elperian asked:

okay, now I have to ask. who is your favorite elizabeth? your favorite jane? your favorite caroline bingley, if you have one? my love for jennifer ehle and anna chancellor bias me incredibly but otherwise I have no strong opinions.

I replied:

Elizabeth: Elizabeth Garvie in the 1980 P&P! <3 <3

Jane: Rosamund Pike in the 2005 P&P

Caroline: hmm, I care a lot less about her, so it’s difficult to say. I like both the 1980 and 2005 versions (not AC’s, sorry). The 1980 is much more simpering, though, so I lean towards the 2005 (with my usual reservations).

ETA: I also really love Laura Osnes in Austen’s Pride as far as I’ve actually heard it, but it feels a bit unfair to include her since I’ve never seen it.
