Question: Help me with your classic lit knowledge!?
I'm writing a short story for LA, and I'm alluding to book characters at one point!. The poor side of town has a street called 43rd Sikes and Dawkins Avenue!. What should I do for the rich side!?!? Who are some famous rich characters from novels!? I would prefer if they weren't from Oliver Twist just because!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Darcy~Pride and Prejudice
Gatsby~The Great Gatsby
Dorian Gray~The Picture of Dorian Gray
Portia~The Merchant of Venice
Heathcliff~Wuthering Heights
Ms!. Havisham~Great Expectations

Good luck! Hope this list helps!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Just myself--I'd go with glutinous, sense-indulging pigs for the rich end, with rebellious children, who hate their parents, despite all the corporeal gifts they receive!. This is often the story with wealthy families!.

As for classic lit!.!.!.sorry!. Can't help you much there--a lot of classic lit is overrated, to me!.

Hope it helps!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Don Quioxte
Edward Linton, Heathcliff from "Wuthering Heights"
Blanche DuBois from "A Streetcar Named Desire"
