Okay everyone, it has been a long, long time since I posted on the board, but PLEASSEEEEEEE! The sxiest and most heroic is Magua, of course. I just HAD to jump in on this poll!
Ros, the Huron Harpie!
Ros,
We had no idea that you you were such a Magua fan.  LOL
It really is good to see you posting. We haven't heard from you in such a long time!!! Maybe we will see you at the next Gathering?
Love,
Kay

I would have to say Duncan because he made the ultimate decision that was--so, SO brave. He gave up his life, not only for Cora but for Hawkeye as well, as much as some might hate to say it, but he had a lot to live for, because Duncan was a handsome guy, so he could have with 100% certainty found someone else to spend his life with and be happy with, but he gave up his life because at that moment, he wanted to show Cora how much he loved her and that--THAT is heroic. how many guys do you know would give up their lives for a girl who rejected them AND plus, give up their lives for the guy the girl rejected him for?? lol. Duncan is the TRUE hero of this film because had he not done what he did, Hawkeye would be dead, Cora would be lost out of her mind with grief and Chingachook would have NO sons left and Cora wouldn't have anyone either...so see, Duncan saved this film and all of them :) |

| Further more, I'd like to add that a lot of people look at Hawkeye and Uncas as heroes because of their "looks". Sure Hawkeye and Uncas were handsome but come on--heroes?? if Hawkeye was so much a hero, he would have stayed there under that cave with Alice and Cora and fought back against Magua and his men (sure he might have been taken in and beaten and stuff) but still THAT'S heroic--staying there through thick and thin, in the fight...ok so they had no more powder for their guns, he could have sent Chingachook and Uncas for gun powder and HE could have stayed with Alice and the Major and Cora but he left them. Also how heroic IS Hawkeye to have another guy die for the woman he (Hawkeye) claims to "love"?? if Hawkeye really loved Cora, looks to me, he would have said "nah Duncan, Cora's my woman, and I'M dying for her." Yeah Duncan may have lied earlier, but it WAS done out of love for Cora. He thought if he had told the truth about what he saw, it would bring Hawkeye and Cora closer because Duncan knew Cora was finding Hawkeye attractive even before he got to the fort...and well, look at the film, Cora was standing right there watching the ENTIRE situation, watching Hawkeye with a bit of awe. lol but in the end, Duncan is the one who made one HELL of a great sacrifice. He gave up his "life"....to me he is a hero..ok I'm done, lol :) |

I voted for Uncas becuase of his sacrifice for Alice...I find it so sad and heartbreaking! But on the 2nd place I put definitely Duncan, because he gaves his life to allow the woman he loves to live with another...what an unselfish person! |
