It only worked because I love the characters so much and get so invested in their decisions that they can be so frustrating, too. :)<br /><br />Yeah, Lydia is very frustrating! I especially hate her at the end because she just doesn't seem to understand the impact of her actions and seems very oblivious to the situation she put everyone in. Glad you agree about Bingley, too! I really love him and his affability, but it's frustrating that he's so easily swayed!<br /><br />And I LOVE The Young Victoria! So good!

Reading your comments definitely had me itching to go reread the novel. I do think that Mary should have earned a place on this list, too! She always bothered me so much when I was reading. In the book she manages to be righteous, pious, and judgmental, not to mention pretty dull.

But then as I started reading who you picked and your reasons, I was literally laughing and thinking how that character WAS totally frustrating!<br /><br />Lydia is probably the most obvious frustrating character for me because she makes such bad choices. But even Mr. Bingley... who I love... and doesn't have a bad bone in his body... You do get frustrated with him because he lets others influence him too easily.<br /><br />(And when I saw your picture of Wickham, I was like, "He's hot... and looks familiar... what else has he been in?" So I looked him up, and he's also Prince Albert in the movie Young Victoria with Emily Blunt. If you haven't seen that movie, it's sooooooo good!)<br /><br />AWESOME list!!!<br /> <a href="http://hughesya.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Lauren @ Hughes Reviews</a><br />LHugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447464817875756643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-64169080613769889752013-01-29T14:24:20.839-05:002013-01-29T14:24:20.839-05:00Oh yes! All of these people are frustrating and mo...Oh yes! All of these people are frustrating and most are so lovable as well. That's what's great about Austen, even her most loved characters make mistakes and come across as human. It's no more true than in P&P. I'd also add Kitty the follower. I know she's minor, but I want to tell her, MAKE YOUR OWN DECISIONS, girl. Also, I'd definitely rather die a lonely old woman than be strapped to Mr. Collins. But that's the thing, we live in a different time and the choice wasn't so easy (though Austen made it for herself). Can't wait to see what you have next for us.
