Heathcliff!! Although if I had to choose for myself, I’d pick Capt. Augustus McCrae. ---

I was going to complain about Ron Weasley until I saw someone got Edward Cullen. No complaints for me! If I had to pick for myself…Well, I’d be here a while. Deciding. Yeah, that’s it, deciding. ---

Also, since it seems to be based, from the questions, more on ‘which of these characters’ girlfriends are you most like’ than ‘which of these guys is your type’, I can totally deal with being compared to Hermione. ---

I can’t help but snicker at those of you that got Edward Cullen. I got Rhett Butler, and I can live with that. Of course, if I were to choose for myself, no question: James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser. :: swoon :: ---

Mr. Darcy. Suck it. I took the test on my iPad and sometimes I hit the wrong radio button and this thing won’t let you go back, and I accidentally hit the wrong answer on “What do you do after a bad breakup?” I don’t even know what answer I picked, but it came up Mr. Darcy. Then I took the test again and gave all the same answers but answered that one correctly, and still got him! ---

Ah that makes sense, and I am double sorry for Sattua, since apparently she is like that little devil minx Catherine. I am actually currently re-reading Wuthering; it’s one of my favorite trainwrecks, ever. ETA: I’d take Rhett Butler. I’d treat him far better that Scarlett. ---

I got Heathcliff cuz I said my ideal first date was a long walk, I’m sure. It cancelled out my other answers. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-is-your-literary-boyfriend/646775.md?page=2)
