>Name a character in fiction that has had a major influence on your worldview and explain that influence.
Mine would have to be Uthman Bayyumi from Naguib Mahfouz's "Son Excellence" or "Respected Sir". I haven't read the english translation of it as of yet, but I've been reading the french translation of it by Rania Samara ever since I received it as compulsory reading material when I was in 8th grade. I'm now twenty-one and I've been reading the book twice yearly for the last couple of years just to remind myself of my priorities.
The main theme in Respected Sir is ambition. In addition to that, time and the theme of isolation are also put forward in subordinate.
I've even considered converting to Islam and have unsuccessfully attempted it twice just to align myself even further along the lines of the main character but I can't help the fact that I'm a mostly unrestrained (I don't take it up the ass like the others do, I'm 100% top) homosexual libertine who fantasizes about cannibalism and necrophilia. Fucking sucks!

Fucking degenerate.
A character who really changed my worldview is definitely Katniss, from the Hunger Games.

It was just supposed to change your world view m8, not transform into him.

Zorba nigga. He helped me get my head out of my own ass and realign my priorities.

The Mountain King in Peer Gynt. His "To thyself be enough" (as opposed to "to thyself be true") really resonated with me. It's also how I understand Goethe's "I've rested my cause upon nothing".
Also Socrates tbqh.

When I read the Alchemist as a kid Santiago had an interesting effect on me.
Also Kage from Gav Thorpes Last Chancers. Relatable psychopath.
