Alright, /lit/, competition time.

Who is the manliest man of /lit/? Characters only, no authors, and I mean LITERATURE, not pulp fantasy novels or shitty animus.

My nominees:

Edmond Dantes of Count of Monte Cristo

Robert Jordan of For Whom The Bell Tolls

For sheer man? Look to Harry Morgan from To Have or Have Not or, as Anon already stated, Santiago from Old Man and the Sea.

Come to think of it, Hemingway's male protagonists tend to be masculine as hell.

Sorry, it's not Valjean for me, as much as I like him.

It's Javert. Chases Valjean until he cannot fucking go anymore, sacrificing people left and right as he has to, and when faced with being wrong, gives the world the middle finger and jumps in a river.
