It actually took me a while to come up with the list. It took a few times to narrow it down to these three.<br /><br />@Melissa: Sorry to add another hour to your list of shows to watch, but I don't think you'll be disappointed. I'm glad I wasn't the only one that felt this way about Humbert.<br /><br />@Sweta: I love Jo! I will never understand why Alcott chose to split her and Laurie up. I like Bhaer and all, but it still wasn't 100% satisfying for me.<br /><br />@Kittie: Thank you for the compliment, I think "lovely" is one of the prettiest words in the English language. Looking forward to getting to know you!<br /><br />@Faith: I hope it wasn't too confusing for you! Hopefully I've triggered something for you. Don't feel bad about being Austen-less, I have several friends who are, and I still speak to them! :)<br /><br />@Jen: Isn't Lizzie great? Every time I read/watch her, I strive to become more clever and witty. Maybe it'll sink in for good one day!Witless Expositionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07455282931743006892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951016553704108326.post-55985318103186114512010-09-25T16:58:03.969-05:002010-09-25T16:58:03.969-05:00You are SO RIGHT about Elizabeth Bennett.

These are interesting examples, though I can't entirely relate as I've never read any Jane Austen (gasp, I know), haven't read Lolita, or watched House. BUT... now I feel a little bit more familiar with their characters, so thanks for the character study!Faithhttp://www.boughanfire.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951016553704108326.post-8132942400721254362010-09-25T11:48:11.316-05:002010-09-25T11:48:11.316-05:00Hi, I'm dropping in from the blog fest.

Though this isn't always the case, in general it's something writers should always keep in mind when developing the characters.<br /><br />You used excellent examples to demonstrate qualities of a compelling character.Angela McCallisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10610798614001745001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951016553704108326.post-78253779471342152642010-09-24T19:24:38.793-05:002010-09-24T19:24:38.793-05:00Great examples!
