Jane-Austen-Questionnaire

1 - What was the first JA novel you ever read, and who introduced you to it? My first JA novel was Pride&Prejudice, but I'm not sure anymore. I could also be Sense& Sensibility My sister introduced me to the novels and for that I'm eternally grateful! 2 - Which is your least favorite JA novel, and why? Hmmm...It's possibly Northanger Abbey, although it is hilarious. I like it very much but not as much as the other ones, I suppose, so yeah, that's my least favourite one. 3 - Who do you think is the funniest character JA ever created? Mrs Jennings and Mrs Elton. 4 - Which JA villain[ess] do you love to hate? Lucy Steele. Elinor probably is my favourite heroine and I REALLY hate Lucy for being such a b****. 5 - What's your favorite JA quote? 'Whom are you going to dance with?', asked Mr Knightley. She hesitated a moment, and then replied, 'With you, if you will ask me.' 6 - If you were to "start" someone on JA, which book would you recommend to them first and why? Probably Persuasion or Sense&Sensibility. I wouldn't recommend Northanger Abbey because it's not her usual style and probably not Mansfield Park either. 7 - What is your absolute favorite JA film adaptation and why? The Persuasion adaption of 1995! It's soooo beautiful!!! Watch it! 8 - If you could authorize a new film adaptation of one of JA's novels, which would it be and why? Hmmm, maybe Mansfield Park? 9 - Which JA character do you most identify with? Hmmmm...Anne Eliot, I think. My username could be a hint ;) 10 - If you could have lunch with JA today, what question would you most like to ask her? I'd like to ask her if she ever fell in love herself and how she experienced it. 11 - Is there any one thing that you think could have been improved upon in one (or all) of JA's books? What is it and why? I wouldn't marry Marianne off to Colonel Brandon, because I love his character so much and she doesn't seem too keen but obeys the wishes of her family. I would like him to marry someone who deserves him and I would like her to find a second Willoughby, but a better version of him. 12 - If you could have lunch with one of JA's characters today, who would it be and why? Elizabeth and Anne. They are both wonderful in their own way. Elizabeth would be a laugh and a great, smart friend at the same time and Anne would probably be the most gentle person you could have a conversation with. She would make you feel special just by talking to you.
