Literary Botticelli

[chickenfeet]

I'm home with a nasty cold and need entertainment so what better than a game of Literary Botticelli. The rules are here.

My name begins with D

I am fictional, male, married, not human but could reasonably be considered English and was created before 1800.

It would be a stretch to describe the work I appear in as a novel.

I am not Humpty Dumpty or related to eggs in any way.

In most ways I appear to be human. In one important one I do not.

I do not have a tail.

I am not Dylan or Delnabo.

Clues added

My home also starts with D

I appear in a work that was once immensely popular but probably isn't much read anymore

We have a winner

valkyriekaren correctly deduced that I am the giant Despair from Pilgrim's Progress.

That was a terrible yolk. Don't crack one like that again, please.

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

Aye shell not.

[anthrokeight.livejournal.com]

You poached my next pun.

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

No point coddling you...

[anthrokeight.livejournal.com]

I'll have to scramble to keep up with your wit, apparently.

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

Om'a'letting you away with that one.

[anthrokeight.livejournal.com]

It's something you can get over, easy.

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

No easy lay here...

It's late here. I am giving up this pun fest because I have had a long day and am fried.

Now that's laying it on thick. I'm shell-shocked.

[anthrokeight.livejournal.com]

You don't seem very hard-boiled. Did the shell get you when it could see your whites?

[zenicurean.livejournal.com]

I feel rotten about it, but it's true; I'm yellow inside.
