Three Characters Meme

Nick at Literary Compass has tagged me with the Three Characters Meme. It goes like this:

Name up to three characters...

1. ...you wish were real so you could meet them:

  • Jane Eyre
  • Fitzwilliam Darcy
  • Fanny Price (just to see how she manages to be so meek)

2. ...you would like to be:

  • Jane Eyre
  • Elizabeth Darcy (née Bennet)
  • Anne Wentworth (née Elliot)

3. ...who scare you:

  • Bertha Mason
  • The Nazgûl
  • Mrs. Danvers

This was actually a hard meme for me. I guess I don't think of literary characters in such a personal, interactive way. It doesn't occur to me to put myself into a story, which probably means I am at low risk of developing Manchegan Madness. Whew!

As for who's "it," I tag Imani (The Books of My Numberless Dreams), Stefanie (So Many Books,) and Wil (Moyen Âge).
