crosspost: smiles! [Dec 2013]
It's not really meta, but I want to preserve it anyway.
So, awhile back I might have counted the number of times the characters in P&P smile, or are mentioned as smiling. For general edification:
Elizabeth: 27
Darcy: 11
Jane: 9
Mrs Bennet: 4
Caroline: 3
Wickham: 3
Mrs Gardiner: 3
Kitty: 2
Lydia: 2
Mr Collins: 2
Lady Catherine: 2
Sir William Lucas: 2
Mrs Annesley: 1
Mary: 1
Anne de Bourgh: 1
Mr Denny: 1
Colonel Fitzwilliam: 1
Mr Gardiner: 1
Mrs Hurst: 1
Charlotte: 1
Maria: 1
Pemberley gardener: 1
Meryton folk at large: 1
among the other Austen heroes, incidentally:
Edmund: 13
Henry Tilney: 10
Wentworth: 4
Colonel Brandon: 2
Edward: 1
Original tags:
#(obviously this alone doesn't tell you how 'smiley' the characters are) #(e.g. jane undoubtedly smiles more than darcy in-story but simply appears less often) #(henry tilney is probably smilier than edmund bertram but edmund has more scenes in a longer novel) #(etc) #still :) #any time someone describes darcy as unsmiling #NO #GO AWAY
