Which great literary character does Stevie most resemble to you?

1. The batty, profound Miss Flite from "Bleak House"

2. The beautiful wisp Daisy Buchanan from "The Great Gatsby"

3. The embittered, self-insular & insane Miss Havisham from "Great Expectations"

4. The wealthy, strong-willed Leonora Ashburnham in "The Good Soldier"

5. The stoical, searching Mary Follet in "A Death in the Family"

These days I think #3 is the closest :laugh:.

Miss Flite, of course.

In the 1980's with the big hair...Marie Antoinette!

A Charles Dickens character, with her top hat and her scarf.

I knew you were gonna say that, Pete! Funny thing is, I can't think of a single Dickens female character in top hat & scarf. :o :shocked:

A Tale of Two Cities street urchin

Either can I, but it's the first thing that popped into my head, and Stevie wrote it, so it must be true:)

Does this street urchin have a name? Like Jo the street-sweep in Bleak House?

I don't know if this would count as a "great litterary character" but I have always seen Stevie as a Scarlett O Hara. She even makes the connection herself in the song Welcome to the Room... Sara.

How about "A Charles Dickens Character, in her top hat and her scarf?"

Sorry, couldn't resist. :lol:

OH - somebody else had already said this - oops! OH well, I'll leave the picture, at least...

Scarlett is far more brash than Stevie. Stevie would have died of guilt if she did some of the things Scarlett O'Hara did. She could never have stolen her sister's fiance, and I can't see her throwing dirt in Jonas Wilkerson's face.

Miss Havisham is what Stevie would have become if she had never recovered after her spiritual bankruptcy of the early nineties. Alone in her mansion, unable to recover from the devastation of lost past loves. Thankfully that fate was averted.

wow.

I don't think this is literature and I'm not sure why or if it makes sense, but she somehow reminds me of Norma Desmond only when I hear the song "With One Look." The role itself doesn't apply to her.

I beg to differ...
