favorite character
mine was the Marquis de Carabas. so what character did everyone else like?
shareI haven't seen the mini series, but after reading the novel, I concur; the marquis de Carabas was probably my favorite character. Of course, each of them had such idiosyncratic, individualistic personalities, that it's difficult to choose.
I related more to Richard; he deals with his situation in much the same way you would expect anyone to. It makes him wonderfully accessible; you can look at his reactions and say, "Yeah, that's pretty much what I would have said."
Then there's Door. A strong woman from a noble background. She's the LADY Door, and yet, she can't seem to eat anything without talking with her mouth full.
Even Croup and Vandemar, horrible sub-human characters, had their own charm. That scene in which Croup expertly throws knives between his fingers, and then Vandemar "shows him how it should be done": wonderfully, darkly hilarious. Vandemar's last words, "Bye bye": classic.
But, back to my first point. Yes, I'd have to say that the marquis de Carabas was my favorite character. Why? Because I trust him to be despicable, but not half as despicable as he thinks he is. I always love to be surprised by a character.
Good question. I hope others give you their own impressions.
yea, I have not seen the series yet, but I am going to soon, once my order come into the store.
I read the book as well a couple years ago, and I would have to say that Hunter was my favourite character.
1. because she was strong
2. because she was mysterious
and 3. because she was really brave.
And the part when you realize she was helping out the enemy the entire time, it's like "i would have never expected hunter to do that" because she was lady Doors bodyguard, it's awesome. Even when the angel islington turns out to be evil as well! everyone turns their backs on eachother. wow!
amazing book
