My favorite literary character would probably have to be Heathcliff from "Wuthering Heights." I read the story my senior year of high school, and really enjoyed the book. I have grown up hearing how great a story it is, but had never had never read it to see for myself. In it, Heathcliff, an orphan, is adopted by Mr. Earnshaw and is taken to live at Wuthering Heights. He then grows to fall in love with Mr. Earnshaw's daughter, Catherine, even though they were raised as brother and sister. Catherine however desires a luxurious lifestyle and even though she loves Heathcliff, she marries Edgar Linton instead. Heathcliff basically lives his life loving Catherine even though she is with someone else. Heathcliff is my favorite literary character not only because he is a very popular character in a classic novel, but also because he works hard throughout his life to be with the one woman who means the world to him.
