Maldoror

>>8462811
Antigone

>>8462848
Fuck off with this socialist traitor, you libcuck.

He ruined America

>>8462819
Seconded

>>8462853
Come on dude, he's obviously trolling.

>>8462831
I don't mind first person.

>>8462864
Nah, I've met plenty of SJW libcucks who celebrate this commie cuck.

There a lot more than you think.

Obongo is the worst president in US history

>>8462853
>>8462873

/pol/ pls go. I don't even like obama all that much nor many of his policy decisions but you should probably read a fucking history book or grow a couple years older before you start talking this kind of shit. do you even pay taxes or vote?

>>8462873
Well go be a faggot about that somewhere else.

We are talking about great characters. If Obama is an amazing character for his life and how he lived it, so be it. If hes not, and people are just applying that to him because he's our president, so be it.

I don't know myself. But crying about your political animosity towards him is irrelevant here.

It would be like someone posting Jesus, and getting mad and calling them a Christian. I'm not comparing Obama to Jesus, I'm just making the point that his character isn't relevant to your beliefs ATM.

>>8462890
This is a greatest character of all time, and some libshit cultural marxist posted the man who shattered America as we know it.

Am I not allowed to comment on it? If so, that's solely the work of Obongo politics destroying rational discourse

>>8462902

He probably did it to b8 mentally challenged poltards like yourself. You got played son and you were too busy sucking the donalds cock to notice. Fuck off of lit.

You can hate Obama without being a whiny racist altright crybaby

Calling him a commie, using the word 'cuck', and then calling him 'Obongo' undermines any legitimate point you might've been able to make

go back to /pol/

>>8462956
>>8462967
seriously kill yourselves

/pol/ is always right, and we aren't afraid to speak our mind, even if it doesn't fit this hugbox ideology. We say it like it is, like Trump

>>8463042
>this hugbox ideology
what?

>>8463042
>>8462967
Neither Trump, polfags, Or Obama sound like good characters to me. Why can't we have a good thread? Its not like its difficult, its a decision between being on topic or being offended.

>>8463062
Blame the guy who posted the image to trigger /pol/acks

>>8463100
Thats like blaming Wendy's for advertising Ice Cream and inadvertently causing the short bus to flip over because the Down Syndrome kid flipped the fuck out when he saw the advertisement and knocked out the driver.

Alexander the Great
>Killed father
>Commanded the cavalary at 16
>Tutored by Aristotle
>Raised on Lion flesh
>Mother made his believe he was a god
>Killed best friend in drunken rage
>Burned down city in drunkey rage
>Verbally sparred with philosphers
>Possibly had father assasinated
>Killed half brother
>Had his most faithful general killed by his body-guards who rode across the desert on camels Why?
>Because he personally dispatched his son for being involved in a conspiracy.
>Bi sexual
>Killed 20,000 of his own men in a death march because they disobeyed one of his orders
>Died young
> Mother was stoned to death by enemies
> With his dying breath set in motion wars which would last centuries

His story has everything,
full of contradictions and famous people and meglamania.

If someone would put together a screen play for HBO it would sell like hotcakes

The history channel could do an excellent documentary but they'd insinuate that he fucked an alien somewhere in between.

Here are some of my favorites, maybe you'll like a couple:

This isn't really a list of characters you think are good or who reasonated with you. This a list trying to show how erudite you are to strangers on a vietnamese frog-posting image board. Please consider gassing yourself

>>8463270

One more that I forgot:

>Venus and Adonis in Shakespeare's Venus and Adonis

>>8463281

If I wanted to show off how erudite I am I wouldn't mostly cite characters you could find in any "top 100 must read books!" list

>>8462873
>Obongo is the worst president in US history
how soon we forget what a genuinely bad president looks like, just 8 years after he left office

>>8462850
>not Electra

me desu

(character from my diary)

>>8463116
kek

+1

>>8463116
One of the best analogies of our time.

>>8462811
Philoktetes.

>>8463270
>Ajax in Ajax (play by Euripides)
The Ajax that we have is by Sophocles.

>>8463544
>Antigone
>not Electra
Why not Medea? There's a character with an murky heart.

>>8462811
Leopold Bloom, obviously, is the deepest character ever written in literature.

Other ones that stand out to me are Dedalus, Satan, Achilles, Falstaff, Hamlet, Myshkin, Virgil (in the Divine Comedy).

>>8462811
Sue Bridehead.

(Are any young Estonian women reading this?)

>>8462811
Oh yeah, I forgot Jane Eyre. Probably the greatest female character of all time.
