The Classic Meme 2.0 - Favorite Classic Character

Who is your favourite classic character? Why?

For my answer, I share parts of a post from the weekly Favorite Fictional Character meme Ryan used to host at Wordsmithonia. Of course, I do have many favorite classic characters if I am to be honest, but here I go with my first favorite. 

As you will read, it's Jo March from Little Women. I count her as my favorite for the reasons below, and because she was a part of the first classic novel I read as a child. 

My most favorite character from the book and the movie is Jo March. When I was a girl, Jo was inspiring to me. Her love for the written word and her devotion to writing was partly responsible for sparking the same in me. And I loved her fierce independence and individuality...in that time period, Jo was almost a feminist. She threw convention out the window and marched to her own drummer. But she was very devoted to her family and her sisters meant the world to her...especially dear, sweet Beth. Watching Jo lose Beth is one of the most heartbreaking moments in cinematic (and literary) history. Every time I watch or read this part, I am reduced to tears...every time.

Jo, and the story of Little Women, show us that family is the most important thing on this earth. But also the importance of being an individual and following your dreams. And the March family know the true meaning of Christmas...the spirit of love and giving. If you haven't read the book or seen the movie, you should do so immediately! It's a great story any time, but especially at Christmas.

Who is your favorite classic character?

The second Cat Thursday of each month is Authors and Cats Thursday. Each time I will feature an author (with a birthday during the month), pictured with their/a cat(s), or guest posts by cat loving authors who also (sometimes) write about cats.

Yes, I'm late...AGAIN!!!

We all (probably) know who she is, but I did not know she was a cat lover. She even coined a quote with a cat in it (see below). Her birthday is February 24 so she's our author this month. 

Gillian Flynn is an American author and television critic for Entertainment Weekly. She has so far written three novels, Sharp Objects, for which she won the 2007 Ian Fleming Steel Dagger for the best thriller; Dark Places; and her best-selling third novel Gone Girl.

Her book has received wide praise, including from authors such as Stephen King. The dark plot revolves around a serial killer in a Missouri town, and the reporter who has returned from Chicago to cover the event. Themes include dysfunctional families,violence and self-harm.

In 2007 the novel was shortlisted for the Mystery Writers of America Edgar for Best First Novel by an American Writer, Crime Writers' Association Duncan Lawrie, CWA New Blood and Ian Fleming Steel Daggers, winning in the last two categories.

Flynn, who lives in Chicago, grew up in Kansas City, Missouri. She graduated at the University of Kansas, and qualified for a Master's degree from Northwestern University. (Goodreads)
