The handsome, witty, and devilish protagonist, Dorimant loves the thrill and drama of chasing women but does not want to settle down until he meets his match in Harriet. He is defended by most who know him, although despised by his scorned mistresses, Mrs. Loveit and Belinda. He loves games, flirtation, and disguise, but is a cogent enough critic to recognize another game-player -- Fopling -- goes too far. While not necessarily likeable, it is difficult not to admire Dorimant.
