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. This post has been edited by Monokuro Boo.: Feb 26 2007, 10:13 PM |

I looooove Holden Caulfield (Catcher in the Rye), Bernard Marx (Brave New World), Hermione Granger (Harry Potter), Zooey Glass (Franny and Zooey), and Kilgore Trout (most Kurt Vonnegut books).
I also dislike Abigail Williams. Ugh. And I don't like Rosasharn Joad (Grapes of Wrath) or Jurgis Rudkus (The Jungle). |

I love Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird, and Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings series. Something about Gatsby in The Great Gatsby and Holden in The Catcher in the Rye makes me love them. I can't think of any characters I actually hate...

 *Ivar Devorast (Watercourse trilogy) I love his attitude! It's so confident and strong! Plus he's a total hottie.  *Leif (Deltora series) I like him alot too. He's smart, yet sort of childish, and he's brave and clever and strong and....just a great character. *Jasmine (Deltora series) She's awsome! She's smart, aigile, funny. I just love her whole character. She's really cool. *Remus Lupin (Harry potter) He's my fav teacher. I wuv him. *Edward Cullen (Twilight) I wuv him too!! He's......enchanting. *Rowan (Rowan of Rin series) He's so shy and cute, but he turns out to be the bravest one of all. Who doesn't love that?  *Sable Keech (The Skinner) He's an awsome character too! He's smart, and he's so interesting. I love his history and his life. He's awsome too! *Moby Dick (Moby Dick) Now that is a sweet whale! Hates  *Willem Korvan (Water course trilogy) He's such a......Dork. I hate him. *Rebecca Frisk (The Skinner) What an insane biotch.  *Malfoy (Harry Potter) I'm getting bored with his "Potter!" thing. |

umm... from Emma by Jane Austen... I hate emma's friend, the one that she's always trying to hook up with someone. I forgot her name. I think it was Harriet.
I also hated that ring-leader girl in A Great and Terrible Beauty. She was freaky... Killing the deer and all. I love Edward Cullen from Twilight and Wes from The Truth About Forever. |

Guy is a prick and a half, I'm telling you. If he had just got ON WITH IT, none of the mass killing would have been necessary. NOTHING redeeming to say about him. |
