Cain Looks Alike?!
Rupert Graves<---> Earl Cain <--> Alfred Dogulas

         To whom Cain looks alike?! It's a difficult and unease task to fit real persons into   comic characters. If I ask you to name a person who looks like Cain Hargreaves, who rush into your minds?!  
This drawing is drawn by my friend, do you think it looks like Cain?!

Rupert Graves
Oh
my.. oh my.. if you are a regular visitor of this site, I now don't have the guts to face you. >_<... Can you hand me a paper bag for me to wear over my head?! Because... because.. I just found that I misconcepted Kaori Yuki's 'Rupert' with my favorite 'Rupert'! I found that that Rupert Ms. Kaori Yuki mentioned is not Rupert Everett, but Rupert Graves ! !!

Rupert Graves - another talented British actor. Kaori Yuki said that it was Rupert Graves from 'Maurice' who gave her a spellbound impression. And so, when she drew 'Earl Cain', she based on Rupert Graves' fined face as Cain's. Do you think Cain looks like Rupert?!


Rupert Graves
To learn more about Rupert Graves, plz visit his official site !

'Maurice'- one of the classic pieces by the famous writer E.M. Foster (Foster's novels are mainly about the upper classes in Victorian times; some works also involve homosexuality) his other famous works include 'A Room With a View' .'A Passage to India', 'Where Angle Fears To Threat ). In fact, nearly all works by E.M. Foster have been made into movie. And most of them are played by Hugh Grant, Rupert Graves and Helena Boham Carter (she is beautiful ! ). Look! This is the poster of 'Maurice'! Don't tell me you are clueless about the man in this poster! Yes! He is Hugh Grant! Why there is no Rupert Graves in the poster?! Because it was Grant who played the leading role. And, he is more famous than Rupert Graves . . .
Here is the brief summary of 'Maurice':
Maurice Hall, a student at Cambridge University, discovers that Clive Durham, a very good-looking classmate of his, has fallen in love with him. However, Maurice does not reciprocate, intimidated by England's intolerance of homosexuality. Maurice eventually comes to terms with and accepts his sexual preference, but in the meantime Clive has gotten married.

De facto, when I was young, I also mixed up a few beautiful, well-fined British actors like Rupert Everett (when I was a kid, I really like him!!!) , Rupert Graves, Hugh Grant (he is cool too!!! Esp. in the 80's and early 90's), Julian Sands (I admire him!!), etc. Maybe it's because I adored American films more?! Which British actors you like?! By the by, do you like Jude? He played Lord Alfred Dogulas (Bosie) from the film 'Oscar. Jude Law really looks like the real Bosie!!

 Lord Alfred Douglas
- to me, he is the mostly likely candidate of Cain
           I don't know if Ms. Kaori Yuki knew Lord Alfred Douglas. To me, I think Lord Alfred Doguals or Bosie (as he was always known), is the most look alike figure of Cain!! Who Bosie is?! Well, if you are fond of English literature, I'm sure you know who he is. Or, at least you probably have known Bosie closed friend - Oscar Wilde, right?!

 Lord Alfred Dogulas, 22nd October 1870 - 20th Mach, 1945,  an English nobleman famed as the most beautiful undergraduate in Oxford of his day. To a certain degree, I think his noble status and dandified look entangled his career >_< . .. Bosie is one of the most notorious figures in English literature history. His deep and enduring friendship with Oscar Wilde (the Greatest stories, plays and poets writer) made Wilde into the road of no return and in prisonment. 

              From the picture, do you think Bosie's temperament looks like Cain's?! If you want to learn more about Bosie, I highly recommend his biography to you:
Murray Douglas
, Bosie, A Biography of Lord Alfred Douglas, London, Hodder and Stoughton, London, 2000. ISBN 0-340-76770-7 These 3 picturs of Bosie are taken from this book. To learn more about Bosie, you can visit the following sites as well:

Douglas (middle) and his co-editors on The Pentagram, his first, and most successful, paper.

                 Now, I have introduced my ideal Cain here, what about you?! Who is your ideal Cain? I meant, have you found anyone who looks like Cain or Lief?! Please do tell me about it, heeeeee!!
