frumpyspaceprincess asked: I'm not trying to be contradictory or anything, but I saw that someone submitted a comment about how Elizabeth and Darcy were voted most popular because Pride and Prejudice is the most popular movie. However, I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the new movie. P&P is, in general, the most popular Austen work. It won't matter how many Sense and Sensibilty, Mansfield Park,...
optimisticghost asked: Why don't you do another poll that mentions BESIDES Pride & Prejudice and Elizabeth/Darcy? That would be interesting, I think :D
the-metres-gained asked: What do you think of the Rozema (1999) adaptation of Mansfield Park? Particularly Fanny, and Sir Thomas - what did you think of the characterisation? What were the best and worst bits of the film for you?

dreammmaker asked: what movie is this from? ive seen pride and prejudice at least 50 times and i dont remember this at all!
moresilverpennies asked: Not really a question, but i think that Elizabeth and Darcy are the most popular out of Jane Austens characters because they are the most well known. Pride and Prejudice has the (currently) most main stream audiance because of the new movie.
austen-heroine-deactivated20100 asked: No surprise Darcy and Eliza won. I really love this blog, The pictures make my day. I really think you should do more polls, they are lots of fun. Keep doing an amazing job!
