Which Austen Heroine are you?
As a lover of Jane Austin, I was curious as to which Jane Austen character I was most like. I was hoping to be Fanny Price or Elenore Dashwood. I am most like Marianne Dashwood and Emma Woodhouse. I am surprised to say the least. I guess I thought I was better than I am, I didn't realize that I'm not the wonderful characters that I thought I would be. Oh well. At least Marianne gets the right man in the end, and at least Emma grows up.
Check it out, who are you?

I am Anne Elliot from Persuasion (is that good?). I haven't read it. Maybe I should...
Minna, read the book, the movie Persuasion is good (nothing like the book because it is modern day) and doesn't really give you a sense of who she is. Or better yet, save some time and google it.
Fun. Turns out I'm Elinor Dashwood.
Well I am not Emma Woodhouse. I think the quiz is flawed.
Have you read "Austenland" by Shannon Hale. It's hilarious and really a must-read (in my opinion). Anyhoo-check it out! Also, I'm most like Elizabeth Bennet! Rock on! I realized I didn't know who many of the others were, even though I was watching the PBS Jane Austen specials while Jon was busy! Oh well, I'm a fan of Elizabeth!
I still love Emma and Marianne. Only Marianne can make having a doctor bleed you seem totally romantic and normal. I was hoping I would be Elizabeth Bennett... but no, I am Elinor, which I was afraid of. She holds her feelings too much, and just ask my husband. I really don't ever hide my feelings. But can we really lose at all with a Jane Austen heroine? I think it's all good unless you find out you're Lydia or Mary.
