Captain Wentworth, please.

"I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago. Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. You alone have brought me to Bath. For you alone, I think and plan. Have you not seen this? Can you fail to have understood my wishes? I had not waited even these ten days, could I have read your feelings, as I think you must have penetrated mine. I can hardly write. I am every instant hearing something which overpowers me. You sink your voice, but I can distinguish the tones of that voice when they would be lost on others. Too good, too excellent creature! You do us justice, indeed. You do believe that there is true attachment and constancy among men. Believe it to be most fervent, most undeviating, in

F. W.

I must go, uncertain of my fate; but I shall return hither, or follow your party, as soon as possible. A word, a look, will be enough to decide whether I enter your father's house this evening or never."

Is that the most romantic letter ever written or what?

(If Wentworth isn't available, I'll take Matthew Macfadyen's Darcy )

I also liked Tom Hardy as Heathcliff
but Michael Fassbender as Rochester
.. i thought Rochester is supposed to be ugly though :& ,, and they cast one of the best looking men

[chocapic]

Based on the books only, between Darcy and Rochester (haven't read Emma) I would say Darcy, definitely Darcy. I'm not nearly as strong or witty as Elizabeth so I don't think we would be a good match.

How did Heathcliff even get into this competition? I mean he is hot and I loved Wuthering Heights. But what a psycho! That whole perpetuating the cycle of abuse disgusted me tbh

[carnationlilyrose]

Darcy, because then you'd actually be Elizabeth Bennet, who is a much more appealing character to be than Jane Eyre or Emma Woodhouse.

Mr Darcy. Unattainable, unpretentious man seems more attractive. He's hate at first sight and when we got to know him better, we're falling more and more in love with his personality.

Matthew McFadyen

Colin Firth > Matthew McFayden

Colin Firth > Matthew McFayden

Agreed. I would take Mr Darcy regardless of the tv adaptation but I do love Colin Firth.

[Kalliope]

Mr Knightley for me, personality-wise.

But Darcy if he looked like this, of course:



(I'd much rather by like Elisabeth than Jane or Emma though)

[starshine123]

In terms of which one's the best character I'd say: 1) Rochester; 2) Darcy; 3) Knightley.

In terms of love interest 1) Knightley; 2) Darcy; 3) Rochester (and I'm being kind I don't rate him at all as a romantic hero).

[Hravan]

Anybody watching Emma on ITV at the moment?

(The Kate Beckinsale and Mark Strong one )

[pink pineapple]

Mr Darcy
Because he comes across as extremely arrogant, he deeply cares and loves Lizzy
oh, and of course that added of Colin Firth in the tv adaptation of pride and predjudice!
