Jane Austen Heroine

What a fun, girly website! http://www.strangegirl.com/austenquiz takes the Jane Austen fans through a series of questions to determine which heroine you are. I'll be honest, I've taken the quiz 3 times, and twice I was a different character. But Elinor Dashwood of Sense & Sensibility was the character I was twice, so I'm posting her. The first was Jane Bennett of Pride & Prejudice and that made me happy! She's my favorite heroine, but I know it's a stretch for me to think of myself as being as compassionate and lovely as she is. So, I'll deal with being Elinor and try to improve on being more like Jane.


"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."

Do you agree?
