Favorite Character in a Book
Male
Hmm...is it Fitzwilliam Darcy, “In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.”?
Or...
Either way I win, right?
I am only slightly ashamed that I picked the male character for the 'swoon factor' and I'm picking the female character for her mind...
The March sisters are the first characters my sisters and I ever fell in love with and they are perfect. We'd sometimes pretend that we were the March sisters (minus Meg...we didn't really relate to Meg). I was Jo (and, frankly, in a lot of ways still am) and my two sisters were Beth and Amy, respectively. I have always identified with Jo, and in turn, Louisa May Alcott. I just love these ladies soooo much!
We watched this on video disc. We watched it a lot. The story ends when Beth gets sick, so I spent most of the 80s not knowing the whole story, but I love this...we also watched the Japanese version of The Wizard of Oz. It had singing. What can I say? |
Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy and Marmee...sigh... |

I love Mr. Darcy and Mark Darcy (although I must confesss, I haven't read Bridget Jones' Diary). It doesn't hurt that Colin Firth played them both on screen.
ReplyDeletei totally agree...doesn't. hurt. at. all. oh and read BRIDGET JONES' it's pretty hilarious, but if don't have time, watch the movie. it's pretty close to the book, although there's a whole character and subsequent scenes with that character that are taken out entirely.
