Darcy or Thornton? Survey says ...
Question posed a while back was: who's your preference, Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy from Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice , or Mr. John Thornton from Elizabeth Gaskell's North & South ? 1. John Thornton - 39 votes - 88% 2. Fitzwilliam Darcy - 5 votes - 11% Thank you to the 44 voters, the results are perhaps not that surprising, considering I'd say the majority of the readers of this blog (love you all!) are fans of Richard Armitage. ;) On the other hand, Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy, he was the first introduction I had to the wonderful world of period drama, and my first cravat crush. (The 2005 version of P&P just doesn't work for me at all. Colin Firth is and always will be the perfect Darcy.)
