i'd bump up Colin from Wrinkle in Time and also Edmund Dantes from The Count of Monte Cristo. And did i miss Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights? Or am i the only one who likes tortured, un-helpable men?
ReplyDeletehe was on the 111 brits list. we just weren't fans. i dunno, he was always so whinyyyy...
ReplyDeleteGlad to see Peter Pan and Robin Hood. The lack of Heathcliff is a little sad; same for Puck from Midsummer Night's Dream. Huge points for including Howl and Corlath (though Luthe would've been acceptable, too). Nice list!
ReplyDeleteSimon from Lord of the Flies? Isn't he like 12?
