| Oliver as Darcy |
dear readers,
Women for
decades have swooned over Rochester, Heathcliff and Darcy and to be
quite honest I just don't get it, I mean I do, but not really. I get
the hot manly brooding and the crisp use of the English language.

| Wells as Rochester |
(Oh,
how the words thy and hither make me go weak in the knees). Now I may
lose some readers after this post but come on aren't these dudes a bit
jerky??? (Asshole, sounded too harsh).

| Olivier as Heathcliffe |
Imagine
your sister tells you about this handsome guy who is quiet unless he is
putting someone in their place, calls her annoying but he's still hot
for her and instead of saying, "I love you" he tells her he's really
dating someone else and when things don't go his way he vanishes leaving
behind some cryptic eff-you letter.
Quite
frankly I think Heathcliff sounds like a verbally abusive stalker,
Rochester has a disturbing thing for young women and Darcy (for the sake
of my safety I take the fifth). What is even worse are the women you
love these men. Catherine who only wants Heathcliff because he is off
limits and plays hard to get but yet in her face when she plays hard to
get. Jane, well the poor gal didn't even have chance after the horrid
aunt and cousins. Any touch of warmth seems to make her giddy with
giving affection back. With a mother like Mrs. Bennett seriously I
would marry the first chap that asked and if he comes with an estate,
even better.

| Olivier as Max |
Hold
up...before you men start to like me better...my dysfunctional heart
belongs to dapper mysterious Jay Gatsby (who is essentially Heathcliff
in the 1920s) and Max deWinter (Darcy and Rochester in the 1930s). I
guess brooding, infatuation, drama, game playing, etc are what makes us
attracted to these novels and long for the crazy romance and effed up
men.
Hit me with your thoughts...
