The Top Five Fictional Characters You'd Just Like to Punch in the Face
1. Pamela, from Samuel Richardson's Pamela.
Of all the virtuous heroines this one annoys me the most. Seriously, the first thing that comes to my mind when I think of the book is, "Oh yes, Pamela, she so deserves a slap!" Pretentious, immature, hypocritical, sickeningly coy. Don't get me started.
2. Molly Weasley.
She pushes all the wrong buttons with me, from teaching Ron the expression "scarlet woman", which is funny but also kind of disturbing (narrow-minded, judgemental, self-righteous), being bitchy to Hermione after reading the papers, being bitchy to Sirius in Grimmauld Place, and mostly for believing that keeping information from people will keep them safe. Oh, and for encouraging Tonks, with all the connotations of matchmaking and her knowing what's best for everybody and trying to bully people into relationships. Almost makes me like Tonks in comparison. *g*
3. Caramon Majere from The Dragonlance series
For being an insensitive prick to his lovely brother. It's been years since I read these books so can't be more detailed, but I remember being very, very annoyed by him. Mmm, lovely Raistlin. My first love.
4. Louis from Interview with the Vampire
So whiny. So selfish and annoying and underappreciative of the delight that was Lestat. In the early books, at least.
5. Mrs. Bennet, from Pride and Prejudice.
Like Molly Weasley, only worse. Much like nails on chalkboard, I imagine.
