You're welcome to hate her as much as you please, but she's really NOT a Mary Sue. Fellowes is too conscious of her flaws, which she gets called out on regularly - most recently by her grandmother who tells her: "a lack of compassion is as vulgar as an excess of tears."

There is a HUGE difference between a female character written as a cold haughty snob that all the other characters worship anyway, and a female character written as a cold haughty snob that most characters RECOGNISE as being a cold haughty snob.

I agree that male suitors treat her with far more fascination than she deserves, but honestly, I'm so sick of the "Mary Sue" label.

exactly-- she's kind of a bitch, and everyone knows she's a bitch, and they call her out on it.

I mean... she is wealthy, noble, and exceedingly beautiful. She may get more fascination than she deserves ethically (if you want to make any ethical claims about people deserving romance) but it's not exactly unrealistic for her to have male suitors fascinated with her.

All of this. She is called out, she's been miserably unhappy in her life choices, she's had a terrible thing happen to her - she's not Mary Sue.

Yep yep yep. Well said. She gets away with a lot, but things always come back to bite her.
