"..so good and slightly downtrodden. " Hmmm?   Written by Chris DS (9/22/2005 10:19 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, What would Jane have revised?, penned by Mary Ellen
Are you new?

Are all Jane's heroines "so good and slightly downtrodden" or not? As an aside, is 'heroes' more appropriate in today's PC mad world or is Pemberley above such PC considerations?

Jane and Elizabeth? Hmmm and Hmmm?
Elinor and Marianne? Hmmm and Hmmm, again?
Emma? Certainly not!
Catherine? Hmmm with bells on!
Fanny? Right Ho!
Anne? Yes, can not argue overmuch with her.

Room for lots of opinions I'd say, unlike Bingley's declaration on Jane's beauty!
