FEMALE:
1. Scout Finch in "To Kill A Mockingbird" (by Harper Lee), who is one of the most honestly written child characters in the history of literature.
2. Melinda Sordino in "Speak" (by Laurie Halse Anderson), a funny, true, believable character - what happened to her totally broke my heart.
3. Daisy in "How I Live Now" (by Meg Rosoff) - funny, fresh, and totally, totally real.
4. Anna Fitzgerald in "My Sister's Keeper" (by Jodi Picoult), who is both old and young; mortal and immortal. The ending will have you in floods of tears.
5. Dolories / Dolly / Lolita in "Lolita" (by Vladimir Nabokov), she could have been a caricature of a character, but Nabokov's amazing writing pulls her off in every way.
6. Lady MacBeth in "MacBeth (by Shakespeare), she became a female literacy legend for a very good reason.
7. Esther Greennwood in "The Bell Jar" (by Sylvia Plath), who is controversial, a tour-de-force and as I mentioned with Anna Fitzgerald previously, mortal and immortal.
MALE:
1. Holden Caulfield in "The Catcher in the Rye" (by J.D. Salinger), perhaps an obvious choice but a natural, must-put-on-there choice. This is a repeated phrase on this list, but he is funny, true and believable. I love the way Salinger hints at what is happening to him without ever spelling it out.
2. Atticus Finch in "To Kill A Mockingbird" (by Harper Lee), because he stuck up and defied the town for what he believed in; he is strong and such a good role model.
3. "Humbert Humbert" in "Lolita" (by Vladimir Nabokov) - as I read somewhere: going to hell in a handcart in his company would always be worth the ride. Poor, doomed, lovesick Humbert Humbert; has there ever been a lovelorn, insane padophile we have sympathised with more?
4. Hamlet in "Hamlet" (by Shakespeare) he may have been foolish in some choices, but he was doing it for all the right reasons and everyone has to sympathise with the three dimensions he is painted in so effortlessly.
5 The Second Person Narrators in "The Virgin Suicides" (by Jeffrey Eugenides) - there are very few novels that successfully pull off the second person, and in my opinion, this is one of those few. A rare glance into the heated, oppressive lives of teenage individuals; a shutter into their love-ridden, half-destroyed lives, that is opened ashamedly and brutally, and snapped shut far too quickly; an interesting look as how it is for those who do not live and those who must keep on living.
