Jack Torrance, L Lawliet, Beyond Birthday, Sherlock Holmes...

Dexter Jones & Remy Starr.
Annabel Green.
Fred & George Weasley.
Sirius Black.
Lara Lington.
Alaska Young.
Quentin Jacobsen.
Angela Clark.

all for a million different reasons.

Jay Gatsby in The Great Gatsby. I can just never seem to get his character out of my head after I re-read the book.

I'm going with Jane Eyre. The things she went through and the strength she has despite been cast as a timid character at first glance. Also because of the time in which the story was written gives even more power to her actions because she so went against what was expected of women.

I also love;
- Desdemona from Othello for her innocence & ability to believe the best in people.
- Rosalind from As You Like It for her wit.
- Prince Hal/Henry V. Although he's not a fictional character I'm including him because this is written in first person & some parts are fictional. In Good King Harry you get to see him progress from young prince living in the shadow of his brothers and rebelling, to conquering king.
- Chris Chambers from The Body. No explanation needed?
- Andy Dufresne & Red from Shawshank Redemption. It still makes me laugh that Red was played by Morgan Freeman, but I can't imagine the movie version without his melodic narration now haha.
- The majority of the characters in To Kill A Mockingbird.

This list could keep growing! :)

Haymitch Abernathy. That man is so special.
