He'...I'm SO glad you included Carver Doone! He's so handsome and deliciously dark. I usually go for the bad boys, and he fits it perfectly. Almost like that misunderstood type.<br /> Some of my favorite villains/scoundrels:<br /> Guy of Gisbourne (BBC's Robin Hood show)<br /> Heathcliffe<br /> Rochester (I would think of him as more as a hero, but still a scoundrel)<br /> Willoughby<br /><br />lol I sound lovesick... lol<br /> Love your blog!

He cared more about money than love...<br /><br />MISS LAURIE!!! You missed Wickham! He's the worst. ;) <br /><br />Mmm, Mr. Preston. Pretty bad!<br /><br />And Mr. Elton was definitely the worst in the last one. Did you know he was Edmund in one version of Mansfield Park? I had just watched that, and then saw Emma for the first time...oooo. :( ;)<br /><br />And Mr. Elliot...eek!Charity Uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02717998337967392912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490346761566035007.post-52453933924582069152011-01-28T17:01:27.722-05:002011-01-28T17:01:27.722-05:00Willoughby is my favorite Austin fellow. ;)haha, I...Willoughby is my favorite Austin fellow. ;)haha, I know that sounds AWFUL, but he has so much more personality then most of the hero's, and I also think he's very misunderstood. (I didn't like Dominic Coopers interpretation of Willoughby at all, though I know the 2008 movie is closer to the book.) <br /><br />ANYWAY - as far as the "hero's", Colonel Brandon is fantastic, and I liked Mr. Knightly. *ahem* Darcy I really, truly don't care for. ;)Michaelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12611148379813899573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490346761566035007.post-56498739158435678052011-01-28T16:36:48.863-05:002011-01-28T16:36:48.863-05:00Ooh, great list! I'm going to have to work on ...Ooh, great list! I'm going to have to work on one. <br /><br />I love Willoughby as well. Greg Wise did such a fantastic job with the character. <br /><br />And Carver Doone is sooooo slimy...and he does remind me of a rock star. <br /><br />We've just been watching the 2005 Bleak House this week for the second time, and Mr. Tulkinghorn is pure amazingness. Absolutely wonderful villain.<br /><br />I'd have to add Chauvelin from The Scarlet Pimpernel...another truly amazing villain, esp. as portrayed by Ian McKellen in the 1982 film version.Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17437117457544744702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490346761566035007.post-20345554189299261032011-01-28T14:26:54.678-05:002011-01-28T14:26:54.678-05:00I like Willoughby. I know he's supposed to be ...I like Willoughby. I know he's supposed to be a scoundrel, and I guess he is, though I believe he only made a very bad mistake. He seriously did love Marianne and intended to marry her - only it was his past sin that kept him from doing so, and he was obviously regretful, as it shows in the very last scene of S&S ('95 version) when he was staring out over Marianne's wedding party. ='( <br /><br />Besides, Greg Wise was so handsome. How wouldn't find his portrayal of the character charming, and feel sorry right along with him in the end? ;)Anna Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06311549919932763578noreply@blogger.com
