Arcadia: Bernard as a Romantic hero?

Protagonist -  No i'ts an ensemble cast

Sense of Power/leadership - No but speaks and lectures a lot

Rejected by society - no one likes him apart from Chloe, an absent Lady Croom and to some extent Hannah

Wanderlust - into the past, yes

Melancholy, introspection - No, more flamboyant and attention seeking, trying to impress others

Misanthropy - Mainly distrusts the arguements that others suggest against his theory

Regrets for actions, self criticism - To some extent when he discovers his theories are wrong But don't lead to philanthropy he just runs away

Rejects norms and conventions - of dress
