My favourite female fictional characters:
Catherine Morland
No one who had ever seen Catherine Morland in her infancy, would have supposed her born to be an heroine.

My favourite female fictional characters:
Jane Eyre
Jane Eyre is proud, and therefore she is ungrateful too. It pleased God to make her an orphan, friendless, and penniless—yet she thanks nobody, and least of all Him, for the food and raiment, the friends, companions, and instructors of her helpless youth… On the contrary, she looks upon all that has been done for her not only as her undoubted right, but as falling far short of it.
