characters that you love/hate Options

[sprezzatura]

Which characters from the books you have read do you love or root for...or those that you hate so much that you wish they die?

Love :
-Jim (Huck Finn) He's faithful and loyal, he is more of a protagonist than Huck, IMO.
-John Proctor (The Crucible) Sure it's his fault for his adultery, but I think he doesn't deserve to be hanged.
-Johnny (The Outsiders) "STAY GOLD." I loved that phrase.
-Ponyboy (The Outsiders) I just do like him.

Hate :
-Abigail Williams (The Crucible) I hate how she acts like she is so innocent, I hate that she hits on John Proctor, I hate that she is causing the mass hysteria, especially in the scene when all the girls just screamed like crazy.
-Walter Lee Younger (A Raisin in the Sun) Yeah, he got a little better at the end, but he is still a jerk.
-Roger Chillingworth (The Scarlet Letter) He is just plainly evil.
-Arthur Dimmesdale (The Scarlet Letter) He needs guts, seriously.
-Napoleon (Animal Farm) Ahh, dictators...
-Wu Tsing (The Joy Luck Club) One word: Perverted.

I would edit the list later when I could think of more.

1. Faramir and Eoywm - I should list them separately, but I figure why not pimp out my favorite couple, EVER. Both were ridiculously short changed in the LOTR films. If you want to read about two amazing characters, read or reread The Two Towers.
2. Albus Dumbledore - The heart and soul of the HP series, in my opinion
3. Mr. Knightley - The only character Jane Austen has written that I actually like.

1. Dorian Gray - He embodies everything I hate about people.
2. Arthur Dimmesdale - For pete's sake, if they guy would have grown some balls, he would have spared us from having to read The Scarlet Letter in the first place.
3. Peter Pettigrew - There isn't one thing about this character that is sympathetic. Not ONE thing.

I have a great deal more, but those are just off the top of my head.
