Rhett Butler
Gone with the Wind
He is a "real MAN"
Handsome, charming, witty

Certainly Rhett Butler, a real man's man.
I also like Shiloh Irons from the Chenney Duvall books. He's very strong, caring and funny.
Frank and Joe Hardy. They may have only been 17 and 18 in the books, but imagine what kind of men they turned out to be.

certainly not rhett butler he was an a s s
ROMEO WAS STUPID AND MISFORTUNATED
heatchcliff was an idiot
mr. knightley was nice, but i can't say he's my favourite, he's too weak
mr darcy, who the hell was darcy
i liked books a lot, but when it came to reality, it wasn't the same, this man who fits perfectly with someone is a romantic dream, from all the writers you mentioned only shakespsare was a man, and he killed them both
the rest were UNMARRIED WOMEN AT THE TIME or at the second marriage for margaret m after first bad one
though i do believe there are great couples and really in love, it (in) just didn't happen to me, i do wish to exist these things, like great guys
let me think and i'll come back with my answer later

I love the underdog:
Holden Caulfield (Catcher in the Rye)
Duddy Kravitz (The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz)
and Dave (from The Vinyl Cafe Stories)

I have to go of corse, with my namesake, Sherlock Holmes. The first "real" Detective in fiction. Every detective to follow owed something to Holmes. Like most good, fiction, he is based on a real figure in the life of the author. The stories have stood the test of time, countless new stories are published yearly(much of them crap, with a few gems mixed in). He's a;so agreat length to another time period.

Huge cliche but definitely Heathcliff.

My favorite is Hilary Shenstone in Tryst (by Elswyth Thane). He's a ghost, but very loving and tender and with a wry sense of humor.

I've read a lot of books, but I can't think of one where a can played a leading role. Cans don't talk do they?
