Who is the loneliest fictional character?
So who would you give the accolade of Loneliest fictional character to?

I hadn't thought of him, but I think you're right... Dunno if you read through the whole series but he truly was a lonely person.Intellijock wrote:I would have to say Ender, from Ender's Game. He is literally the only human to have experienced a connection with an alien civilization, one that he is solely responsible for annihilating.

In addition to my other post, I would say that Leonard Peacock from Matthew Quick's novel - Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock - is the loneliest fictional character. I feel I can relate to him because even though he isn't necessarily alone, he is lonely.

I actually think of Gatsby he seems like a pretty lonely character to me.
