On Jane Austen's Elizabeth from Pride and Prejuduice.



I really loathe this individual fictional character.



Do you have a Character that you want Assasinate? :D

No, because they're not real.

Can we pick authors instead (or would that be breaking the rules!)

Niamh - if we pick books would this result in book burning? Guy Fawkes night is coming up soon, so we'll have lots of bonfires on which to toss them!

But what if the fire spits it back out because it thinks it tastes funny?:p When is Guy Faulkes? our bonfires are on halloween night here.

Yeah all our offical bonfires are on Halloween night. As for the little stupid random ones that people think is okay to light, they arent. Just kids doing stupid things.

Bad joke. The night before Halloween is called Devils night (at least in Michigan), where mostly kids would pull pranks like throw eggs at peoples houses and toilet paper houses...then it got steadily worse to where people were burning houses and it got totally out of control in the 80's. But since then there's been a major effort to call it Angels night and all kinds of patrols and neighborhood watchs are organized. There's a book about it.

Guy Fawkes night is on 5th November (remember, remember the 5th of November, gunpowder, treason and plot!), and is the day that we burn an effigy of Guy Fawkes, and have much rejoicing. Baked potatoes are obligatory, as is treacle toffee and parkin cake. Sadly those kill-joys in the Health and Safety Executive are trying to ruin everyone's fun.

More about Guy Fawkes night here. It is almost as good as Christmas and much, much better than Halloween :)

We could, to make Lote happy, make it 'Faulkener' night and burn copies of 'The Wild Palms' instead.

Who said I was being serious?!

Of course I cannot pass up the opportunity to ask when you found out that B-mental became so minty fresh?

Then some poor unsuspecting person might buy one and be forced to suffer the torture of reading it.

I was in the process of responding to this the other day until my computer just disconnected on me and wouldn't let me get back on! :flare:

Anyway....

EMMA WODEHOUSE!!!!!!!!

As an extremely close second........

CHRISTINE DAAE!!!!

My top two least favorite characters in literature! Of course, I accept them because I know that if they did not "exist" where would the stories be?!

Masood - Dastak Nah Do

Killing is no fun. The pleasure one can extract by torturing him alive can equal none probably. Lucy Manette from A Tale of Two Cities is a close contestant too but I feel like being kinder today.

Deal. You get Cathy. I get Joseph and that whining Linton Heathcliff.
It will be gory, it may be inhumane, but it will be good ;)
