Welcome To My Authors Cove
-
I am a writer of many different styles, though my work consists mostly of
short stories, poetry, reviews and articles. During your stay in my cove,
you wil...
My favourite literary character? It is impossible to choose just one out
of so many brilliant creations. Each character I adore has their very
own ways, styles and whatnot. It would be daft to pick just one of them
to stand above the others, and because of this I have decided on three.
One for each period of time more or less, though I could be completely
wrong.
Heathcliff
I do not think a list of my favourite literary characters would ever
feel complete if it did not include Heathcliff. There is so much to like
about this particular character that it's difficult to point out
everything, but I shall narrow it down. His ongoing and evergrowing love
for Catherine is just one point. The way in which he strives all of the
time to win her heart back once he loses it to another man whom she
only thinks she has fallen for. It was nothing but a poor fancy,
according to Heathcliff. He is a character that most will show hatred
toward eventually, about midway through the book, but soon realise he is
a very loving, caring and misunderstood human being who deserves the
love he longs for.
Lestat
As with my thoughts on the above character, no list would be complete
without the great Lestat. He is just a vampire you can't help but love,
no matter his evil ways. It just so happens that he was not always the
vicious fiend he is portrayed to be throughout further books. If one
would read the beginning of it all, from the first moment it happened,
they could understand him a little more. After reading The Vampire
Lestat, before following his journey in other books, you are shown the
kind of man he once was and how loving and caring he was still, even
after he had been born into a new life through no choice of his own.
Lestat, is also misunderstood.
Sirius
People should know who this character is without having to read his
surname, but if you still haven't a clue, think Hogwarts. That clue
alone should help determine who this man is. With this character, it is a
love for his mischievous ways, as much as it is a love for his
adoration and commitment toward his godson. After his release since
being blamed for a crime he did not commit, he develops a bond with the
boy who lost his parents many years ago, and is now the only family he
has left. Sirius is there as much as he can be for him, but fate turns
the tables on them both, with Sirius losing his life and his godson, and
his godson losing the only family he has left.
I want to know who your favourite literary characters are. If they have
been in movies, that is acceptable, so long as they were in books prior
to their success elsewhere. So, do you have one favourite, or many, and
who are they?
