laugh (P&P movie)
5. FANNY REFUSING TO MARRY HENRY CRAWFORD DESPITE LITERALLY EVERYONE TELLING HER SHE SHOULD, SHE MUST, SHE IS BOUND TO OR SHE WILL BE CONSIDERED AN UNGRATEFUL WRETCH (Mansfield Park)
Five Favorite Adaptations:
1. Pride & Prejudice (1995)
2. Sense & Sensibility (1995)
3. Persuasion (1995) (1995 was a very good year apparently, also my top three are liable to change from day to day)
4. Pride & Prejudice (1980) (this was a GOOD)
5. If I could combine elements from all the various Emma films (excluding 2020 I haven’t seen it and am afraid to) then the resulting movie would go here. Since I cannot, I am going to steal my friend Emma’s honorable mention and say Clueless :D
wAIT ASDFJKGLDJSKLJ I ALMOST FORGOT OMG OMG OMG THE LIZZIE BENNET DIARIES ARE A TOP FAVE OMG I MEAN THEY AREN’T A MOVIE BUT
Five Favorite Underrated Things:
1. Mansfield Park
2. Fanny Price
3. JJ Field as Tilney (Yes I do like his portrayal even despite the differences between book and film)
4. Lydia Bennet in the Lizze Bennet Diaries and her relationship with Lizzie
5. 1980 P&P Mr. Darcy’s facial structure especially when he clenches his jaw
If you would like/haven’t already done it, I tag @tabbyofwisdom and @madamescarlette
