I've never really been into Captain Wentworth, I admit. He's a good character, not unrealistic at all. Just not my type.
Well, I'm not really sure if he is truly my type either. After all, I'm not really Anne. Are you attracted to the Bronte heroes? I have a theory that most women swing strongly one way or the other. I think it has to do with temperament. I usually stay within the warm to cool range so I like the subtle gestures of Austen's characters. Women who swing more wildly from cold to hot prefer the Bronte men. However you don't really strike me as a drama queen so maybe there's a third type of hero you prefer?
Bront� heros? No, not really. I haven't read all of their books, mind you. Only the obligatory Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, and, uhm, the not-so-obligatory The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. Heathcliff isn't a person, he's a force of nature; Mr Rochester is too Henry-Higginsish, and whatever-his-name-was made no impression at all, so I believe he was a dull character. *g*
Funny about Emily's poetry, isn't it? The same hand that penned those insipid verses was able to write a death-obssessed novel about cruelty and revenge. Odd, that.
Lilliperl, I haven't seen the movie, although I'd like to.
