Two romantic pairings that should have happened, in Ivanhoe and The Deerslayer.
In Ivanhoe, >!he should end up with brave, intrepid Rebecca instead of the soggy but oh-so-blonde Rowena. I realize this would mean Ivanhoe would have to convert to Judaism. I have no issue with that!<
The Deerslayer has an ending so miserable that the final four pages actually changed how I felt about the character and I finished it really despising him. And I didn’t think much of the author either. >!Judith, who’s been intrepid and courageous and is actually tried to rescue him repeatedly, proposes to him only to have him snottily turned her down because someone once told him a rumor that she might’ve kiss someone. Slut! Not good enough for ourbchaste hero. Anyway, later he hears that she dated a soldier, so he knows he did the right thing. What a pathetic prude!< It’s why I never read Last of the Mohicans. If Judith had been the main character, I would’ve read it.
