The actor.
ReplyDeleteI love Penry-Jones as actor, but I prefer Ciaran HInds as Captain Wentworth.
When I see Ciaran Hinds I relate to him more for his other roles, like Mr. Rochester, and Aberforth Dumbledore.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm...both? Although I would have to say in the case of Capt Wentworth...the actor! =)
ReplyDeleteThe character-Although the actors that have portrayed Captain Wentworth in the movies embodied the character, I fell in love with him in the pages of Persuasion.
ReplyDeleteI think for me it might be both in this case, with other JA heroes it's the character more so than the actors.
ReplyDeletePersuasion was the second JA novel I read and I can understand falling in love with him while reading the book. I think since I was exposed to him before Darcy explains why Capt. Wentworth will always out rank Mr. Darcy in my book.
ReplyDeleteI think is the character, although Rupert is lovely and really perfect! :)
