From literature,film, or tv, who is your favorite character?
From literature, mine is Joy-Hulga, from Good Country People, by Flannery O'Connor... She is a completely miserable, cynical person. Her real name is Joy, but that sounded too happy for her, so she changed it to Hulga. She had her leg torn off in a farming accident and wore a stump, and to annoy her mother and to make everyone around her uncomfortable, she clumped around with it as loudly as possible. Hilarious.
From tv, my favorite is Eddie from Ab-Fab... for the fact that she is a completely outrageous, self-centered, over-indulgent fashion victim, who, despite the fact that she has a successful PR business has absolutely zero responsibility and spends her days drinking vodka and wine straight from the bottle while popping pills and smoking joints. The only thing that keeps her successful is her burning desire to be relevant and for people to pay attention to her. Even in her innebriated self-involved confusion, she still has the ability to tell it like it is.
From film, my favorite is Hannibal Lecter... I just admire any man who can make a man swallow his own tongue just by talking to him...and plot out and murder security guards thus escaping a highly guarded facility all while enjoying some classical music and maintaining a normal heartrate. I also fell in love with the idea of him playing the piano beautifully while reading several newspapers...awesome!
