In the novel , the Prisoner of Zenda, there is one character whom I like very much. He is Rudolf Rassendyll. I like him because of his physical characteristics. He is very handsome, has blue eyes, red hair and long nose. He is also well educated. He has finished a German University and is able to speak French and German as perfectly as he speaks English.
Another reason why I like him very much is because he is very brave. He is bold enough to impersonate the King and willing to risk his life in order to save the King. He is also very brave to go after Rupert of Hentzau even though he is badly hurt. During the coronation procession, he commands his guards to ride fifty yards ahead of him . He dares to ride alone even though he knows that it is very dangerous for him to do so.
Rudolf Rassendyll is also a honourable person and very loyal to his duty. For instance, he initiates rescue plans to save the King even though he is in love with Princess Flavia and wants her for himself. In other words, he could just let Black Michael kill the King instead of helping him so that he would be the King and Princess Flavia his Queen but his honour would not let him do so. He feels that it is his responsibility to save the King.
In addition, Rassendyll is also very loyal to his duty and willing to sacrifice whatever he owns. Despite loving Princess Flavea very much , he is willing to sacrifice his love because he knows he must put honour before love. Because of these reasons, I definitely like this character the most compared to other characters.
