Liking/bonding with authors & characters (was “Hawthorne … Trollope &c)

Ellen Moody All Messages By This Member #5326 How revealing that you connect most closely with Fanny Price than any other literary figure. When I say Elinor Dashwood is my favorite of Austen’s heroines, she is also among the literary figures I feel closer to than any other.i know I don’t like recent & fashionable books or like them less than older ones because most of the time I can’t identify with their contemporary heroine.. I often bond with historical fiction heroines, so Catherine Fraser as played by Catriona Balfe, Harriet Vane in Sayers’ books and as played by Harriet Walter, in Trollope Madame Max. Authors Margaret Foster, Margaret Atwood, Claire Tomalin.

Of course, when I was younger I wanted some of the adventures of the heroines. My first dream of fictional characters was to have 3 sets of twins like the Bobbsey twins. When my first child was born, I gave thanks that I didn't have twins. I like Emily Dickinson as a poet.

I have to say I can't think of any one author where I'm at home; I feel kindred spirits with a woman writer now and again or imagined woman character, but there are too many real differences.
