Favourite Characters
Do you have an overall favourite character in fiction? I have too many to count!
The characters that stand out the most for me are those who are unpromising at the start of the story and end up being heroes by the end of it.
A hobbit is an unlikely adventurer but look what Tolkien did with his characters in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
I am also fond of characters who need redemption and find it. I also like stories where justice is seen to be done and in the right way. (I am not keen on the vengeance type of tale as you just know the character is likely to go too far with it).
I like characters I can understand even if I don’t agree with their attitudes and actions.
One of my favourite characters is Severus Snape from the Harry Potter series as there is so much depth to his portrayal which is revealed over the seven novels.
So over to you then. Which are your favourite kinds of character and why?
