: : : : So the real question here, is: would you, King Richfed, or any other man on this board, agree to be burned alive so that your beloved can go live with the OTHER fellow?

: : : : Hmmm......

: : : The answer is no. I tried that already & he just wouldn't do it, I tell ya! He wouldn't do it!

: : Dear Queen,
: : Then we'll say, Off With His Head!
: : Ah, but then the Queen we'll make off with our heads, right?
: : Yup, the Queen bows to no other might, but to her King!
: : Long shall she live...

: Vita, you are THE great romantic & this is why you so rightly concern yourself with questions of honor. A good quality you have ... 

: So, of Duncan, Sidney Carton (as mentioned below by Gayle), & loss of honor & sacrifice; So few possess it to any noticeable degree today - how sad, how mediocre, how boring.
: Interesting to note one of the greatest lines in English literature was written for a character that had, in the 11th hour, risen to the challenge of great virtues; courage, honesty, honor, love, faith, & self-sacrifice. "It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done ..." In fact, Dickens wrote yet another of the great lines for the beginning of this tale; "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times."

: Of course, Duncan got to utter an astounding thought, too ... complimenting his aching corns & all. Ah, the good old days.
