Best male character in a classic? I like that idea! Even the classics have a happy ending. =)

Very true Tammy! I added a couple to the list that are non-romance, like Lonesome Dove because Augustus 'Gus' McCrae is one of my favorite male characters, ever!

I've always preferred Edward Rochester, myself.

Ah, Edward! He's dark, mysterious, and wealthy. What more could a girl ask for?



You've definitely peaked my interest, Katherine. :)
Gully Foyle - The Stars My Destination, by Alfred Bester

Here are my top 10 of the characters :
Parker - The Hunter
Conan - Complete Conan
Gully Foyle - The Stars My Destination
The Continental OP - Red Harvest
Horatio Hornblower - Hornblower and The Hotspur
Cugel - Cugel's Saga
Edmond Dantes - The Count of Monte Cristo
Robert Neville - I Am Legend
James Bond - Casino Royale
Sherlock Holmes

He is funny ! Very sarcastic! Sexy and hot!
For me.. he is the Best Male Character! :)

Francis D'anconia, Ragnar Danneskjold, John Galt, for god's sakes!
Adding now...

I agree. I guess unless you're a strapping, lustful lumberjack, or a brooding, teenage blood sucker you won't make it very far on this list.

Don't forget Hank Reardon!

Amen.

Charles Lutwidge Dodgeson as a character in Alice I have Been is one of the most interesting. Not the best but fascinating.

Parker - The Hunter
Conan - Complete Conan
Gully Foyle - The Stars My Destination
The Continental OP - Re..."
Thanks for posting Hornblower!


Agreed!

PATCH is above Edmond Dantes? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? AND WESTLEY?
Someone please explain to me how a fallen angel who tries to kill his love interest multiple times rates that high.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

And Edward is #1??????

But under no circumstances should Patch rate higher than Westley. NO. CIRCUMSTANCES.

So many things Anila, so many, many things. All we can do is shake our heads and weep for the future.

Agreed, agreed, agreed. I don't even like Mr.Darcy and I don't understand how Edward Cullen beat him. Or how Patch beat Harry Potter. Or how Daniel Grigori is on this list at all. Abusive jerk love interests who say over and over how little they want to do with you? That's what's required to be 'the Best'? *facekeyboard*


I don't want to look through the whole list. But Derek from the Darkest Powers Series had better be there."
i don't know, he kinda gives me the creeps. simon is much nicer.


Tam Lin (Sir John) in The Ballad of Young Tam Lin. Handsome, sexy, sensual, and torn between love for the mother of his unborn child, and his devotion to the eternal Goddess who is the Queen of Summerland.
