Books have a way of allowing us to see ourselves reflected in the characters we read about. Whether it’s their personality, struggles, or triumphs, there are certain book characters that can remind us of ourselves in one way or another. Here is a list of the top ten book characters that remind me of myself:

1. Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling – I see myself in Hermione’s strong sense of justice and her love for learning and knowledge.

2. Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen – Like Elizabeth, I am independent, opinionated, and not afraid to speak my mind.

3. Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins – Katniss’s resilience, determination, and loyalty to her loved ones resonate with me.

4. Jo March from Little Women by Louisa May Alcott – Jo’s passion for writing and her rebellious spirit remind me of my own dreams and aspirations.

5. Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery – Like Anne, I have a vivid imagination, a love for nature, and a tendency to get carried away in my own thoughts.

6. Jane Eyre from Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë – Jane’s quiet strength, independence, and desire for equality mirror my own values and beliefs.

7. Scout Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee – Scout’s innocence, curiosity, and sense of justice resonate with my own desire to make the world a better place.

8. Eleanor Oliphant from Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman – Eleanor’s social awkwardness, loneliness, and journey towards self-acceptance remind me of my own struggles and growth.

9. Matilda Wormwood from Matilda by Roald Dahl – Matilda’s intelligence, love for books, and determination to overcome obstacles reflect my own thirst for knowledge and resilience.

10. Mia Thermopolis from The Princess Diaries series by Meg Cabot – Mia’s clumsiness, self-doubt, and journey towards self-discovery remind me of my own journey towards finding my true self.

These are just a few of the book characters that remind me of myself. Through their stories and personalities, I am able to see parts of myself reflected back at me and find comfort in the similarities we share. Books have a unique way of connecting us to characters who feel like kindred spirits and help us to better understand ourselves in the process.
