Messieurs Mills n Boon and the Cheltenham Literary festival have a nice little competition here. You get to choose your favorite literary hero from the following list:
- Richard Sharpe – Sharpe by Bernard Cornwall
- Fitzwilliam Darcy – Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
- Mark Darcy – Bridget Jones’s Diary by Helen Fielding
- Rochester – Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
- Rupert Campbell Black – Rutshire Chronicles by Jilly Cooper
- Rhett Butler – Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
- Heathcliff – Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
- Captain Corelli – Captain Corelli’s Mandolin by Louis de Bernieres
- Henry DeTamble – The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
- Gabriel Oak – Far From the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy
Not a very long list, but it was easy for me to make my choice – Mark Darcy from Bridget Jones’s Diary. I think he is just the perfect modern-day hero 🙂
Who is your favorite literary hero?
@Nish: Yep, the same Rupa. I remember borrowing Gone with the Wind from your collection. And I read it day and night until I finished it. 🙂 Good times…
hehe…good, I don’t remember it 🙂
We should catch up on chat/ Facebook. It’s been ages…
Fitzwilliam Darcy. A thousand times over. 🙂 Oh…Rhett Butler would be a distant second.
You are a traditionalist, I see :). Btw, you the same Rupa from John’s??
Fitzwilliam Darcy for many reasons.
Looks like he is the popular option 🙂
Iam with Pearls.. Rhett Butler… and also I would like to add Atticus Finch from “To Kill A Mockingbird”..
Ohh…yes Atticus Finch, so good. I love a man with integrity.
Rhett butler….. definitely rhett butler.. – He was equal opportunity and sexy back in the day…
