Happy Tuesday everyone! Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday which is is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's topic is a Relationship Freebie. I was thinking about doing a list of characters I'd like to be best friends with, but I thought I do something different and feature characters I know be my archenemies (or at least just be really irritating to me if I ever met them in real life). There are a couple of pairs since I couldn't separate them. Without further ado, here we go in alphabetical order by character name:
Daisy and Tom Buchanan from The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Holden Caulfield from The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
Dorian Gray from The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw from Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
Count Olaf from The Bad Beginning (A Series of Unfortunate Events #1) by Lemony Snicket
Edward Rochester from Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
Veruca Salt from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Charlie Bucket #1) by Roald Dahl
George Warleggan from Ross Poldark (The Poldark Saga #1) by Winston Graham
Have you read any of these books? What fictional characters would be your archenemies in real life? As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below!
This is fun and clever. :) I haven't read the book, but feel like I'd have issues with Daisy as well plus same could go for George and the Count, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Probably a lot of issues. 😄
DeleteI've read a few of these, but so long ago that I don't remember them. But I must say, I love your spin on this week's topic.

Thanks, Pam!
DeleteI absolutely love this as a topic! I often really love characters who I'd hate in real life - they make the story so interesting! XD
ReplyDeleteThat they definitely do!
DeleteThis post made me smile! There are some truly irritating characters here. I especially can't stand the Buchanans. I despise THE GREAT GATSBY. LOL
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
I loved book, but I hated the Buchanans! 😄
DeleteGreat list, very original. Agree with you, they are the worst, but Veruca Salt is particularly annoying
ReplyDeleteExceptionally!
DeleteOh my gosh I love this idea!! Heathcliff and Catherine for sure. That book makes me crazy! Ugh and Count Olaf!
ReplyDeleteI definitely prefer the book as horror rather than romance in anyway. 😊
DeleteI love this list and the pictures! I've seen some of them on TV and read a couple of books.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!

Thanks for sharing!
DeleteThis was such a fun topic. Here is my post https://paigesofnovels.com/2024/08/20/top-ten-tuesday-11-favorite-books-with-romance-ive-read-this-year/
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming over!
DeleteGreat list! I somehow read Wuthering Heights before any of my English teachers made me read it. Once it did come up in class, I couldn't remember much but I also couldn't bring myself to re-read it. They're such terrible people! It's the only book I ever read Cliffs Notes for. I still stand by that decision!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I read it in a college level Gothic Horror class - that definitely helped me with it. 😊
DeleteGreat list! I just recently read Ross Poldark and am looking forward to continuing the series. Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks! The whole series is pretty amazing so I hope you enjoy it.
DeleteVeruca Salt is a good one! Fun idea for a list😁
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tammy!
DeleteWhat a great idea! I can totally understand why you chose these!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming over, Lisa!
DeleteOh, interesting take on the theme! I hadn't thought about that idea...
