dracula bottom. in a group with mrs. twit. okay then.

Locke. 20-06-2011 12:21 AM

I have read the twits :nono:

Shaun 20-06-2011 12:22 AM

so only the ones you've read should stand a chance of winning

Locke. 20-06-2011 12:23 AM

If I've read the book the character is in, them I'm obviously more likely to place them higher than characters from books that I haven't read. Unless I didn't like the character.

Fair point.

Shaun 20-06-2011 12:40 AM

that's taking on a mantle that they're inherently better though, which they aren't necessarily. Even the most basic awareness of the legend of Dracula should suggest that he might, just might, have had more of an impact than Mrs. Twit.

:nono: You ranked Moonface last and have never read the book. One of the greatest childhood characters from literature.

Locke. 20-06-2011 12:42 AM

I'm not interested in dracula's, vampires, werewolves, or any of that crap. Dracula should be satisfied with 1 point

Well unless you read the book you won't know. But each to their own. Locke prefers Mrs Twit to Dracula, we all have our faves in literature.

Group E:
Antoinette Cosway, Wide Sargasso Sea (Jean Rhys)
There is no looking glass here and I don't know what I am like now. I remember watching myself brush my hair and how my eyes looked back at me. The girl I saw was myself yet not quite myself. Long ago when I was a child and very lonely I tried to kiss her. But the glass was between us—hard, cold and misted over with my breath. Now they have taken everything away. What am I doing in this place and who am I?
Jane Eyre (Charlotte Brontė)
If people were always kind and obedient to those who are cruel and unjust; the wicked people would have it all their own way: they would never feel afraid, and so they would never alter, but would grow worse and worse. When we are struck at without a reason, we should strike back again very hard; I am sure we should — so hard as to teach the person who struck us never to do it again.
Slim, Of Mice and Men (John Steinbeck)
"Never you mind. A guy got to sometimes"
Aragorn (J.R.R. Tolkien)
And yet less thanks have we than you. Travellers scowl at us, and countrymen give us scornful names. 'Strider' I am to one fat man who lives within a day's march of foes that would freeze his heart or lay his little town in ruin, if he were not guarded ceaselessly. Yet we would not have it otherwise. If simple folk are free from care and fear, simple they will be, and we must be kept secret to keep them so.
Tybalt, Romeo + Juliet (William Shakespeare)
Tybalt: What, art thou drawn among these hartless hinds?
Turn thee, Benvolio; look upon thy death.
Benvolio: I do but keep the peace: put up thy sword,
Or manage it to part these men with me.
Tybalt: What, drawn, and talk of peace! I hate the word,
As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee.
Have at thee, coward!

Ebenezer Scrooge, A Christmas Carol (Charles Dickens)
"If they would rather die," said Scrooge, "they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population."
Callum McGregor - Noughts & Crosses series (Malorie Blackman)
"I love you too."
Rosalind, As You Like It (William Shakespeare)
But mistress, know yourself; down on your knees,
And thank Heaven, fasting, for a good man’s love:
For I must tell you friendly in your ear, —
Sell while you can; you are not for all markets.

Lucy Pevensie, The Chronicles of Narnia (C.S. Lewis)
"I've felt for hours that there was some wonderful mystery hanging over this place."
Gran, The Magic Key (series by Roderick Hunt)
Surprisingly, quotes for this bitch are hard to find.
Edward Rochester, Jane Eyre (Charlotte Brontė)
I envy your peace of mind, your clean conscience, your unpolluted memory. Little girl, a memory without blot or contamination must be an exquisite treasure — an inexhaustible source of pure refreshment: is it not?
Severus Snape Harry Potter series (J.K. Rowling)
Fools who wear their hearts proudly on their sleeves, who cannot control their emotions, who wallow in sad memories and allow themselves to be provoked so easily - weak people in other words-...
Lady Macbeth, Macbeth (William Shakespeare)
I have given suck, and know
How tender 'tis to love the babe that milks me:
I would, while it was smiling in my face,
Have pluck'd my nipple from his boneless gums,
And dash'd the brains out, had I so sworn
As you have done to this.
