Both of those guesses are incorrect.

HINT: Pay close attention to the relationship between the first and second halves of each of the first two clues. The answer is the second half of the third clue.

@María Andrea Fernández Sepúlveda Thanks !!!! I wanted to come up with a creative riddle and the thought of using one of us as the answer struck me.

OK! Regarding the current riddle, I think there is also some creative mischief going on ~LOL~ In each case all the words are capitalized making me think that each grouping is the rephrasing of the title of something.

But I don't know what. :shifty:

Since you’re very much on the right track, here’s another hint: the first half of each clue is not (as far as I know!) an existing title, but the second half is.

An extra completed clue line: Not Traitor: An Overt Harm, but Kingsman: The Secret Service

Also incorrect (though I’m very curious as to what the thought behind the guess is, @Stephanie Runyon!)

Another hint:
The first and second halves of each clue are related to each other, but the second halves (the answer halves) are also all movies or TV series with one main actor in common.

Reposting and clarifying so it’s all on one forum page:

I am not The Married Woman, but A Single Man.
I am not Humility or Neutrality, but Pride and Prejudice.
I am not Traitor: An Overt Harm, but Kingsman: The Secret Service.

I am not A Subject’s Silence, but what am I?

CORRECT!! :happy-wavemulticolor:

For those who didn’t figure out the code, each first half of the clue was an antonym of the second half, and the second halves were all movies or TV series featuring Colin Firth 😊

Your turn, @DATo

"O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!” He chortled in his joy. :dance:

NEW RIDDLE:

1) I am an object which was desired by many.
2) But I was destined to be possessed by only one.
3) I would have normally been created for the purpose of destruction.
4) But in my particular case I was created only to bring good into the world.

What am I ?
