Comment on Top 10 Hottest Men in Literature by ciaracustard

Everyone loves Darcy. I think he’s horrible. Ok, so he changes at the end of the novel but he’s a dick through most of Pride and Prejudice. Rochester and Caulfield are too but they are definitely more attractive because they seem more misanthropic as opposed to just snobbish plus they’re a lot more interesting. Definitely not Snape, Sirius or Lupin – they’re really good characters but they’re heroic in a really friendly way that isn’t hot.

Great post, smonthieg I’ve been thinking about. I agree that popular fiction has to have likeable characters. I also think it is telling that this called ‘popular’ – imho most people don’t want to read about nothing but horrible people! What I don’t like is the attitude I’ve picked up (though I may be being unjust) that creating ‘nice’ characters is somehow lazy, boring or just not good. Though I agree that nasty characters create conflict etc, wouldn’t it be just as valid a demonstration of skill to create similar conflicts in likeable characters, which would throw up its own challenges? Just my rambling thoughts, hope they make sense! Anyway, thanks for a really interesting post.

My mother is also a narcissist and it is excruciating…I’ve read a few books from Barnes & Noble (Narcissistic Family and Will I ever be Good Enough) and they helped. Getting counseling last year helped even more. I hope everything turns out ok for you!

This poem sends me places much like the writer implies to breathe and take in solitude and sanctuary between point A and B.The terse verse draws vivid scenes skimming across one’s mind.

What a story, where to begin writing this.. You are powerful and you ARE loved Jessica.

Wow! I’m, impressed with that example of allegory that you made. Actually all of that is totally true. Nice mind and awesome analysis. Continue doing things like that and I would be joyful is you send me abother analysis like that one. I just loved reading this one. Thanks, take care, and God bless you.
