Marianne Dashwood for a Day?
"What care I for colds when there is such a man?"-- Marianne Dashwood, Sense & Sensibility
Because I am stalling and NOT doing the things I am supposed to do right now (seems to be a recurrent theme), I just took an important quiz to find out which Jane Austen heroine I am. I would have pegged me more for an Eleanor Dashwood, but funnily enough, today I am Marianne.
I know for sure that I have some Marianne in me, but my more logical side is trying to convince me that I am an Elizabeth Bennet or Eleanor. Maybe I have to take the test over again.
Or maybe I am ready to run off with Willoughby when he finally comes to his senses!
The quiz is courtesy of a new favorite blog I'm enchanted with. I'm curious to know how you turn out. Boys need not apply.

which is so funny to me because i've had a photo of gwenyth's hair do in that film saved for several months in order to ask your friend jane to help me learn how to make it with my blonde locks.
I am Eleanor Dashwood.
Ha! I would have thought I was more Liz Bennett..... but apparently not.
;-)
i am elizabeth bennett. i was hoping as such. love the quiz! i may put it in my blog as well. what an absolutely wonderful way to waste time and still feel sophisticated and literary. jane austen has been in the brain as of late due to the whole series they are currently running on pbs. i am loving it.
I am Elizabeth Bennett through and through.
"Boys need not apply."
Screw that!

Which Jane Autin hero are you?
:-)
Hello all my Jane Austen lovelies,
I am glad you are all having as much fun with the quiz as I did. I realize now that I really am Marianne but have been trying to be Eleanor all along. That explains a lot about me.
Now, Pouty "b":
Debbi/Eleanor Dashwood has gone to all of this trouble to find you a boy's version of the quiz, and we are waiting to see what you turn out to be. Do tell us. Is there a Mr. Darcy in our midst?
We are Austin doubles, tb! I too am Marianne Dashwood. I think my brutal honesty sealed my fate.
Dearest dutchbaby,
Brutal honesty indeed! ;-)
That is because you are too smart for your own good.
xo
And I'm... Edward Ferrars?
Damn, I was hoping for Rocky Balboa, that was Austen, right?
Ooh, FogBay, that is yummy.
Girls are swooning at that admission. Much much better than Rocky Balboa. Trust me.
Oh, I also thought I'd be Elizabeth Bennett, but no, I also turned out to be Marianne Dashwood!!!!
La Tanguera!
I would be surprised if you were anything other than Marianne. I've read your blog, you passionate lady.
Now I have a twin who will run through fields of flowers with me. I was feeling alone with all of the Eleanors and Elizabeths (but they are lovely, too!).
Here's to fluttering hearts and to swooning once in a while.
