Who are the most memorable characters in Munro short stories?

One memorable character is Juliet in 'Chance'. Her journey of self - discovery and her complex relationship with her mother make her stand out.

There could be a character like Tom. He might be memorable because of his unique personality, say he's very brave in the face of danger. Another one could be Mary, who has a really kind heart and is always helping others in the stories.

There are many main characters across Munro's short stories. Often, they are ordinary women dealing with the everyday challenges of life. For instance, there could be a middle - aged woman facing a marriage crisis.

Charlie Bucket from 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' is really memorable. He's a kind and humble boy. Then there's Matilda, a very intelligent girl who stands up to the unfair adults in her life. And the Big Friendly Giant from 'The BFG' is also quite unforgettable with his unique way of speaking and his gentle nature.

One memorable character is the old farmer in some of his rural - themed stories. He represents the hard - working and simple - minded people of the countryside. His struggles with the land and the elements are very vividly depicted. Another is the young girl who is full of hope in a rather gloomy social setting. She stands out as a symbol of innocence and the will to strive for a better life.

I think Ivan Dmitritch in 'The Lottery Ticket' is quite memorable. His sudden change in mood when he thinks he might have won the lottery is very vivid. Another one is Sonya in 'Uncle Vanya'. Her self - sacrifice and unrequited love make her a character that stays with the reader.

Pushkin often creates characters that are representative of different social classes. For example, the poor but noble - hearted characters like some of the peasants in his stories. They are memorable because they show the resilience and the simple goodness in the face of hardships. And there are also the aristocratic characters who are often full of pride and vanity, like some of the lords and ladies in his works. Their behavior and interactions within their social circle are quite striking.

Jeeves is a very memorable character. He is the extremely intelligent valet who always manages to get his master out of trouble. Bertie Wooster is also memorable. His bumbling and somewhat clueless nature makes for many humorous situations.

Well, for me, the old Prince Bolkonsky in 'War and Peace' (although it's a long work with short - story - like elements). His gruff yet loving nature towards his family is very interesting. And from the short stories proper, the peasant characters that Tolstoy often portrays are memorable. They show the simplicity and wisdom that can be found in the common people, like the peasants in some of his rural - set stories who have a different view of life compared to the upper - class characters.

One memorable character is Lennie from 'Of Mice and Men'. His child - like innocence and his great strength make him stand out. Another is Ma Joad from 'The Grapes of Wrath'. She is strong - willed and determined, and she holds her family together during their difficult journey.
