Prompt 13: Write what you like about the novel Emma. I have read the book Emma by Jane Austen a long time ago. Perhaps twenty-five or thirty years ago. So, I cannot remember much and don't have the book at home. So all depends on me doing research and Google. A week's deadline is also too short to deliver the book from the library. It'll have to do. I remember liking the book because Emma is an independent young, rich woman who doesn't want to commit her life to a man and marry, at first. It is a bit of a feminist and psychological novel. She thinks she is good at matchmaking and meddling in other people's love life. At the end of the book, she falls for the man she put up a female friend with. Something like that.

Prompt 11: Does any of Downton Abbey's male characters make for a good Darcy? Gay Thomas Barrow, Tom Branson, or Matthew Crawley? Downton Abbey is a British historical drama television series set in the early 20th century. The series, set on the fictional Yorkshire country estate of Downton Abbey between 1912 and 1926, depicts the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family and their domestic servants in the post-Edwardian era, and the effects the great events of the time have on their lives and the British social hierarchy. (Wikipedia). I binge-watched the whole series and the movie. Fitzwilliam Darcy is a very arrogant man of England's upper crust. He is lord of Pemberley, an expensive estate in the county of Derbyshire. He is fairly tall and handsome, but his demeanor is unfriendly, aloof, and unapproachable. In the book Pride and Prejudice Jane Austen describes him as a very disagreeable man, but as the book progresses he is loving and kind. Mr. Darcy struggles with pride and prejudice towards those of lower social standing, especially those who lack propriety. That's when Tom Branson of Downton Abbey comes in. He too has issues with social standing marrying Sybil who is upper class and juggling his job as a chauffeur and journalist. I think the only Downton Abbey character that would make a good Mr. Darcey would be Tom Branson. Thomas Barrow is too sinister and Matthew Crawley is too kind. All three of them are in their own way good looking. When I ponder this question long enough, I also tend to look at Thomas Barrow again. So, I am conflicted. Tom or Thomas?
