AustentatiousAnswers

Emma | Jane Austin

1) Emma, because I loved the movie Clueless.
2) I was 11 and my mom gave me a volume of Austen for Christmas.
3) Colin Firth, as both his Darcy gents.
4) Definitely Lizzie when younger. Possibly Elinor now?
5) Knightley.
6) Wickham. The timeless cad.
7. Oh. The 2005 P&P film soothes me - I fell asleep to it every night through some hard years. Also, the 2009 BBC Emma is utterly charming. #janeites #austentatiousanswers #janeausten

Eyelit I‘m not a witty creative type so I‘m terrible at hashtags. Anatomy of a Janeite? Austentatious Answers? Surveying Austen? Idk 😂 5y

sprainedbrain @Eyelit those all seem witty and creative to me! I love #AustentatiousAnswers and I‘m going to use it! (edited) 5y

Susannah I was thinking MacFadyen too, but I was a little sheepish about it because Firth is so beloved. The hitch in his voice when Darcy tells Lizzie that he loves her near the end of the 2005 version gets me every time. 🥰 5y

sprainedbrain @Susannah YES. That whole scene at the gazebo is just amazing, too. 😍 Love that cast. (edited) 5y

La_Cori Love your answers (and MacFadyen!) 🖤😍 5y

sprainedbrain @La_Cori you have excellent taste in Darcys. 😍😂 5y
