"Would you rather..." — Jane Austen Editions

Here’s another game by Cordy. As a society, we should play more Jane Austen or otherwise literature related games. I am sure this one is going to be fun!

Consider yourself tagged, if you like ♥ 


Who would you rather have act as your matchmaker, Lady Russell (from Persuasion) or Mrs. Jennings?

I should say, Mrs Jennings. The whole business might be a bit exasperating, but surely well-meant, and possibly with good results.

Who would you like as a pen pal from Jane Austen’s works?

Oh, I think it would be fun to share exciting stories with Cathy Morland!

Who would you rather go on a walk with, Colonel Fitzwilliam or Captain Benwick?

With Colonel Fitzwilliam, I think. He’s one of my favourite secondary characters.

Who would you rather have to befriend, Mrs. Elton or Lucy Steele?

Mrs Elton. She’d be terribly annoying, but I could just ignore that. Lucy is so false, that’s much worse.

Who would you rather have as a sibling, John Knightley or Mary (from Persuasion, not Mary Bennet)?

John Knightley.

Who would you rather dance with? (Very open book!)

Out of all characters? Mr Knightley or Colonel Brandon! Or Mr Tilney!

Who would you rather refuse, Mr. Collins or Mr. Elton?

Mr Elton. The difference is – refusing Mr Collins would be tedious, refusing Mr Elton would be rather satisfying.

Who would you rather match-make for, Miss Bates or Mary Bennet?

Mary. I would love to match-make for Miss Bates if I knew for sure it would be a success, but I’d hate to disappoint her.

Who would you rather have as a best friend?

Out – of anyone? I don’t know. Perhaps Jane Bennet. Or the Westons.

Who would you rather argue with? (Mrs. Bennet, Lady Catherine, Emma Woodhouse, Mr. Woodhouse, Mr. Palmer, Mrs. Jennings, Fanny Dashwood, Captain Wentworth, Mr. Darcy, ect.) 

Hmh. Mary Bennet.

Would you rather wander the grounds of Pemberley and risk being ‘discovered’ or wander over the downs surrounding Barton Cottage in the rain and twist an ankle?

The former. Although I would like wandering over the downs surrounding Barton Cottage in the rain, while being cheerful and without any accidents.

Where would you live in Austen’s works?

Barton Cottage! Or Longbourn. Or, no, maybe Fullerton Vicarage!
