Odysseus is the kind of man I wish I could be. Intelligent, strong and beloved for his deeds and his virtues. Even though he suffers horribly he still pushes on, and in the face of temptation he will still choose his home and family, which is inherently tied to responsibility, work, suffering and ultimately death. He could have been an immortal getting divine unaging pussy forever, but he chose to live as a man with the glory and misery that follows it rather than as a god in an island of pleasure.

Don Quixote is a good pick too, because I envy his passion, his wisdom and the romantic spirit that he possesses.

>Levin is the only character I like

I think you should. Levin's story is really nice as far as I remember. I approached the book thinking it was about Anna since the title is Anna Karenina, but I found that Levin is a more interesting character.

Sir Terry Pratchett who upon being knighted for services to literature said he was only awarded it because his service was not actually writing any literature. Also once he was knighted he went about finding a meteorite and smelting it into some ore and forged his own sword because what is a knight without a sword?

Agreed. Women who read this book take her as some sort of feminist hero. In reality she was seduced by a Chad who she then decided to run away with-- thus ruining the lives of many people and even her own child. She's worthy of both pity and reproach.

>Women who read this book take her as some sort of feminist hero
It’s amazing that someone could read the same book as me and come away with such a radically different interpretation. I assume their moral compass is fucked though

Yeah it's crazy. They think Anna is some hero because she slept with more than one guy and wasn't willing to be "tied down" through marriage. They call what subsequently follows (the ruined lives of pretty much everyone) "the destructive power of love". I cannot imagine a more brainlet idea.

>>13775462
Yeah I like Alyosha as well. But I don't think I could ever be so pure. (Same applies to Myshkin I guess)
