Hugh or Mr Glascock?


Who did you like better?
I preferred Mr Glascock. I think he was a much better match for Nora. I didn't care for Hugh at all. He seemed very cocky and arrogant. I loved the scene where Mr Glascock defended Nora at a party when some old ladies were saying her reputation would be ruined as well as Emily's. And even after she rejected his proposal he was very gracious to her. The actors that played Hugh and Nora had no chemistry at all. I wish she had chosen Glascock!

My feelings and yours are completely opposite! I thought Glascock a bit cocky and arrogant (not too much, though) and Hugh a very humble man.

I second your comment!

I second your comment as well, randommovies2002. Hugh was humble and good and all that anyone would want in a man. Mr. Glascock was nice and good, but he and Nora didn't have any chemistry. It was Hugh all the way.

I'm with you on Glascock.Titled,rich and a gentleman to boot!

I preferred Mr. Glascock myself. But I knew him from being Frank Churchhill in EMMA (kate beckensale version). To Hugh's credit, his style of acting reminded me of Rupert Graves. But good-grief! Nora should've chosen Mr. Glascock. Anybody who has seen MANSFIELD PARK should know to marry a rich man, especially a good-looking rich man over a workaholic-never-going-to-be-home-anyway poor man.

I preferred Hugh, myself, but both were classy and appealing. Trollope often had his heroines turning down a very attractive prospect while holding out for true love, which they nearly always found in the end. I guess he knew that this sort of fantasy wish-fulfillment would go over well with his many female readers. :)

Dorothy's choice, on the other hand, was a no-brainer--even though the actor playing the parson was very good-looking.

I liked Hugh better, he seemed more sincere.

They were both very dishy though, weren't they?

reply

I think Nora couldn't lose either way. Both Mr. Glascock and Hugh Stanbury had their pros and cons. Personality wise, Hugh was probably the better bet, though.

I completely disagree. Mr. Glascock was nice, but Hugh was far better.

Mr. Glascock was certainly appealing in his own right! I really enjoy a love triangle where no one is the villain, but it comes down to making a choice based on preference. This theme is also in The Notebook and Sweet Home Alabama. Just because someone is a good guy doesn't mean he's the one for you.
