Which Classic Female Literary Character Is Isaac?
I came across this quiz while belatedly browsing over at Rebecca Goetz's (a)musings of a grad student. In the spirit of Johnny Depp's gender-bending rendition of Captain Jack Sparrow, I figured it couldn't hurt to subject myself to one silly little exercise. Since I am notoriously unrefined, I don't actually know enough about classic female literary characters to decide how I feel about the result. I suspect it is more a reflection of my obvious anticapitalist politics than it is of my dubious amorous proclivities, since pretty much every question was just a choice between love and money. I also resent having only one opportunity to express my assertiveness (it was either that or charismatic, and as anyone can attest I am quite a charmer). Anyhow, what do I care? I don't even know who Beth March is. Silly pirate, quizzes are for girls.

I am Jane Eyre, which is amazing since Jane Eyre (and Elizabeth Bennet) is my favorite literary femme.
I am WAY cooler than everyone else

I'm shamefully uncultured and none of the names mean anything to me. I know the name Jane Eyre, but only because it's the title of a book. How come she's your favorite? All I know about Beth March is what my Mom told me, that she's from Little Women and they kill her off in the end. Pleasant, eh?
Yup, Beth is from Little Women. It's been a long time since I read the book (prob. 3rd grade) but Beth is the sweet quiet (very religious, too, as I recall) one out of the four sisters, and yes, she does die. The other three are Meg (oldest, bossy), Jo (tomboy, reader), and Amy (youngest, spoiled brat).
Oh, I'm Elizabeth Bennet, by the way. :)
