What Heroine of Victorian Fiction Do you Most Resemble?

Tedious, but true.

Excuse me while I go do something sensible and ladylike, yet spunky and independent. ;-)


Jane Eyre from Charlotte Bronte's novel of the same
name.

I got the same results! Jane Eyre was one of my favorite books when I was in high school. It was the only Bronte sister book I could wade through, too.

*Wuthering Heights* could be a bit over the top for some tastes, but try Anne B's *Tenant of Wildfell Hall* which is an oddly modern story about substance abuse . . .

And I think 'Shirley' and 'Villette' are underrated.

Hey, off the top of your head, can you think of good stories by the Brontes? I need to put together some 19th-century stories for my Year 10s -- GCSE coursework. Dickens' stories are traditionally done a lot at my school, and Hardy's 'The Son's Veto' and 'The Withered Arm' are used over and over again. They pretty much use teach men. The kids have to be able to compare/contrast two stories, and there's a list of authors, all British. Charlotte and Emily are on it, as is Elizabeth Gaskell, Jane Austen (more for novels, probably) and Mary Shelley. For different men, Wilkie Collins, H.G. Wells and Robert Louis Stevenson are there too. One thing they must be able to do in the essay is demonstrate knowledge/appreciation of the time period -- how it contributes to the story.

what a perfectly perfect quiz for you! I'm too afraid to take it. What if I end as that Sharpe girl or something....
