Hi everyone, I’m looking for books with main characters like Prince Hamlet from Hamlet and Holden Caulfield from The Catcher In The Rye. The introspective, depressed, preferably also bit manic/hyperactive and erratic type of character, who feels a lot and very deeply but doesn’t really know what to do with all those feelings. Someone who also feels a bit lonely or alienated or misunderstood and possibly went through some sort of traumatic experience in the past. Would be even cooler if they were embedded into some sort of crime/thriller or sci-fi or fantasy story or something like that, a kind of high stakes and adventurous experience the character has to live through as a key figure while they’re dealing with all their inner turmoil.
Thanks in advance!
