Watching Austen

Due to an Image and Sound essay that I finished at the end of last week, all I have been doing for the weekend is watching Jane Austen movies.
Pride and Prejudice- Check
Mansfield Park- Check
Northanger Abbey- Check
Emma- Check
Persuasuion-
Sense and Sensibility-
I only have two more movies to go and I have watched them all. Don't get me wrong I absolutely love these movies, maybe because like my flatmate said they are movies that writers like, and since I guess you could say I am in training to be a journalist it makes sense. But I also love these movies because I am a hopeless romantic, yes I can't help it, I want the typical Jane Austen hero who is tall, dark and handsome to come and sweep me off my feet. Oh if I lived back then.
 It got me thinking to where have these men gone? Maybe I'm just not looking in the right place, but then I thought to myself, NO there is somewhere out there I just need to open my eyes and keep an open mind, and you never know you could be peasntly surprised.
