Ultimate Jane Austen Hero Bracket: Round Two

With eighty votes in, the first round of the Ultimate Jane Austen Hero Bracket is finished. 

Overall, this wasn't a very tough round.  There was definitely some competition between Edmund Bertram and Henry Tilney, but Austen's only hero with a sense of humor won out.  

Willoughby won the rogue's gallery contest against Wickham.  

Edward Ferrars handily defeated Frank Churchill.

And Colonel Brandon won the nice guy contest against Mr. Bingley.

But as we approach the second round there some tough choices to be made.

Now Henry Tilney's good humor is up against the relentless romantic good will of the older and more experienced Colonel Brandon.  

And Edward Ferrars, who can't violate his sense of honor to tell Elinor that he's already engaged (unwillingly) to Lucy Steele is up against Mr. Knightley, the only man who can tell the most important young woman in Highbury, "It was badly done, indeed!"

The time has come.  Cast your votes.  Only four can move forward.
