Character Friends

8 Comments

Do you ever find characters from different books that personality-wise share things in common? Characters that, if given the chance, could become friends?

Yes, I know these people aren’t real, but somehow imagining them befriending other character feels possible.

If I could, I’d introduce Francie Nolan to Mattie Gokey and Elisa Cantor.

  

 

 

 

 

Maybe this girl too:

What characters can you imagine as friends?

    I have a number of historical soul mates, and I wonder if I would actually get along with them in real life. I suspect the same question is true for story book characters. But in my fantasy land, I’m going to pair Jeeves with Poirot and see who would win.

    That’s awesome! I think of characters as real people too, but I don’t tend to lump them in across books. Unless I’m reading so much I get the books confused, like I did this past week. 🙂

    Confession: I’ve never read any Jeeves books. I know, a shame. If he’d make a good friend for Poirot, that’s another reason I need to get reading.

    You know, I just finished DELIRIUM last night, and I thought Hana was such a wonderful friend. I’d like to be tight with her!!

    The kid from MEXICAN WHITE BOY was so real to me. After reading the book, I caught myself googling his name to see if he’d actually made it as a big league baseball player. And then I was like, “Duh! That was a book!” I don’t know if it would be appropriate for me to have a teenage boy for a best friend (yeah, slightly creepy), but I was impressed by the realism of that character and the book in general. 🙂

    I like to imagine fairy-tale characters becoming friends, their adventures mingling. So in my book, they do!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog! I’m really enjoying May B so far. And I think Francie could be friends with Scout if Scout could get past Francie acting like a girl 😉

    Cute! I always thought Charles Wallace Murray and Roald Dahl’s Mathilda would have been great friends.
