Answers…
Mostly A = You got Lydia Bennet!
âwild, noisy, and fearlessâ, the youngest Bennet sister is definitely the most lively. Lydia loves flirting, gossiping, dancing, and anyone in a red coat. She livens up any party and certainly knows how to keep people on their toes.
Mostly B = You got Mr Darcy!
The rich and handsome Mr Darcy may not always make a great first impression and his proposals could use a bit of work, but to his closest friends and family he is âjust, sincere, rational, honourable, and perhaps agreeableâ.
Mostly C = You got Elizabeth Bennet!
One of the most beloved heroines in all of literature, Elizabeth Bennet is delightfully witty and she has âa lively, playful disposition, which delighted in any thing ridiculousâ . Sometimes a bit quick to judge, but sheâll always look out for her closest loved ones.
Mostly D = You got Mr Collins!
Cousin to the Bennet family, Mr Collins certainly aims to please wherever he goes. He spends his time âarranging such little elegant complimentsâ, and is not opposed to the odd name-drop â has he mentioned his esteemed patroness, Lady Catherine de Bourgh?
