If you could dine with any literary character, who would it be?



Auben -> RE: Dinner with a Character (7/9/2008 6:18:55 PM)

Marian Halcombe from Wilkie Collin's The Woman in White. She can even stay for a while. [;)]



butterfly616 -> RE: Dinner with a Character (7/9/2008 9:43:25 PM)

Naomi Yoder from The Road Home by Tommy Tenney & Mark Andrew Olsen.



WaitingforBoaz -> RE: Dinner with a Character (7/9/2008 11:36:23 PM)

Donal Grant from the Book Sir Gibbie (and others) By George MacDonald. I would really rather have dinner with George MacDonald though [:D]



uncabeeil -> RE: Dinner with a Character (7/10/2008 10:40:32 AM)

Miss Marple. She's just so nice, and smart.[



cherryfly -> RE: Dinner with a Character (7/10/2008 3:02:13 PM)

Mr. Darcy ~~ From Pride and Prejudice

Or

Aslan ~~ from Chronicles of Narnia

Or

Faramir ~~
Pippin ~~
Aragorn ~~
Gandalf ~~
Elrond ~~
Legolas ~~ from Lord of the Rings. lol

There's probably tons more that I can't think of right now....

first make me a kid again, then it would be Tom Sayer and Huck Finn



rae_of_light -> RE: Dinner with a Character (7/14/2008 9:44:42 PM)

I agree with Cherryfly on every character she named! Especially Pippin... but I'm not going to go there today! I would also love to have dinner with Neb from Brian Jacques' "Castaways of the Flying Dutchman". He's awesome, even though he IS hundreds of years old!



McFatty -> RE: Dinner with a Character (7/16/2008 12:01:45 PM)

Edmond Dantes (post incarceration) from The Count of Monte Cristo



horsepill -> RE: Dinner with a Character (7/17/2008 7:35:51 PM)

Aragorn and Sam from The Lord of the Rings.
Willy Wonka from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (I'd imagine dessert would be ammaaazzzing).
Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler from Gone with the Wind.

I feel the same way. The characters in his novels would be nice to meet because they are like him. What a wise fellow!

If we consider his fairy tale/fantasy books, perhaps Mr. Raven from Lilith would be interesting or the great, great, great grandmother from The Princess and Goblin and The Princess and Curdie.



Covaan_Meshuga -> RE: Dinner with a Character (7/18/2008 1:27:04 AM)

I subscribed to this thread a long time ago, and I still can't think of any fictional character I would want to have dinner with. I guess I will give up and just write that I would love to sit down to lunch with Corrie ten Boom, and I would hope I am still listening to her through dinner! What a lady!



stateofgrace -> RE: Dinner with a Character (7/27/2008 6:43:22 PM)

OK...

I have a few :)

Instead of Mr. Darcy from P&P...I'd like to have tea with Lizzie, about 15 years into their marriage. I'd like to see what kind of mother she became, and if society accepted her into Mr. Darcy's circles.

I'd like to have dinner with Meg from Madeline L'Engle's time quartet, and her mom as well. Likely after Meg became an adult.

I'd like to have dinner with Carlisle and Esme Cullen from the Twilight series. I'd like to discuss matters of faith with Carlisle and how he reconciled being a vampire with his Christian (Angligan) background - and how he taught himself to avoid human blood, even deciding to become a doctor. And I'd like to hear about Carlisle and Esme's experiences in becoming adoptive "parents" taking young vampires under their wing, teaching them to follow their ways instead of their vampire instincts.



techne -> RE: Dinner with a Character (7/27/2008 7:16:35 PM)

kerewin from the bone people



PrincessButtercup -> RE: Dinner with a Character (7/27/2008 10:41:40 PM)

I like Rae's pick. I would love to have dinner with Pippin. But I just hope I wouldn't eat near as much as he would. [:D]



danielmount -> RE: Dinner with a Character (7/28/2008 9:18:32 PM)

Miz Elda from The Last Sin Eater

Oooooh, that's a good one! [sm=thumbsup.gif] I'll add him to my list!



1mlasp -> RE: Dinner with a Character (7/30/2008 7:07:18 PM)

Shylock, from Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice

Elizabeth-Jane, from Hardy's The Mayor of Castorbridge.

Kurt Wagner (Nightcrawler) from the X-Men comic books.....does that count as a literary character?

Roger Chillingworth, from The Scarlet Letter.

Professor McGonagall, from the Harry Potter books.

Grendel's mother, from Beowulf, although I would be concerned about her table manners and that she may consider me as a menu item.

edited to add - Ramona Quimby as an adult, looking back at her childhood, from all the Beverly Cleary books.

This is what I would say. If I wasn't married, my first choice would be Mr Darcy... Lizzie is my all time favorite character. We're very like, so we'd probably hit it off.

Currently, I am reading Just Jane by Moser about Jane Austen. I would love to sit down with Jane.

I would also like to speak to Queen Wealththeow from Beowulf. I'd love to talk home and hearth with her...as well as get her take on the story.

It's funny... I love books and classic novels, but I would really rather speak with the authors than the fictional creations.

And umm, not sure who else.



smilingcutie -> RE: Dinner with a Character (8/11/2008 3:49:20 PM)

Well I would have dinner with all the people from Finish Strong by Dan Green. Although, these aren't fictional characters, they're really people. But they share their experience with overcoming challenges and they sound like some amazing people to meet.

(finishstrong.com) :):)



Tinkerbell_ -> RE: Dinner with a Character (8/13/2008 9:30:21 AM)

Severus Snape, Remus Lupin, and Narcissa Malfoy from Harry Potter

Aslan, Susan, and Edmund from Narnia

Mr. Darcy from P&P

Aragorn and Legolas from LOTR



PrincessButtercup -> RE: Dinner with a Character (8/13/2008 10:03:31 PM)

Another character I would like to have dinner with is Lucy from Narnia.



NotDoneYet -> RE: Dinner with a Character (8/16/2008 8:03:55 PM)

I'd love to be at a dinner party with Dirk Pitt, Al Giordino and Admiral Sandecker from Clive Cussler's books...Jack Ryan
Lessa and F'lar from Anne McCaffery's Dragonriders of Pern series
NonFiction:
Gene Kranz and Christopher Kraft
