What character do you identify?

[Felipe]

Hi everyone,

The question is: There is some character of the
novels by Stephen King similar with you, or do you like?

Right, I start
I identify like Jack Sawyer of The Talisman, maybe because Jack
is very resistent, no give up easily, and not leave yours friends

Jack Sawyer


Sure, now you...

I'm pretty sure that I've answered a similar question before on a related thread, so I better not contradict myself.

I've always identified with Johnny Smith, the main character from The Dead Zone, which was the first SK book I ever read (mainly because of the sheer size of The Stand).

Johnny's single-mindedness, his feelings of alienation from mainstream society, and his certainty that he is right despite the doubts of those around him, resonate very powerfully for me.

I identify with Mort Rainey in Secret Window, Secret Garden because he is a writer just like i am and he also has writer's block, I don't have writers block but I sometimes goes weeks without writing anything.

Also, he lives in the woods in a cabin and that would be my ideal home. I really don't identify with the crazy side of him though :S

Ah, this is true, staro, but have you ever been asked by someone named "Felipe?"

I'm still going with a combination of Rosie from Rose Madder and Delores from Delores Claiborne. They went through hell, but did what needed to be done to turn their lives around.

After giving it some thought, I can't seem to pin any one down that I identify with.
But I have the most sympathy for the flawed hero characters. The ones who have to reach deep within themselves to find the courage to do hard and sometime REALLY SCARY things.
I also find myself feeling sorry for the bad guys in Stephen King's books a lot more than other writer's books. Some of them seem like tortured souls who would be good if they could, like Cujo for instance.
I actually felt kind of sorry for Mordrid too!
If I could be anyone I wanted to be in a SK novel I suppose I'd want to be the one that got away.

Hm. Good question. I'm going to have to get back to you on this. I have to think about it.

Off the top of my head i've got to say that i identify with a lot of themes that Ben brings up (from IT). The feeling of warm nostalgia which the sanctuary of the inside of a library brings when you are a child and trying to escape from the senseless bullies, the winter harshness, life in general when you just struggle to understand who you are and why the world is so cruel sometimes. That whole side of Ben's character, i relate to it so well, it's really cool.
