I imagine everyone in classical literature as anime characters.

This is what Raskolnikov looked like for me

You plebs actually visualize the characters? Go watch a movie.

Light is the nip interpretation.of Raskolnikov. Not L.

I never should have seen this cover

Fuck that is hilarious

I always thought my image of Seymour from Salinger's Glass novelettes resembled Buddy Holly, but when I googled his face it doesn't look like my Seymour at all. I wonder where I have his image from.

When I first saw this, first thing that popped up was Crime and Punishment. Later I found out it was inspired by Idiot. Shows how well Dostoevsky wrote.

Yeah, op, I never really have clear facial features in mind when reading anything. Even if for a passage or two it happens, where I imagine a character as an actor or someone I've known, even then, it doesn't last long. Rn, I'm reading Brothers K, and no one has a discernible look in my mind.

I'm the same for the most part and even when I do visualise the features of characters, they are blurred in my mind however arkady and Tom Burke just seem like the perfect comparison.

I imagine Tom Hagen from The Godfather as James Joyce, and Albert Neri as a policeman from a Donald Duck comic.

Othello is always barechested for me.

But, generally, >>8433317

Leopold Bloom looks like Woody Allen and Stephen looks like Anton Yelchin for whatever reason

pleb series alert, but:

Just wanted to say that I always had a pretty big problem with Game of Thrones vs ASOIAF characters. Half of them are so damn young in the books but grownups in the show and Tyrion is portrayed as some ugly monstrosity in the book while in the show, well, he doesn't look bad.

Imagination is important and can help with memorization and familiarization of scenes and written passages.

How I pictured Shadow from American Gods before I found out he was a quadroon.

I imagine all protagonists as Matthew McConaughey, including the accent.

This is how I imagined the Judge from Blood Meridian.

I didn't even realise it, until just now.

I wonder why.

if anyone from the containment thread is reading, this is how I pictured Inskip from the Stainless Steel Rat books.

>>8435467
I had a specific look for MM, but not that. He was young, dark haired and wild-eyed, sort of bugged out eyes. not full Marty Feldman eyes, but more that than normal. gangly. I think he had a beard, too, which doesn't make sense for US WWII military, but oh well. In the movie, it was strapping and handsome and blonde young Jon Voight. completely opposite, but he did well with the character I thought.

Pleb.

He obviously looks like a cross between old Sean Connery and J. Jonah Jameson.

>>8436006
acceptable.

to be fair, I pictured Dennehy with a beard, I just didn't have a pic like that.
