ITT: characters that remind you of yourself

For me, it is Nikolai Stavrogin, intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor.

im the love interest in Gay Billionare Jetplane

i can relate to the osterizer classic blender

hmm i think i fit pretty well with the stranger, intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor.

i'll bite, how do you relate to this blender, friend?

The guy from a dream of a ridiculous man

joke: this is a meme shitpost, nothing to see here, move along

woke: i'm a boring disposable object that chops things up into slush, spawned as one of millions of unnumbered others and now accruing dust in a permanent state of obsolescence, piled up like so much wreckage at the feet of the angel of history, om shantih shantih

bespoke: i could be in your basement right now

Erika Kohut. Smart, voyeuristic, into bdsm. Falls for imbeciles who can't appreciate the aforementioned traits in her.

Veeky Forums doesn't deserve even this level of shitposting

Naked Lunch's AJ

Annoying, eccentric, cheerful, put my friends in disorienting misadventures

Is he the stranger??

Is the book as meaningless as Haneke's flick?

The underground man is basically me

Jokes on you op, theres no basement in the Alamo!

This one is not Haneke's best I reckon. The book was quite unreadable.

>Pevear and Volokhonsky

Im basically raskolnikov. Terribly smart, but just too lazy.

...

THICC

Alice B. Toklas: purposefully unobstrusive; good for bouncing ideas off of and not much else.

also gay as fuck

For me, it is Stephen Dedalus, intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor.

which translation would you recommend?

I am reading Brothers Karamazov now and it's the Pevear translation.

Raskolnikov

Ilya ilyich oblomov

Dmitriy Olenin

N ice.

Stubb

Holden Caulfield
Antoine Roquentin
Thomas Chandler

Edmond Dantes, instead of pitiful material wealth my revenge will be done with knowledge.

Prufrock, unironically, and I think the same would apply to 90% of posters here.

Little bit delusional, suffering from imposter syndrome, and in love with Anne Frank

Are you literally me?!

pevear + volokhonsky is the best

thiis is what Veeky Forums needs

the fucked up idiot from Notes From Underground

N. in Adamov's The Parody, no discernible characteristic beyond his slight creepiness

t. un homme qui dort ;_;

I will never not link this.

Ignatius J. Reilly

OP here, I actually wanted to discuss Nikolai Stavrogin and Demon in general, can we do that?

...

Bruno from Houellebecq's Elementary Particles

We even share the same name.

Yeah go ahead and start it off

The protagonist of My Diary Desu.

I only ever see bits and pieces of myself in characters. I'm not as elegant as Hamlet or as erudite as Daedalus or as pious as Alyosha...

But hot damn if Levin's return home to Petersburg in part one of AK wasn't almost entirely how I viewed a similar rejection. I can't wait to finish the book.

Also applies to :

Konstantin Levin

what do you know, all of Veeky Forums chose the superfluous man

This desu

P&V is great if you're not a retarded burger who is too lazy to pick up a book of Russian idioms or just read the notes in the back.

you sound edgy

Sensei from Kokoro

Nah, it's mostly just that my liver hurts.

this

Keep telling yourself that, kid.

Spurstow from At the End of The Passage by Kipling.

Kirilov was the coolest

Holden from the catcher in the rye, I am socially awkward and and self entitled ;w;

hey man, pick up Avsey's or MacAndrew's translation and read it in tandem with P&V's. honestly. make the decision yourself, but don't go the whole thousand pages wondering if the message could be communicated better.
because P&V is fuckin shite.

I unironically feel exactly like the main character from Good Old Neon

I mean I'm not dead so not 100%
