Fictional characters who could have done with a good talking to

[MmeLindor]

Reading this this blog today and thinking that I would have included Donna Moss.

Donna could have done with realising that she was more than just a secretary, or admin assistant. By the end of Season 7, she'd escaped Josh's office and snagged herself a fab job, but wish it hadn't taken so long! Typical scene - in the CJ interview, where she says 'oh, but what do I know', I wanted to give her a good shake.

Who would you include?

[LamppostInWinter]

Cathy Earnshaw/Linton in Wuthering Heights. My A-Level English Lit paper was a lengthy rant on how most of her troubles were due to her being a spoilt brat. Luckily the examiner agreed with me!

[TheCountessofFitzdotterel]

Garnie in Ballet Shoes and Archibald Craven in The Secret Garden.

[MmeLindor]

Lamppost
Ha! I love that you ranted about Cathy. I read that when I was in my late teens and ranted all the way through the book.

Countess
I still haven't read Secret Garden. I don't know how I've managed that!

[TalcAndTurnips]

Angel Clare - how dare he judge and then shun Tess Durbeyfield for her sexual past (which was an act of rape) when he himself had entered into a relationship with a woman outside of marriage?

I remember being so angry when I first read this scene. His double standards and her agony were almost unbearable. Poor, downtrodden Tess.

[TheCountessofFitzdotterel]

Hear hear Talc !

[FunkyPeacock]

I have just read The Mill on The Floss (highly recommended & free on Kindle)

I really wanted to tell Maggie Tulliver to stop punishing herself, elope with Stephen & sod the consequences!

[snowglobemouse]

Carrie Bradshaw (lowering the tone). bitch needed TOLD though

[TheCountessofFitzdotterel]

Oh yeah, and Dorothea Brooke. Stop being so overimpressed by Casaubon - you're making a BIG mistake...

[ChocolateBreakfastBalls]

Peppa fucking Pig. No you cannot wear your new shoes in the fucking bath you little brat.

[Stitchintime1]

Emma Bovary. As the young people say, she thought she was all that.

[MmeLindor]

Talc
I had to stop reading Tess.

Carrie isn't lowering the tone. I started with Donna Moss!

I'm going to add whatsername from Dirty Dancing. She needed to say 'My name is FRANCES, not baby'.

[BernardBlack]

The Twilight girl and her 50 Shades counterpart. Sort yourself out, love

[Greydog]

Emma Bovary - stupid, selfish woman. Your poor little daughter - what will happen to her? Oh - you don't care, do you?

[NoMontagues]

snow ! I just came on to say Carrie too- not realising the rather more highbrow trend of the thread.

But yeah, Carrie. What a muppet.

[LineRunner]

Trillion.

Step away from Zaphod Beeblebrox. Like, now.

[JohnFarleysRuskin]

Dr zhivago.

Yes, I appreciate Julie christie is hard to resist. But come on, what about Tonya and the children? they used to sit in the cold all day to save firewood for you!

[dementedma]

Eowyn. Stop making cow eyes at Aragorn. He loves an Elf maiden. No contest!

[Ledare]

That awful woman from the shopaholic books. Her poor DH...

[MmeLindor]

I'm going to add Wreck it Ralph, who really needed to be encouraged to think more of himself.

[JohnFarleysRuskin]

Amy March- you're awful.

Laurie- don't marry her, you chump.

[ThursdayLast]

Theo Decker.

Just give the painting back. Step away from the Russian.

[Idontseeanydragons]

Emma Woodhouse: Keep your nose out of other peoples business and actually look at your own life for a change.
She really irritates me...

Hermione Granger: seriously?? Ron Weasley? You'd have been better going for the surviving twin, much more fun to be had

[KingJoffreyLikesJaffaCakes]

Becky Bloomwood. Spoilt airhead. Used to love her, after five books I despise her.

Jane Eyre. Rude brat. No wonder your aunt hated you, surly little troublemaker.

[ErinBlockerBitch]

Mrs Bennet ( and Mr Bennet who didn't face up to the entail or save for the future of his girls) just the most annoying woman.
