The Byronic Hero

As Bronte put it, a man who "is proud,
moody, cynical, with defiance and misery on his brow—usually a secret misery; and is passionate: capable
of strong and deep affection, implacable in revenge."

 My beloved Mr. Darcy:

  2. Me too, but falling for Byronic heroes is tragic and deter mental. And Joe and Sean are such Byronic heroes. Very annoying.

    Nope, pretty sure sparkling vampire women can be heroes too ;)
