Books have been an important part of life. Some of my favorite fictional characters, who have influenced/inspired/invigorated me to a great deal have been listed below. I have gotten so involved in their lives while reading the books that I have forgotten my own.
Scarlett O'Hara - A definition for optimism. The never say die woman, not perfect, but possessing a lot of strength.
Tracy Whitney - Another one for strength, courage and smarts.
Howard Roark - Believed in his convictions.
Wooster and Bingo Little - funny dudes
Dumbledore - basically, the likeable old guy. The grandfather figure.
Samwise Gamgee - loyal like Hanuman :-)
Elizabeth Bennett - No pretense in the land of pretensions
Atticus Finch - Good samaritan and a good father
Sirius Black - the underdog, unlucky fella, true friend
Hercule Poirot - for his grey cells
You got favorites?
