Which fictional character do you identify with?

Different characters for different stages of my life. Sometimes I've identified with Coleman from Roth's "Human Stain", because I wasn't really one thing or another. Like him, I avoided choices, until one chose me. I've identified with Sabina from Kundera's "Unbearable Lightness of Being" in a similarity in thinking about men and marriage, in the past. Often lines from Hardy's "Tess' come to mind when, like her, I think "We're all like characters in a book and everything has already been said and done many times before" (paraphrase). Something of a cynic, on occasion. And then there are my core three: Stoker's Dracula, Aeschylus' furies, and Carroll's Red Queen.

Well, I know you said "characters from literature" and this character is from a TV series but the actors did have to read from a script so that can count as “written works”, right?

Actually there were books written based on the show and the characters so this character is from some literature to…

Well I don’t think you, Falco, liked this character very much, or did you? I think you liked her more in series 4, if I’m remember correctly some of the things I’ve seen you say on yahoo answers… but I think the character that I can identify with the most is Martha Jones (from Doctor Who). I really connected to that character emotionally. I thought she was great in series 3. It was her story in series 3 that is what I could identify with.

That's a very hard question to really answer properly... I tend to read more biographies than fiction. I'd love to say something quick and immediate, but I am different people to ...err different people [shrugs].

At work, I am intense; much like the calculating and certain-of-herself "grown-up" version of Scarlett O'Hara

At play, with my best friend? Loud, brassy and brilliantly irrepressable - C.C. from Beaches. (if permitted as the original question asked which fictional character, only in the body does it say it has to be from "literature".) or maybe Fanny Brice (I know, she was a real-life person)

At my most creative? The young and willful Scarlett. I put on blinders and must do things my way until it's done to my absolute satisfaction.

With my husband? He'd have to decide that one... Good answer! I wish I'd thought of Bree. Heck, blend Bree, Susan and Monica up and that's near enough for me!

Cheers

H. Rider Haggard's Eric Brighteyes

Quite simply, I go clever and intend to lose much in the going. I do not rush as the Berserker nor completely use unfitting tact as the Viking, and inbetweener who would still not go down without a fight for value and for love.

Haggard is better known for the character Allan Quatermain and that is a good character too but I was fond of this story, a little offbeat from Haggard's typical Zulu affairs...

I don't generally do favorite though and can see a bit in other characters by Heinlein, BUrroughs, Poe, Chaucer, and, of course, King...

It depends on what kind of mood I'm in. Sometimes Mary Yellan from Jamaica Inn--when I'm feeling adventurous or a strange man is following me around. Frequently Georgia Nicholson from the books by Louise Rennison (though I'm not sure if that can be actual literature...haha) when I'm spazzing out or having silly problems with hair or guys. And occasionally, I can relate to Jean-Baptiste Grenouille from Perfume by Patrick Suskind (if you haven't read it do so urgently). That's when I'm feeling angry, or lost, or like I need someone to love or just want to rip someone's head off and scream. Or basically anyone from an Edgar Allan Poe tale.

Margaret Lea from The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield. I completely understand the relationship with her mother, and I also find solitude and escape with books.

I also identify with Jo March from Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. Coming from a family of 4 girls, I could relate to the relationships she had with her sisters and the reasons behind the things she did (even the not-so-nice things she did).

Josephine Alibrandi from Looking for Alibrandi, because we grew up in two different cultures side-by-side. She does well in school, like me, and despite bad circumstances, still thinks life is worth living.

I also always liked Anne Shirley. I remember naming trees because Anne did in the first book, lols. Plus we pretend a lot of things.

And I think I am a lot like Elizabeth Bennet, because we are both second daughters and slightly judgemental.

Calvin from the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip.

I still essentially have kept my child's mind fairly intact and really appreciate the logic with which Calvin views the world, whilst at the same time keeping a massive sense of fun about life.

1.) Hermione Granger (from Harry Potter by JK Rowling)--I am sometimes a know-it-all

2.) Luna Lovegood (Harry Potter by JK Rowling)--I am smart but a complete airhead

3.) Renn (from Wolf Brother by Michelle Paver)--I am good at keeping wimpy people on their feet, and sometimes hide my emotions from friends.

4.) Sapphire (from Ingo series by Helen Dunmore)--I love the sea:)

5.) Kate (from My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult)--I have been very ill throughout my life, making my siblings a bit scarred and resentful:(

6.) Klaus Baudelaire (from A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket)--I LOVE reading

7.) Violet Baudelaire (from A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket)--I am the oldest and feel quite responsible for my siblings although not ready for a lot of challenges

8.) Susan Pevensie (from The Chronicles of Narnia by CS Lewis)--I am the oldest and don't like disputes among us three siblings

9.) Ginny Weasley and Lily Evans/Potter (from HP by JKR)--I am a fiery redhead

10.) Anne Shirley (from Anne of Green Gables by LM Montgomery)--I am a fiery, smart, complex, odd little green eyed, freckly girl.

I identify with Laura from The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams because I am extremely shy, living in my own dream world and hoping that the strange, handsome gentleman who came to dinner and paid attention to me would fall madly in love with me and fly me to the moon.
