You should have seen this one coming … Who is your favorite Male lead character? – BTT
Off the top of my head:
Morpheus from Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman – Okay, so he’s not particularly heroic. He’s broody, quiet and mysterious, but awesome characterisation.
Mr. Rochester from Jane Eyre – If anything, he is entertaining to read.
Will from the His Dark Materials series – One day, if I am blessed, I’d have a son as loyal, loving, strong and smart as Will.
Calvin and Hobbes from Calvin and Hobbes – Technically comics but whatever. I love Hobbes more.
Harry Potter from Harry Potter – ’nuff said.
Hazel from Watership Down – Smart, quiet, and talented.
Peter Pan from Peter Pan – Maudlin again.
Cal from East of Eden – Flawed, angsty Cal. Not a hero per se, but definitely a lead.
Winnie the Pooh from Winnie the Pooh – Well, he’s somewhat heroic.
