Poldark Saga - Winston Graham discussion

Let's have a little bit of fun fantasizing our ideal romantic or life partner--male or female--based on their character traits. Pick a single character, or the best qualities from multiple characters to create your ideal and describe why this would be your ideal.

Don't forget to give spoiler warnings if referring to a specific event in one of books!

You start. Tell us why Dwight.

Dwight Enys is my fantasy husband. He's kind, understanding, self-sacrificing, loyal to his friends, honest, and a trusted confidant. I think I would have some moments of jealousy when he puts the needs of others above those of himself or his family, but I would accept that quality in him.

If I were to pick my "perfect wife" it would have to be a mix of Caroline and Demelza. I love Demelza's wit and wisdom, her hard working and pleasant nature, but I would want Caroline's self-confidence.

Oh, nice choice! Now you have to explain why (alerting the newer readers to the spoilers). :-)

I'll take Ross, for his good intentions, courage, intelligence, tenderness, consideration, idealism, authenticity, generosity, sense of humor, confidence and physicality, and add to him the qualities that Drake possesses of faith & faithfulness.

I appreciate how Drake didn't use his faith to demean others but to guide his own thoughts and actions. His constancy was also very admirable. Even Ross grew to respect and admire him.

So in my ideal romantic scenario Ross would take "hold of the blessing" sometime...(view spoiler)[ between book 1 and book 3, LOL! (hide spoiler)]

I'd pick Ross too, but I don't think I'd handle the fling with Elizabeth very well.

Mmmm hard one.... Jud or George? Someone get a coin to toss please
