Mr. Palmer, because although he can be quite abrupt and not very gallant to ladies he seemed to have both sense and a good heart. The other characters listed just seem either bossy, calculating or annoying.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course Hugh Laurie's Mr. Palmer also has great comedic appeal. :)

I'm a huge fan of Miss Bates's. Love your throwdowns!
ReplyDeleteMrs. Elton is an arrogant, sniping snob ( she is almost comical alongside her husband Mr. Elton ) who needs to be set down a few notches and the other, Miss Bates,a chattering shell of a woman who lives for her family and friends and is in need of respect, kindness and loving care.
ReplyDeleteI also like Mrs. Jennings and Sir John, who when paired are very amusing and generous.
These are all wonderful side characters but I think we see enough of Mr Collins. Mr Palmer would be amazing to learn more about!
ReplyDeletePlus Hugh Laurie's portrayal is wonderful!
