Mrs. Bates could be the best character ever! We never really find out since her daughter doesn't let her get a word in edgewise! ;)
I love Mrs. Bates on principle because she is loved and respected by others, and I love my job working with elderly people! If Fanny could enjoy Lady Bertram's company I don't see why she should be such a disliked character.
Now, to me Lady Middleton might be to most boring because she seems to only speak of her children and not to really have any original idea or warmth of feeling about anything else. But then why would Sir John marry her if she were completely boring? Well, I voted for her anyway.
Where is Mary Bennet?
