Ultimate Jane Austen Ranking 5: The Rivals

This is the fifth video in a series where I rank Jane Austen's main novels. In this case, I am ranking according to the rivals, the young ladies who are competing with the heroines for the leading men's attention. What would your ranking be? Leave it in the comments below. If there are enough rankings, at the end of the month, I will compile the results and make a video.

My ranking of Jane Austen's novels:

You have excellent points about Jane Fairfax as a rival for Emma. In fact, if we read the events from Jane's POV, we would consider Emma as a much more "defined rival" for Jane. And I agree that Mary always tells the truth about what she wants, it's Edmund who wrongly thinks he can change her.

Oh! And Marilyn Maya Mendoza just posted a video based on Caroline B! :D

I really enjoy Mary Crawford as a character. She is really well rounded and nuanced. Caroline Bingley has to be number one.

Love to hate Lucy Steele...I included her in the Villains poll on Wed! lol
