I recently spent weeks watching every Jane Austen story that Masterpiece Theatre aired on PBS. "Pride and Prejudice," "Emma," "Northanger Abbey," "Mansfield Park," and "Sense and Sensibility." I even watched the old '40s adaption of "Pride and Prejudice" on a different channel, and then watched the PBS version a second time when it re-aired.
"Pride and Prejudice" and "Sense and Sensibility" are my favorites. I think. I really like "Emma", too, but I liked the Gwyneth Paltrow version better than the PBS version.
I've never actually read Austen's books, which is why I wanted to watch the movies so badly. I love the stories. And I'm going to read her books... one of these days.
In the meantime, I could not pass up this quiz.
You are Elinor Dashwood of Sense & Sensibility. You are practical, circumspect, and discreet. Though you are tremendously sensible and allow your head to rule, you have a deep, emotional side that few people often see.
I'm not too sure that Bruce would agree with the part about being tremendously sensible and allowing my head to rule. Most of the time, I rely on his good sense to help me think things through. It's okay. I'm secure enough to admit that.
Try the quiz if you are a fan of Austen's. And if you aren't a fan... why not?
