Favourite female characters?
I have a drama based English lit exam and I can't choose. Thinking along the lines of Gloria Gilbert and Marla Singer

If you had balls, you'd do Myrna Mirkoff and take everything in the book completely seriously, write as if you admired her and Ignatius Reilly.

Easy pickings for an analysis of a female character would be Hedda Gabler, or Yerma.

Lady Macbeth for the win.

If you've really got guts, do Mrs. Bennet from Pride and Prejudice. Defend her as being a good mother, trying to do what is realistically best for her daughters.

Yeah and I bet Ayn Rand is your favourite philosopher too. Yuck.

Why would you choose Gloria Gilbert?

Anthony was the better character in that book anyways.

And he still wasn't as cool as Maury.

>> No.3080299

i respect Edna Pontellier from The Awakening the most

Daisy Miller is a pretty close second, though for entirely different reasons.

This. She was only trying to deliver unto herself nemesis and peace.
What's so bad about that.

Galadriel. (Make sure to read both the Silmarillion and LOTR, in that order.)

Also, her husband's true name is Teleporno. True story, no joke.
