    It’s still a valid question though. The guy might be fictional but the story is still there, so its coherent to ask questions about its internal universe

      It’s an imaginary character there’s no consensus on how he was supposed to look…

      He’s whatever you picture in your head, and the story obviously says he’s attractive.

      What possible answer besides “yes” is there?

      It’s like asking if the Road Runner was really smarter than the coyote nothing in any of the stories indicates he wasn’t, so why would anyone answer differently?

          Oh really?

          The people that insist their interpretation of literature is correct even after authors clarify that they’re reading to far into it?

          They’re barely better than tarot card readers.

          Go ahead and pass along all their words if you don’t mind.

          I just can’t think of a more perfect arrangement to hear what the “field of literary analysis” has to say to me, than thru an account I’ve just blocked.

        I’m asking for people’s thoughts.

        I wasn’t sure if he was actually beautiful in the story, or he just thought that he was. It was mentioned that he was cursed for being mean to his admirers, which is interesting.

        I also wanted to see if people thought he was beautiful themselves. Some could argue that his behavior made him ugly.
