Which Jane Austen Family Should You Belong To?

For the most part, your family is kind and loving, though not very wealthy. There will be an abundance of romance and emotion, but your household won't be lacking in good common sense either. Your half-brother and his wife are best avoided, but your cousins in Devonshire make up for this with their warm hospitality.

You're not the most wealthy or important family, but things are never dull in a household with five sisters and parents who are as different from each other as can be. From neighbourhood balls to flirting with officers to your mother's schemes to marry you all off, there will always be something going on!

If you thrive on money and respectability, this is the family for you. You lead the way in your neighbourhood and are included in every important gathering, though there is quite a generation gap between staid parents and fun-loving children. Aunt Norris can be overbearing, but sweet cousin Fanny will always be around to make life easier!

Your household is small and intimate, but yours is the wealthiest, most important family in the neighbourhood and you always lead the way in your social circle. Plus, your big sister's marriage has connected you with another important wealthy family. Your father can be a fussbudget, but he is also kind and loving.

Even when you fall on hard times, yours is still a family of importance and good breeding. Appearances are always kept up, and you are excellent hosts to those worthy of your company. And if you crave a more warm and friendly atmosphere, you can find it in the family your younger sister married into.

Yours is a large, bustling, easygoing country family, where you all have permission to do what you want, be what you want, go where you want, and marry whom you want. Neither rich nor poor, you nonetheless have kind wealthy neighbours to give you advantages and opportunity.
