He quietly waited in the wings even though he knew Marriane falling for Willoughby was going to be disastrous for her. He was a gentleman and always treated her and Elinor with respect, even trying to connect with Marriane genuinely through their mutual passion- the piano. paperdollmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14315900640385889481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7319951361865255810.post-84401811431425175612011-08-22T11:34:39.815-07:002011-08-22T11:34:39.815-07:00Thank you for your kind comment!
I'm so glad...Thank you for your kind comment! <br /><br />I'm so glad others like Mr. Tilney too. You're right that there are so many other wonderful heroes, It is hard to understand the Darcy hysteria. But, I do think it has something (maybe) to do with the performances of the amazing actors who have played him.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05257485838861137689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7319951361865255810.post-5569753866152111552011-08-21T14:18:28.888-07:002011-08-21T14:18:28.888-07:00Great post!
Completely agree about Mr Knightley b...Great post!<br /><br />Completely agree about Mr Knightley being the best hero, I wouldn't be able to put it so eloquently but from the very start I thought he was such a great character and such a perfect fit for Emma. But after Captain Wentworth I would probably place Henry Tilney, he's just such a thoroughly good man. I have to say that I almost (just almost, when compared to the others) don't understand the whole Darcy hysteria.<br /><br />Really like the rest of your blog, too.b1anhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13798401874633340087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7319951361865255810.post-36883850839754354042011-08-07T07:02:39.204-07:002011-08-07T07:02:39.204-07:00Thank you for your comment; Yes, a kindred spirit!...Thank you for your comment; Yes, a kindred spirit! The more I started thinking about this, the further Darcy was sinking down the list. And at one time I had Colonel Branden at number 3 on my list too. I agree that he is a very caring man and attractive hero too.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05257485838861137689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7319951361865255810.post-23993288796474881962011-08-06T21:59:49.459-07:002011-08-06T21:59:49.459-07:00I completely agree with your top two...I've al...I completely agree with your top two...I've always loved Knightley and Wentworth while everyone else seemed to favor Darcy. Though I have to say my number three would definitely be Colonel Brandon. He's such a gallant yet mysterious man and does everything he can for the people he loves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
