If you could be a character from any book, who would you be? And why?
If I take classic literature, I would like to be Jane Eyre. She was a very strong character. She knew her mind and despite her station, knew to stand up for her rights. In her time, not many did that. I admire her for that.
If I consider, recent characters, I would like to be Lisbeth Salander. I admire her for her spirit, her intelligence, her independence.
Both have similarities but so much different. For obvious reasons, circumstances, time period and so much more.
Oh, I haven't read Jane but need to. I think Lisbeth is going to be a popular one, today. ;O)
ReplyDeleteThose are both great picks!
ReplyDeleteGreat picks. Lisbeth is really something!
ReplyDeleteJust finished reading "Cutting for Stone" by Abraham Verghese and that makes me want to be Hema...an Indian doctor, working in Ethiopia. A strong and loving woman, self-forgetful and a bit feisty. Enjoy your blogs, gautami.
ReplyDeleteJane's a great pic, although she led a pretty tough life. She's strong and I wish I had a bit more of that!
