Some characters do not leave your mind even after years. You finish the book, but they stay with you. Their pain. Their choices. Their small moments. You remember them like real people.
I still think about Atticus Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird. His calm voice. His fairness. His strength without anger. He felt real to me.
I also think about Winston from 1984. The way he fights inside his own mind. The fear. The hope. The silence. His story stays in your head long after the last page.
Some characters stay because they feel human. Some stay because they remind you of someone. Some stay because you see a piece of yourself in them.
Share the character that never left your mind. And why they stayed.
Thank you.
