None of them
None of them
Who are those people on the end?
Poor Oak- no one voted for him.
social consciousness is sooo appealing (whether the author's or the character's) - I vote for Atticus Finch. :p
You can always nominate your own:Quote:

Hmm...he's not a Romantic hero, but the closest thing to a hero on this list: Atticus Finch!!
My own hero though: John Proctor
I do love John :) Go Proctor!
He might be my favourite written character ever. And when I say "might be", I mean "definitely is".Quote:

If you would like to add new names to this list, please PM me.
No chance of getting Renzo added to the list? I doubt most of you have read The Betrothed, but it is essentially The Italian novel.
I voted for Gabriel Oak but only because poor Will Ladislaw is missing :(

Sunday is the last day for submitting nominations!
I voted for Gabriel Oak because it is the kind of man that I would like to be with in reality too (Adam from East of Eden is a reliable, kind, trustworthy and hardworking man too).:thumbs_up
But I was very tempted to vote for Rochester too because he is a very exciting and interesting character, kindhearted too, with a good taste for women character (Jane Eyre is my favourite book and character) plus he is terribly sexy;). So he is the perfect hero for a novel although I wouldn't get along very well if he was a real man I am afraid.:p
Last day to send in your nominations, folks!

I recognize most of the names but cant pin a few of them, Yossarian? :confused: Renzo?
Im really bad at names, that aside I have never seen what anyone can see either appealing or romantic in Darcy, he is just annoying in fact most romatic heroes are annoying and need a good kick or two, dont even get me started on the male Bronte charcters.. grrrrr :crash:
Renzo is from The Betrothed and Yossarian is from Catch-22.
