So it's Tuesday which means it's time for a Top Ten Tuesday post. The lovely ladies over at The Broke and the Bookish gave us the topic of discussing 10 characters that are frustrating to us as we read. It didn't take me long to decide which ones to pick. So without further ado... Here are the 10 characters that I just cannot stand:
1. Professor Umbridge from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and The Deathly Hallows. She is just pure evil and it made my stomach hurt to read the sections that involved her. I honestly think that in a way she is far worse than Voldemort.
2. Saruman from The Lord of the Rings. I didn't like how tricky he was and how easily he could make trouble for the hobbits.
3. Mr. Collins from Pride and Prejudice. Talk about a creeper!
4. Becky Sharp from Vanity Fair. Her conniving ways and her constant telling of lies embarrassed me in a way. I was disappointed in how a "lady" would do the things that Becky did all for status and approval. In my mind that didn't make her a lady at all.
5. Ida Glenshaw from The Inheritance. Again, she did not impress me as a lady. I love strong, independent females and to read about how she just tricked, lied, flirted and sought to cause trouble just so that she could be noticed is just embarrassing to me as a woman.
6. Percy Weasley from Harry Potter. I know he wasn't a main character or have any big role in the books, but he was such a prick that I just got irritated whenever he showed up.
7. Eowyn from The Lord of the Rings. She may have been a strong warrior, but she definitely got a little too carried away with her "love" for Aragorn and a little reckless with her responsibility to take care of the people of Rohan when she ran away with the men to war.
8. Susan Pevensy from The Chronicles of Narnia. She also was a bit of a prick and I wish she had been more child-like the way her siblings were.
9. Mr. Wickham from Pride and Prejudice. I have quite a few friends in the military whom I love and respect a great deal. Men who are worthy of respect and honor the uniform that they wear. I felt like Wickham was a bit of a disgrace to the uniform and definitely wasn't a man worthy of any respect.
10. Mr. Rochester from Jane Eyre. He was too manipulative for me to really enjoy or respect his character. I didn't like how he handled various situations and especially the way that he oftentimes talked down to Jane.
What about you? What are the 10 characters you just cannot stand? Did you like some of the ones that I listed?
