Who is the best classic romance hero of all time?

Question: Who is the best classic romance hero of all time!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Ok seriously! Edward Cullen is NOT a classic romance hero! Stephanie Meyer's books aren't classics yet, in a hundred years if people still love Edward as much as Mr!. Darcy then he will be a classic but not now!

Mr!. Darcy - Pride and Prejduice
Mr!. Rochestor - Jane Eyre
Romeo - Romeo and Juliet
Edward Ferrars - Sense and SensabilityWww@QuestionHome@Com

Mr!. Rochester--Jane Eyre!.

also, he's sort of an anti-hero, but Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights was so passionate, I love him!. "Be with me always—take any form—drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! it is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!"Www@QuestionHome@Com

The first answer to pop into my head was obviously Mr!. Darcy & Romeo!. HOWEVER!.!.!.!.!.

would you consider Gaston Leroux's Eric (the phantom) ,from The Phantom Of The Opera!?

Although he was quite sadistic he did do a lot to prove his sadistic love for Christine!.

lol!. just curiosity I guess!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Definitely agree with Rhett Butler, and Romeo, of course!. I was never a huge fan of Mr!. Darcy (perhaps I need to read the book again!?), but I really liked Captain Wentworth, from Persuasion!. And Sir Percy, from The Scarlet Pimpernel!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I definitely agree that it has to be Mr!. Darcy!.

I also quite liked the character of Henry Tilney, though he wasn't quite so 'heroic' in "Northanger Abbey", also by Jane Austen!.
I loved his witty lines!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Haha, three people have said Mr!. Darcy and Mr!. Knightley!. They were who I was going to say!. Well, there you go!. Ms!. Austen was a genius!. She knew romance (and manners)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sydney Carton ('A Tale Of Two Cities'), who sacrificed everything for love!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
