The fictional love of your life?

I see Mr. Darcy is stealing the show!

Since I last posted I've come up with a few more --- call me a romantic!

* The Baron from Chekhov's "Three Sisters" (so sweet and steadfast)
* Onegin from Pushkin's "Eugene Onegin" (dashing, morose, and the way in which he learns to love is heartbreaking)
* Inman from "Cold Mountain" (OK, so maybe it's Jude Law) :D
* Julien Sorel from "The Red and the Black" (I loved him when I read the book, being very young and not realizing what a hypocritical creep he was) :lol:

maybe that's because Gaskell shows us the perspective of different characters, whereas in P&P Darcy's consciousness is never actually presented (except in one tiny little passage) and we only know him through Elizabeth. ???
which makes me wonder: is it actually Mr Darcy that so many girls like or is it Colin Firth (or that other actor in the new film)? Or is Darcy like a screen on which we can easily project all our own fantasies, interpretations etc, precisely because he is so indefinite?

Faramir from Tolkien's 'The Lord of the Rings', Captain Wentworth from Austen's 'Persuasion' and Sirius Black from Harry Potter are the main ones, for me. However, I'm also rather fond of Giles Winterbourne from Hardy's 'The Woodlanders', and if anyone's read Philip Pullman's 'The Ruby in the Smoke', I've adored Frederick Garland for years.:blush:

:crash:

If I had not already found a very real,very perfect love of my life, I would shamefully admit to Austen's Darcy.

I'm NOT a fangirl...
*squinty eyes*

For some reason, I have always had the oddest attraction to women in J.D. Salinger books - intense, honest, straight-forward, witty. They astound me!

I think we are going to need a bigger wagon then I am in also;)

mr. darcy of course! and perhaps edward cullen. and a mixture of other characters perhaps....

I know I had a lot of fictional crushes before but I couldn't remember at the moment. For the mean time, I'd have to say Francisco D'Anconia and John Galt from Atlas Shrugged.:blush:

Lucie Manette from a tale of two cities, not because I am attracted to her but because I identify with Sidney Carton so much, and there is a Charles Darney in my life as well. The situation suits mine so well sometimes that she would be my fictional love, just as I have my own fictional real love already...

BATMAN! :lol:

Cyrano de Bergerac (I don't mind the big nose...it might even be useful in the sack ;) )
Captain Wentworth (over Darcy any day!)
Aragorn
Marius Pontmercy from Les Miserables (though admittedly he can be a douche)
Razumihim from Crime and Punishment
Hector of Troy (I'd love to be Andromache before the Trojan War)

Sorry, I'd go with Gareth. More loyal than Lancelot and less tortured than Arthur. Plus, I could tease him with "Beaumains." :D

And for all the Edward Cullen shippers out there, LESTAT DE LIONCOURT is and always will be the hottest vampire out there. Period.
