ITT: fictional characters that you strive to emulate. For me,

so basically you aspire to be a lonely personality-deprived creep with vague religious/philosophical beliefs that are actually very contrived and lame by today's standards?

>putting "the masterpiece" on your own cover

Hermine in "Steppenwolf".

>>9819867
That's ironic because I usually post a similar thread on /r9k/ with Griffith as the OP.

Have you read Demian? Demian reminded me a lot of Griffith upon my initial reading of the novel.

Demian was shit.

>>9819883
you have terrible taste my man. No wonder you like Demian so much (it's my insta-pleb filter for Hesse fans).
beserk sucks. It's the uncreative poorman's evangelion.

>>9819886
Can you at least acknowledge the impact that it would have on a high schooler reading it for the first time?

>>9819890
I like NGE more than I like Berserk but in my eyes, Griffith = Kaworu; both of whom being characters that I want to emulate.

>>9819891
not that guy, but yes. I will acknowledge that.
You need to read more books though if you honestly think demian is a masterpiece or particularly noteworthy in Hesse's catalog.

>>9819897
gross.
i know what kind of person you are and i fucking hate you. sad vain empty n cunt.

Manfred (Byron)
Elric of Melnibone

In the face of eternal order and higher forces I wish to be defiant and sooner sacrifice myself over succumbing.

>tfw Don Quixote instead of Alonso Quejano

>>9819898
I'm going to work my way through his catalog slowly, Steppenwolf is next.

Anything else you would like to recommend?

>>9819981
they're all much better than demian.
demian was very much "of the time". Almost worthless nowadays.

>>9819990
Including Siddhartha? That novel was my introduction to Hesse but I still rate Demian over it.

I strive to emulate Demian from Charles Dickens's "Typee: A Peep at Polynesian Life"

Unironically Agamemnon

Hector for me lad, except clearly I have not curried the favor of any god's, so my life will be brief but valorous.

Smerdyakov

>>9820085
Kek.

I wouldn't ever dream of emulating a character wholesale but more than any other character I enjoy what I've learnt from Alyosha.

>>9819993
I'd say Sidhartha covers very similar themes but actually has more historical significance and is therefore better.

Slothrop got a lot of pussy... or at least he thought he did. Plus what style

>>9819903
I bet you're ugly lmao

...God...

>>9820085
Ngl, I identify with Smerdyakov a lot, but why would you seek out to emulate him? Most of his traits aren't desirable. I would think people want to emulate Ivan more than anyone.

how do you pronounce demian
is it the same in english as it is german
