A sign of the times for sure.Paula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533677737021490096.post-57029363859762880262017-04-07T21:39:31.069+10:002017-04-07T21:39:31.069+10:00I have to agree - narcissism seems to be claiming ...I have to agree - narcissism seems to be claiming more and more scalps every day. <br />My suggestion would be Professor Henry Highins - technically he is a misogynist, but that is just narcissism with a gender-bias. He certainly fits the bill of being completely in his own rhrall. Ditto Mr Collins from P&P who cannot understand how Lizzie could possibly refuse such a marvellous specimen as he.

As I'm known to choose from movies and even sitcoms, a grand old stage musical should definitely be up there.Paula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533677737021490096.post-16178878543408570912017-04-07T09:21:30.704+10:002017-04-07T09:21:30.704+10:00Hi Jenny,

While he was a bit of a Narcissist, anyone would have to admit he also added a lot of appeal to the book.

As for another literary narcissist - maybe Zaphod Beeblebrox in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. And come to think of it even Marvin the Robot - for though he is thoroughly depressed, it's because he has a brain the size of the planet (or so he say on any and every occasion) & is reduced to leading people around. And then there is Major General Stanley in Pirates of Penzane - the very model of a major modern general (that is, if light opera lyrics counts a literary).Jeanette O'Haganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11057798704247611224noreply@blogger.com
