Thank you Scheherazade! :)
Is it demented to say Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov from Crime and Punishment? I always wanted to to be the soft light to his melancholy darkness.
I know what you mean about Holden Caulfield, just because he's so smart and perceptive and a rebel! Oh yeah and he's depressed,, well, I don't really know much about that but it certainly makes him interesting!
Okay, so I am almost finished with Pride and Prejudice....I am SO in love with Mr.Darcy! He is just so....so.... *squeels* *sigh*. What am I supposed to do about this?! I can't help it!
Yeah, Black Flag, I'm with ya on the whole Elizabeth thing, from [I]Pride and Prejudice.[I] Also Elinor from Sense and Sensibility. Also the protagonist from Persuasion. Let's just face it...Jane Austen is hot.
Yep... Im usually a dare-to-be-different kinda girl but I have to admit... Mr Darcy is rather dashing :D
Although I do like Mr. Bingley too just because hes lovely...bless him.
LadyW I love your avatar! I saw that movie for the first time last night...Mr.Darcy... *sigh*

John Worthing from The Importance of Being Earnest
Damn straight. Strange she never married.Quote:

Why thankyou very much Tosca, If you would like, I have a couple more P&P avatars and will be very glad to send them to you.
I would love that very much! Thank you! I watched the movie again today! It is so romantic!
looks like i'm not the only one here who's calling dibs on Mr. Darcy! i fell in love with him even more with the movie.. (i wish i could take keira knightley's place..)
i don't know if anyone here has read Across Time-i fell in love with Alessandro di Montefiore, but he just happened to be married to Isabella (though i think we could omit those last two letters, lol)
there was Welles Blackburn too, from Tears of Jade, which i also don't think anyone is familiar with.
*sigh*
post-script... nice avatar LadyW. :)
Oh, I know! Matthew Macfadyen played an excellent (and a totally hot) Mr. Darcy! That movie was just splendid!
*Back off, Kiera!* :)
:lol: I loved the movie and loved Mr. Darcy even more. But somehow, I'm currently having a crush on Mr. Thornton of North and South, he's a lot like Mr. Darcy, but I kind of sympathized with him more, don't know why though. But still Mr. Darcy rocks! :D
Oh, I love Mr Darcy...have you seen the BBC series??
Colin Firth is just perfect;) !!!!
I would have to say Edward from the 'Twilight' series. The way he is described is like a sexy forbidden love.
One of my very first crushes (ever!) was on Jupiter Jones from the Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators series. :blush:
Hm, I must admit that I had (and have .. ? :blush: ) a rather large and persistent crush on Professor Snape. And him on screen only made matters worse :D...
Snape! hehehe. I admit I like him, too! Mr. Darcy still holds the number one spot for me though!
Well i actually have a crush on Mr Collins "Maaybe he has a cousin"
jokes, as every other teenage girl Mr Fitzwilliam (isnt it interesting how they dont use his name often in the recent film) Darcy :)
All right, you can have Darcy, I don't find attractive enough even for all his wealth ;) Though living in the dungeons with Snape might not be that fanciful, but I'm sure this could be helped somehow :D.
I really liked the Mellower from The Ear, the Eye and the Arm. I wanted to give him a hug! (Wonderful book, by the way)
If falling in love with a character in a novel/play was a possibility...who would win your heart?;)
Raskolnikoff from Crime and Punishment
And yes I know he was a murderer.
Professor Higgens from Pygmalion
Now hate me even more. :p

I have an unfortunate tendency to fall in love with the most unsavoury types... so probably Eugene Onegin from the eponymous novel, Stiva Oblonsky from 'Anna Karenina', or some other charming scoundrel of that sort...
On the other hand, Mr. Darcy from 'Pride and Prejudice', the cold and single-minded St John Rivers from 'Jane Eyre' and Sebastian Flyte from 'Brideshead Revisited' are all very sexy characters in very different ways.
And Jude from 'Jude the Obscure' was a lovable guy too.
I'll surely come up with more, as I'm always swooning over literary characters :lol:
Clare Abshire from The Time Traveler's Wife. The lengths he put that poor woman through just goes to show shes nothing less than a saint. :)

I'll second Darcy and Sebastian. I like the bad/tortured ones, Brick in Cat on a hot tin roof and iago in othello :DQuote:

Becky Sharpe, the minx
I absolutely fell in love with Howard Roark in The Fountainhead
and I had fallen in love with Jennifer Roberson's Robin Hood in The Lady of the Forest
Jace Wayland from City of Bones.
Petruchio from The Taming of the Shrew because he has such a sense of humour, (maybe because I remember Richard Burton being so gloriously over the top!)
I do have to agree with this one. ;)Quote:

Captain Wentworth - Persuasion (OBVIOUSLY!!!!:D)
Rochester - Jane Eyre
Algernon Moncrieff - "The Importance of Being Earnest"
Sydney Carton - A Tale of Two Cities
Benedick - "Much Ado About Nothing"
Alec Scudder - Maurice
I know there are more, but those are currently the ones that top my list. :)
I don't think I could fall in love with Rochester (one of my least favourite characters) but well who knows since people tend to fall in love with people they don't like in the beginning as well! I mean look at Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet. Maybe if we get to know each other better....
Sydney Carton on the other hand? Yes, that's a good one. I love cynics and pessimists! :p
Sometimes, love just happens. There are no reasons, and if there are, they are just unknown or you can not express them in words. :pQuote:
Hee hee - What is it about him exactly?
As contrary this is to every moral fiber in my being- John Proctor (The Crucible)
Yes, see, that is a good way to look at it! :DQuote:

If it had not been the cause of the Trojan war, I could select Paris, but the one from the myth about his decision to choose Aphrodite as the most beautiful of the three, because she promissed to give him the love of a woman. I admire his wisdom to see that love is the most precious value in life. Not Paris from Homer's "Iliad".
