English Rose: Difference between revisions

Line 34:

* Elizabeth's sister Jane from ''[[Pride and Prejudice]]'', both the book and the film. Kind, polite, well-mannered and beautiful English country gentry. Jane is considered the most beautiful young lady in the neighbourhood. Her character is contrasted with Elizabeth's as sweeter, shyer, and equally sensible, but not as clever; her most notable trait is a desire to see only the good in others.

* In [[The Royal Diaries]] book ''Elizabeth I: Red Rose of the House of Tudor'' Henry VIII of England got angry at Prince Edward for being lazy while the girls worked on the rose bushes. Elizabeth was quick to respectfully tell her father that she thinks that Edward's humors were out of balance. For that the king tenderly told the princess that she was the true Tudor rose.

* There's Juliet from [[Romeo and Juliet]] of the dignified house of Capulet. She is a headstrong and intelligent character in spite of her young age. She wants to obey her parents until she meets Romeo and commits herself to him.

*Pam on [[The Winds of War and War and Remembrance]] is this as well as being an [[Intrepid Reporter]], and [[Lady of War]] in both the books and the miniseries. She is the [[Betty and Veronica|Veronica]] of the romance angle of the story. She is not a [[Proper Lady]] in all respects, for she claims to not be very moral and in the strictly sexual sense that is true. But she is loyal to her father and country, patriotic, and has a clear idea of who [[Those Wacky Nazis|the bad guys]] were in her time when [[Les Collaborateurs|some people]] were naive, fearful, or opportunistic. Which gives her an edge up on other categories of morality. In any case she is charming and attractive and, well, ladylike.
