So, here is my random thought. Has anyone noticed that traditional tales portray heroes as having no faults, beautiful being good and ugly being evil. Yet, in the three musketeers Porthos is proud and showy, Athos is cynical (especially in romance) and proud, Aramis is very unsure of himself and D'artagnan is impulsive and not as well educated as his musketeer counterparts. in regards to beauty and ugliness, it appears that milady has the internal thoughts of a 'wicked witch' and the outer appearance of a heroine or damsel. Just some thoughts, anyone else pick up on this or anything else unusual in the three musketeers? What do you think?
