What literary character are you most like?

[vampiredust]

(This can be from any play, novel, poem, story etc)

I'd say Prufrock. I'm lonely as him and am slowly starting to resemble how he looks

 

[Liar]

On a good day, I got a streak of Pooh.

On another kind of good day, it's Puck.

 

[ABSTRUSE]

(This can be from any play, novel, poem, story etc)

I'd say Prufrock. I'm lonely as him and am slowly starting to resemble how he looks

My fav poem and character.

I'm with Liar, somedays I'm Pooh and pondering or just being.

Somedays its Medea....crazy mom.

 

[Vermilion]

Eeyore?

I don;t know... maybe Shirley...?

[Caroline Covington]

Katya, from Chekov's "A Boring Story". She is a mediocrity; I can relate, lol. This story also happens to be one of my all time favourites.

 

[Athena_e19]

Pearl from Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter.

I know a little too much for my own good, and often forget that letting on that I know is not either kind or sensitive.

I'm twisted, and a bitch. But not a twisted bitch.

Bertie Wooster, suffering from a terrible lack of Jeeves
(and a similar lack of all that ever-so-edifying money

 

[Jenny_Jackson]

Anna Karenina

 

[Remec]

(This can be from any play, novel, poem, story etc)

Thomas Covenant,

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

Rumple Foreskin

 

[champagne1982]

"I am the Lorax! I speak for the trees..."

TY Dr Seuss

 

[Chantilyvamp]

Desdemona from Othello. Though some days like some above..puck might fit!

 

[elfin_odalisque]

On the really good days it's Tigger, I often wish it was Elizabeth Bennett - usually it's Mrs Toad washerwoman.

 

[MagicaPractica]

Miss Havisham? No, wait, somebody did ask her to marry him at one point. I'm going to have to go with Ophelia.

 

[Vermilion]

On the really good days it's Tigger, I often wish it was Elizabeth Bennett - usually it's Mrs Toad washerwoman.

I dunno - sentamentalised as she is in the films I think Austen's Elizabeth Bennet is actually quite spoilt and immature. I'm not sure it'd be a good thing to find yourself similar to her...

[Boadicea]

No, Jane Austen's EMMA was spoiled and immature. Elizabeth Bennett was only spoiled insofar her parents didn't force her to conform to the standards of the time.

If were to pick a literary character, I'd probably be a cross between Elizabeth Bennett and Katharine of Taming of the Shrew, with a side of Cassandra of Troy from Marion Zimmer Bradley's The Firebrand.

Thomas Covenant,

Good God. Do you really feel like a leper destined to save a world that you're not sure even exists?

 

[3113]

Anna Karenina

Are you going to throw yourself in front of a train?

 

[3113]

I'm going to have to go with Ophelia.

Anna Karenina, Desdemona, Ophilia...lots of suicidal women here. Though, frankly, Desdemona just let herself be killed, she didn't actually smother herself....

 

[MagicaPractica]

Anna Karenina, Desdemona, Ophilia...lots of suicidal women here. Though, frankly, Desdemona just let herself be killed, she didn't actually smother herself....

And it's all because of men.

ETA: Perhaps I should qualify, I'm most like Ophelia at the point in the play where she is incredibly confused and frustrated. Not at the suicidal part. No.

 

[Stella_Omega]

For what reason I am not sure I can comprehend, the alleyways of wit and reason often lead me in ever-twisting roads till my poor mind is mazed and wearied. To add the insult to the injury, the outwardly effect is that I rarely know a hawk from a handbrake, or, indeed my own arse from my elbow. Yet, I can at least point to a precedent, my great literary forbearer; Tristam Shandy.

Have you been driven crazy yet? 'Cause you know, there are drugs that can help. You don't have to wander about in your nightgown playing the lute and singing sad/dirty songs.

 

[3113]

(This can be from any play, novel, poem, story etc)

I'm the Fool from King Lear.

 

[Jenny_Jackson]

Are you going to throw yourself in front of a train?

Probably. Especially if I keep drinking Irish Whiskey.

 

[Remec]

Good God. Do you really feel like a leper destined to save a world that you're not sure even exists?

All the world is merely a dream designed to test my sanity and self-esteem/selfpreservation skills. (The leper part is just symbolic of my seperation from the rest of humanity. The whole 'alone in a crowd' sort of cliche, if you will.)
