The film looks abysmal even from a distance, but I can't resist a quiz!
The results were satisfying, I suppose:
Mr. George Knightley
"You might not see one in a hundred with gentleman so plainly written as in Mr. Knightley."
You're looking for the complete package: a man with brains, good looks, a great job, perfect manners and a sizeable fortune to boot. Well, today's your lucky day.
As Highbury's wealthiest landowner and all-around great guy, Mr. Knightley is what your mother meant by "a good catch." He's a "sensible man" with a "cheerful manner" who loves his family and friends and has no patience for vanity or drama. Direct, down-to-earth and happily duty-bound, he proves time and again that chivalry is alive and well. He's a reluctant dancer but an astute judge of character and a trustworthy confidant. Overt displays of emotion or affection aren't exactly his thing, but you couldn't ask for a more caring or thoughtful friend.
No one's perfect, so you'll have to work through disagreements now and then (usually over something you've said or done). But, if you can get over his being right most of the time, you two should enjoy a fine life together indeed.
Still, a lot of the questions struck me as random.

I am not sure I'd count this as a quiz, as I think of a quiz as a testing of knowledge, but still it was interesting for a 2 minutes of my time. I agree, many of the questions were fairly random (I didn't know Mr. Martin was in to Scrabble...)
ReplyDeleteSo, I got Mr. Knightley with a 49% win, Mr. Martin following with a 27%.
Also upon searching around the 'Emma' site, I think it interesting that two of the men (Mr. Knightley and Mr. Elton) played Edmond Bertram from Mansfield Park in film adaptations of that book.
ReplyDeleteAnd there's a editing mistake on the character bio for Augusta Elton... first sentence.
I was Mr. Knightly, too. And, Mr. Martin.
ReplyDeleteSo apparently Janice... in the Jane Austen world, you & I shall have to fight over a man. Hmmm.
