Men in literature

[CurlewKate]

I've been watching another page where they've held a World Cup of attractive literary men. They are down to the final- having (to give some guidance) eliminated Gilbert Blythe and Charles Bingley. A virtual prize to whoever guess the last two. My DP got it right without hesitation. So......?

Mr Darcy I am guessing is one!

Rochester from Jane Eyre no. 2?

I am just crossing my fingers that Christian Fucking Grey was eliminated in the first round.

Mr. DArcy from Pride and Prejudice?

Laurie from Little Women?

Yep. Darcy's one. I don't think Christian Fucking Grey made the playoffs.

I’d have Mr Darcy and John Thornton from North & South but only the Richard Armitage version

Sherlock Holmes?

Darcy and Jon Snow? Jaime Lannister?

They tend to go for "literature" so Game of Thrones doesn't feature. Yes I know it started as a book.....

James Bond?

Oh, maybe Jamie Fraser from Outlander?

I've got a quiet, but probably totally pointless, hope that Zaphod Beeblebrox is in the last two.

If it wasn't stuffy old classics, then I'd suggest Jon from Maggie O'Farrell's After You'd Gone.

I would have had Darcy and Rochester too. Though admittedly the whole mad wife in the attic thing has not aged well! 😁

Perhaps Knightly?

Heathcliffe?

Or Rhett Butler?

Oh god, no. He's only just down the line from Christian Fucking Grey. Abusive shit.

Rochester was eliminated early, to my great relief.
@WhenWereYouUnderMe Because it's Christmas and because you like Maggie OFarrell, I'll let "stuffy old classics" pass.....

Lady Chatterley’s Lover - Mellors, is that his name?

Severus Snape?

@Vroomfondleswaistcoat oh, god,yes!!

Tony Stephens as Rochester in the adaptation from the mid-2000s will remain long in the memory.

Captain Ross Poldark?

Captain Wentworth

D'Artagnan?
