First post...self loathing/hatred in lit

[silentfrwy]

Hello board, this is my first time posting to this forum. =)

I am currently seeking out fiction with self loathing characters. I have a one or two in mind but can't think of any beyond that.

Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

[Dark Muse]

Notes From Underground by Dostoevsky

[Mutatis-Mutandis]

Bukowski, Bukowski, and you should also try Bukowski.

[Syd A]

Bruno in Michel Houellebecq's The Elementary Particles (Atomised in the UK).

Also, Vonnegut's Deadeye Dick.

[Heteronym]

Philip Roth's Portnoy's Complaint.

[Panglossian]

Yes by Thomas Bernhard.

[Blasarius '33]

Light in August, by Faulkner. Specifically the character Joe Christmas.

[kiki1982]

Jane Eyre's Rochester is self-loathing.

[dfloyd]

I thought he was Jack Benny's butler.

[Seasider]

Hamlet to an extent.

[Emil Miller]

I thought he was Jack Benny's butler.

I think she's too young to get the joke.

[Atomic]

Push by Sapphire and The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath ooze female suffering...

[dwdean]

frankenstein all the way

[King Mob]

Malone Dies, by Samuel Beckett. Krapp's Last Tape, by Samuel Beckett. Both about old age, regret, and self-hate.
