Jane Austen This or That

I have not been tagged in this game by Cordy, but figured I would like to do it!

1) Who is a cuter couple? Emma and Mr. Knightley or Jane and Mr. Bingley?

Jane and Bingley are certainly the cuter couple, although Emma and Knightley are among my favourite Austen couples,

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

Really, though I understand the reasoning that Mrs Bennet wouldn’t care too much about my doings, I think I’d enjoy Mrs Jennings’ company better.

3) Dance with Edward Ferrars or Charles Bingley?

With Charles Bingley, really.

4) Who would you rather have as a big sister? Jane Bennet or Elinor Dashwood?

I first wanted to say Jane, because I am very fond of her, but we might be too similar, and Elinor might be a better balance for me.

5) Worst villain? Wickham or Willoughby?

I’d say Willoughby is the worse of the two.

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’d like both, really. I don’t think I have much of a preference.

7) Mr. Darcy or Mr. Knightley?

I like Darcy as much as any other woman, but Knightley and Brandon are my favourite Austen heroes, so…

"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!
