I said Emma was a more complex character and also, perhaps someone I could better relate too coz' her disillusionment, arrogance and meddling behaviour were very human traits that we see. However, I said that I didn't 'like' her and agree that Jane Austen had created a character that 'no one but myself would like very much' (however that quote goes).. and Elizabeth Bennett was a much more pleasant character, yet, less independent and free-thinking. Something along those lines.
Apparently that guy was a die hard Austen fan and he adores Elizabeth Bennett and hates Emma.... but Emma is way more complex. SHe' aggravating but more interesting that Liz. Ooh what 2 plays are you doing? My Lit class is filled with only females.. and we are doing Emma and Othello for A2 which is damn cool! We did Things Fall Apart, Glass Menagerie, Plath and Macbeth for AS. It was really weird though... all my class got A for one paper... and for the other paper it was all Cs, Ds and Es! Nuts.
I wouldn't reapply coz' I'm not desparate for Cambridge (well I am.. but you know).. and Nottingham seems to be a place for me. How about you?
