When we were discussing Jane Eyre for a college course I was taking, my teacher said another author, I cannot remeber her name, wrote a boke telling Bertha's story, and from her point of view, and her life before she ended up being locked in an attic, and how she really came to get there. I thought it was an intresting idea, which lead me to this thought.
What are some of your favorite secondary chars, or chars that were not one of the main pratagonist, or antagonist, that you have read, that you thought deserved to have thier own story told? Or there point of view expressed?

Cap Huff from Kenneth Roberts' books was an interesting character who seemed to do many things other than what was in the books, is one.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern was my initial thought too. I love that play by the way.
