Hmm. You make me want to watch the mini-series. I really have a major grudge against any version that doesn't feature Alan Rickman- ESPECIALLY WHEN IT INCLUDES A DUELLING SCENE HE DIDN'T GET TO DO *criz*- but the fact that there are undertones of Elinor/Brandon...oooh...
Marian's useless. She totally didn't deserve her happy ending- serves her right if she ended up penniless and miserable with Willoughby- but I grit my teeth and tell myself that BRANDON wanted her, so I'll be happy for his sake. Though I would totally make him much happier... :P
I know life in those days wasn't all that romantic fiction makes it out to be, but oh, that I could marry a dashing rich gentleman and live out my days spending his wealth on frivolous things...
