Who is your favourite character in a novel and why?

Question

I would say Heathcliff except so many already admire or fancy him and therefore I opt for Scaramouche (written by Rafael Sabatini).The novel has a memorable opening line: "He was born with the gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad."

Answer 1

Hercule Poirot!!! I'm 13 and a HUGE Agatha Christie fan. Not really sure why though. Maybe because he always goes on about how everything has to be perfectly symmetrical and 'the little grey cells' will not fail him. Miss Marple comes a very close second!

Answer 2

Well you have given excellent characters so I will not repeat them and give instead Jane Eyre. There was a great narrative style that first person one saw inside Jane's mind as she left the only home she had ever known, a cold impersonal world for the unfortunates, abandoned in the world...To the imperious manor of Rochester. She describes him, deliciously, the haunted quality within those tormented eyes as if the storm were part and parcel of himself. I think most special made this novel that women were not writing much those days and how fascinating that two sisters should write 'the novel', of their period.

Answer 3

I liked Heathcliff because of how Catherine (that's her name, right?) didn't marry him so he went away and mysteriously turned up again richer, stronger and with a different personality and still pursued her. But the entire plot in that story (Wuthering Heights) was crazy. It was just about he likes her but she doesn't like him because he is poor so she marries someone else but still romances with him and it goes on like that and just gets more complicated and messed up until Heathcliff dies and the new generation fixes everything. It has no interesting plot except for how at the end everything is all right and calm again with the girl and boy after all the turmoil the previous generation caused. I disliked the storyline but I liked Heathcliff as a character. Actually I dislike romances in general except for "Jane Eyre", which I loved. So yes, there at the beginning I answered your question about why I liked Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights. I picked that book because you mentioned it anyway, other wise there would be way to large a selection of favorite character for me to talk about and I would be typing all night.

I also love Remus Lupin and Sirius Black in Harry Potter becuse they are 'cool'. Remus Lupin is a werewolf and Sirius Black can turn into a dog at will and I like wolves and dogs. I also like how you think Sirius is evil and Lupin is normal untill the end of book three and then you find every thing out in about one chapter. I also like how thier names relate to them "Sirius" is a name of a dog and "Lupin" means wolf (in latin, I think) and "Remus" comes fron greek mythology.

Answer 4

i might ought to declare Richie Tozier, from Stephen King's IT. i'm an avid reader, and there've been many characters over the years who i've got customary and enjoyed, yet using sheer length of that novel (i think of it is around a million, 2 hundred pages), to not point out King's writing skill, each and every of the characters, exceedingly the optimum ones, are somewhat stepped forward. they are life like, so of course none of them are suitable, yet you particularly get a experience for why they do the flaws they do, what it is prefer to BE them, so as that no remember how fictional they are they experience like genuine human beings to you! that's precisely why I study, to get that style of journey. ok. decrease back on subject remember. As i replaced into asserting, Richie Tozier is my widespread character. Why? he's hilarious, desirable (each and every each and every now and then exhaustingly so, i will admit), perceptive, delicate at cases--only all-around surprising, you recognize? this style of individual you desire replaced into genuine so which you ought to befriend them. As for the e book? it is surprising, too. the complication-unfastened premise: Seven human beings acquire telephone calls telling them to return to Derry, Maine in accordance with a promise they made twenty seven years formerly. decrease back then, whilst they have been young ones, that they had got here across, battled, and supposedly defeated a creature customary purely as "IT," an historic being that preyed off of the city's babies and ought to purely be considered by making use of babies. They swore to return decrease back if It resurfaced, and now It has, and that they should attempt to defeat It for a 2d time inspite of forgetting each and every thing that for the time of the previous passed off, a minimum of till they gained the call. I won't circulate into any extra factor on the plot right here (does not prefer to break it for you), yet you get the image. warning: (This in all opportunities are high high not neccessary, using fact the author is Stephen King)...maximum evaluate this a horror e book, whether i found it to be lots extra desirable than that and not very frightening in any respect. It includes *plenty* of profanity, and a few show scenes as properly. nevertheless, this is coming from a 15 12 months previous female who dealt with it large... and if i ought to, you are able to. besides, desire I helped. Sorry concerning the essay =)

Answer 5

I have more than one favourite, but among them are Dr. Doolittle because those books were so advanced for their time - how wonderful to have a wise and gentle doctor pioneer Animal Rights in that way! They inspired me when I was a child.
And also Fagan, from Oliver Twist. A sleazy. wheezy scoundrel with a heart of gold ... amazing that anyone that basically unattractive could have such charisma and still be evoking sympathy, more than a hundred years later! Love him, with all his flaws.

Answer 6

Liu Bei from Romance of The Three Kingdoms.

Some of you many not be familiar with the novel. It's very popular in China.

Liu Bei is the epitome of everything a man should be.

Loyal, Honorable, Righteous. You name it.

Answer 7

Julius Caesar > He accomplished so damn much > Conn Iggulden's Emperor Series is a great read on Julius, right from a young boy to that bad day at the office that ended things for him.

Answer 8

I would say Orry Main,portrayed by
(Patrick Swazey) in the made for TV minnie series based on the novel (NORTH AND SOUTH). Why,because he had so much self respect,and honor,and a great sense of family ties,that no one could break.

Answer 9

My favorite character in a novel is Scarlett O'Hara. She embodies the very essence of women. She is innocently flirtatious, yet flamboyantly sexual. Scarlett endures, she never gives up; just as women of every generation, she goes on. Even in her darkest hours, Scarlett does not accept defeat, nor does she surrender.

Answer 10

Jack Ryan from Tom Clancy's. Because of his honesty, integrity and dedication in the America's politics and actually make it to the top although much is contributed to luck.
