Oh how fun! I voted for Knightly and had to smile that he is in the lead! I just finished all her works and was going to make a similar poll to see which of her 6 novels were favorited, but alas Substack only gives us 5 options and I couldn't leave out an entire book. I recently enjoyed the film adaptation of Emma (2009)
Mr. Knightley is probably my favorite. He has such a strong sense of integrity and is committed to doing good in ways great and small. He also knows that loving someone (like Emma) also involves being honest with them about when they’ve made mistakes, and that is so important. And the 2009 Emma is so wonderful-the casting is spot on in my opinion
Henry Tilney is very underestimated. I do love his thoughtfulness-the way he handles Catherine’s assumptions about his father and her subsequent embarrassment is such a good example of that. And I’m so glad-each reread of North and South I find that it is better than I remembered

Henry Tilney! He's funny and thoughtful and reminds me of my husband.
North and South is going on my To Read list.

I do love Henry, too. He would be my runner up. My sister-in-law just read North and South and has told me several times that I simply must read it.
