Default Re: Evelyn Waugh: Brideshead Revisited

Are they the same man? He is definitely handsome, Liam, but he is way too confident about his look for my taste. I prefer an awkward man who is not aware of his worth. Now I am curious how you look. I am picturing you as a fashionable New Yorker with a beautiful face. I will just have to watch the 2008 version because the other one is faithful to the book and I read the book. Matthew Goode played Sebastian or Charles?

To answer beelzebubbles' question, Charles was drawn to Sebastian when he met Sebastian first at Oxford. Sebastian was described as a kind of man who charms everyone and who is always pleasant, in short, a charismatic person. No one would ever take offense from him and no one would ever think of harming him. Charles loved him with his mysterious sides. Charles grew up without knowing a family life under an indifferent father and so naturally he was attracted to the whole family, more so because they were Sebastian's family and Julia's. He said as much when Sebastian took him first to Brideshead. It is true Charles found each member in the family curiously odd at times. Charles loved Sebastian and Julia. He got to know well of Lady and Lord Marchmain and became part of the family and briefly of the house without actually ever belonging to either the family or the house.
