I would be happy to be Catherine Morland.
I'm sad there doesn't appear to be a Marianne. Although, personally I wouldn't be able to stand her in real life Confused

I got Catherine Morland ... was convinced I would be Emma Woodhouse ... however, on reflection, perhaps Catherine is more "me" ... Grin

I got Elinir Dasheood as well but am fine with that.

It does make me wonder whether I'd (we'd) have been a different Austen heroine at a different age. My twenties self wouldn't have answered the same at all.

Boooring, I got Elinor Dashwood!

Cooroo · 23/02/2014 09:53

Elinor, which I think is fair. I'm so old I didn't understand some of the questions. Like all those singers -I honestly don't know which is which!

SanityClause · 21/02/2014 14:12

Anne Elliot.

Persuasion is my favourite (Austen) book.

I'm pleased I didn't get boring old Fanny!

MrsBartlet · 21/02/2014 13:56

Haha - dd just got Fanny Price, too!

MrsBartlet · 21/02/2014 13:54

Oh dear goodness, I got Fanny Price! Off to get dd to do it now - she is definitely more of a Lizzie Bennet.

Anne Elliott

Fanny Price. I haven't read anymuch Austen so I don't know what she's like or why others on this thread are annoyed at getting her. 'fiercely loyal and kind to everyone' sounds OK to me, as does 'you love reading and learning.'

TheNunsOfGavarone · 16/02/2014 14:52

Elinor Dashwood, which I'm quite happy about. Actually I'm not particularly grown up and have a very overactive imagination so am quite surprised I didn't get Catherine Morland!

I couldn't find a list of the options - was Marianne actually included?

Is there a Which Bennet Girl Are You? quiz?

charitygirl · 16/02/2014 09:50

Catherine Morland - I've clearly still got a lot of growing up to do...

AnneWentworth · 16/02/2014 09:46

RPJ is the one I married.

I'm so surprised there aren't more Lizzie Bennetts on MN

Another Anne Elliott.

Ilovemydogandmydoglovesme · 15/02/2014 23:48

Yep, Anne Elliot here too. Funny that. Mind you I'll have Rupert Penry-Jones's Wentworth. Like a shot.

KhloeKardashian · 15/02/2014 23:47

Elinor Dashwood

FannyPriceless · 15/02/2014 23:45

I must be the only person on MN who wanted to get Fanny Price!

I got Anne Elliot...

KatherinaMinola · 15/02/2014 23:38

Emma Woodhouse. Funny, because I've always disliked her...

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 15/02/2014 23:37

Anne elliot

nkf · 15/02/2014 23:37

I suppose I end up with a big house.

nkf · 15/02/2014 23:37

Fanny Price. Oh dear. Not sure what I feel about that.

Procrastinating · 15/02/2014 23:35

Fanny Price. What shit, I am clearly Lydia Bennett.
