Fave character from a book

[Josephine]

Of all the books you've ever read - who are your favourite character(s)?

 

[LoveInParis]

I love both Scarlett and Rhett from Gone with the Wind - they're just so interesting and full of life.

And also Bridget Jones because she's so funny. There are thousands more so I'll post them when I think of them!

 

[LoveMyBoots]

One that really pops up to mind has to be the obvious Elizabeth Bennet from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. But I really enjoyed Holden Caulfield character in The Catcher in the Rye.

I usually look at the overall theme of the novel and not usually the characters though- unless it's a light read.

 

[Little Star]

I have always loved Ellie Linton from John Marsden's 'Tomorrow, When The War Began' !!!

holden caulfield..

 

[kawaii_elle]

Lestat from Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles - he's so bratty and conceited, i love him.
Bridget Jones
the main character in Nick Hornby's High Fidelity, i don't remember his name right now

 

[Josephine]

I have always loved Hercule Poirot - the detective in many of Agatha Christie's books

gunner myrdal from the white boy shuffle
kerewin holmes from the bone people
sethe from beloved
jane eyre
antoinette cosway from wide sargasso sea (interestingly connected to the above)
shug avery from the color purple
