The Guys

     Prince Charming-- he's handsome, gentleman-like, and an all around "great catch" for the princesses. Everyone knows who he is, or at least, we think we do. My question today is, "Who are the heroes of our love stories, and would any girl really want to spend a 'happily ever after' with one of them?" Well, let's take a closer look: 

The Heroes

Prince Charming

Story: Cinderella

Physical Description: Tall, handsome, charming, etc. Seems not to posses actual teeth; just one white block that shows when he smiles

Good Qualities: Yeah, I couldn't think of any, either

Bad Qualities: Doesn't have any personality, fails even to introduce himself properly* and/or make conversation, is bored with the rest of the world, and only likes Cinderella for her beauty (do you think if she showed up at the ball in her servant's clothes that he would've even looked at her?)

Heathcliff

Story: Wuthering Heights

Physical Description: Handsome, strong, and dark-skinned

Good Qualities: Seems to have found a way to look past Catherine's terrible personality, is a hard worker, and never gives up**

Bad Qualities: Insane. Insane. Insane. Insane. Likes revenge just a tad too much. Insane. Insane. Insane.

Edward

Story: Twilight

Physical Description: Handsome, sparkly, and golden-eyed

Good Qualities: Loves Bella a ton, despite her ditziness, and is very good at protecting her

Bad Qualities: Over-protective, drinks blood, would eat Bella if he didn't have a conscience, and possibly has no soul

Romeo

Story: Romeo and Juliet

Physical Description: Shakespeare doesn't really say

Good Qualities: Awesomely romantic, says sweet things that would make any girl love him, brave

Bad Qualities: Possibly twice Juliet's age, Montague (if you're a Capulet, that's a really bad quality), and has very little loyalty when it comes to girls*** 

     So I ask you, female readers of my blog: would you really want to marry any of those guys and live with them ever after? Personally, I would say no. But you've got to think about it for yourself.

Thanks for listening,

*Did you know that in Disney's Cinderella, the prince doesn't even know her name?

**Did you know that it Heathcliff spends several years getting his revenge on everyone?

***Did you know that at the beginning of Romeo and Juliet, Romeo is actually in love with some other girl?
