Which Jane Austen hero should you marry?

You should marry Mr Darcy! Your ideal man is tall, handsome, rich and dignified. It will take some time to break through his shell of reserve and pride, but the unswerving loyalty and devotion underneath is well worth your wait.

You should marry Mr Knightley! Sure, he'll get on your nerves sometimes with his superior knowledge, but deep down you respect him for this, as well as for his steady principles and firm authority. And what could be more enthralling than when he finally admits how much he needs you?

You should marry Captain Wentworth! The dashing naval hero will sweep you off your feet with his intelligence and charm. And who else could melt your heart so easily with a few well-chosen lines of a romantic letter? Just take care not to wound his sensitive pride.

You should marry Henry Tilney! This man will enthrall and intrigue you utterly with his witty sense of humour. He'll be able to bond with you over novels, landscape painting, and even shopping for clothes. And, of course, he'll understand you completely!

You should marry Edward Ferrars! He may be shy and awkward, but you have the patience and understanding to appreciate the tender heart underneath. You share his love of quiet living and will enjoy domestic bliss once you set him at his ease.

You should marry Colonel Brandon! You know you can rely on his sense and strength, but you're also moved by the passions buried beneath his quiet exterior. Your mutual love will help you both overcome any past tragedies and start afresh.

You should marry Edmund Bertram! You want to be cherished and looked out for by a sympathetic man who will take your part against any adversity. In turn, though, you can help open his eyes when his good nature blinds him to the faults of others.
