[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like them both. Wuethering Heights is like watching a train wreck happening. Fascinating (in a bad sort of way) But, honestly, do you really like Rochester? I thought Rochester could have done better by his crazy wife. So, while I wouldn't want Heathcliff, I wouldn't want Rochester either. I think Dickens has some more attractive heros. What about that guy in "Tale of Two Cities" who dies for his love by taking her husband's place on the guillotine? Or the men in Austin's novels? I think Darcy preferable to any Bronte man... [/quote] OP here. Yes, I really like Rochester. I think he remained a gentleman (even though he didn't tell Jane about Bertha); he did not hurt anyone intentionally, unlike Heathcliff. I don't really think you can compare the Bronte's men with Austen's characters. They're really of a different genre. That being said, of course I love Darcy and also the male protagonist in Persuasion particularly. [/quote]
