Who are the most memorable characters from fiction? All readers have a favorite, a person who seems as real as the people they see every day. In some cases, a character can seem even more real. Think of Atticus Finch, Scout, Huckleberry Finn, Magwitch, Ron Weasley, or Katniss Everdeen - it can be hard to believe these people are purely the invention of their authors.
This quiz tests the ability to understand character by inference from dialog, action or description.

At the end of the first chapter, Austen tells her reader what Mrs. Bennet is like, but this follows two pages of dialog from which the reader has already begun to build a mental image of Mrs. Bennet's character. Her lack of self-awareness and low intelligence is a catalyst for much of the action in the novel

The narrator is the protagonist (main character) of this story, which means it will be told from a limited point of view. Using a first-person narrator allows the author to share the protagonist's thoughts and motivations with the reader, while limiting the reader to viewing all other characters through the protagonist's eyes
|
We don't yet know if the protagonist is male or female, which makes the first answer wrong

One of the key points to remember about characters is that they often change before the end of a story - Beatrice remains clever, argumentative, and quick with a cutting remark, but decides before the end of the play that she does love Benedick after all

Mr. Birling is self-satisfied, but is blind to modern reality. His predictions about the likelihood of the coming war (WWI) are as mistaken as his trust in the Titanic
