QotD: Fictional Friend
What fictional character do you relate to most and why?
I love to read and LOVE this question. I consider, and this may be a boring answer, most of Jane Austin's characters personal friends of mine and I often wish I could be more like them. From Elizabeth Bennett and her intelligence and deep loyalty to family or Catherine from Northanger Abbey when she lets her imagination get the best of her. I f ind all the women in the Austin library to be refreshing and yet steady.
I probably appreciate and relate most to Fanny in Mansfield park and her social awkwardness and the knowledge she has that she doesn't quite fit in. I understand that completely.
