This Quirky Question has two parts.
1) Take the quiz & tell us how you did.
2) Tell us your favorite character from the pen of Charles Dickens and why.
Do either or both, it's your choice.

Quiz: 10/10- I surprised myself with that because I was sure one at least was wrong.

Favourite characters: there are so many, Aunt Betsey Trotwood, Tom Pinch, Dick Swiveler, the doll's dressmaker, old Mr Riah, Kit Nubbles, Newman Noggs, the Cheerybles...


For his name (and that alone) though, it would have to be Mr Chocumchild

Frances (francesab) | 411 comments 9/10-missed Skimpole.

I'd have to go with Aunt Betsey Trotwood as my favourite character-stern, eccentric, smart and with a heart of gold.

Everyman | 2507 comments 9/10 Missed Madeline Bray, didn't recognize the name so assumed it was from Edwin Drood which is the only Dickens I haven't read.

Natalie Tyler (doulton) | 187 comments I got 10/10. I love Sairey Gamp and her sidekick, Mrs. Harris.

Dickens certainly had a way with memorable characters. :D

Think my favourite character is Smike but I've only read extracts and watched the tv adaptation- but I'll never be able to read it now because of Smike. Won't say why due to spoilers.

I realise but do read it- it is a very enjoyable read and the bits you want to avoid come only later on in the book.

Everyman | 2507 comments Here is one writers list of Dickens's 10 most memorable characters. Smike is #10.

Em✨ Quiz - 7/10 - Not too bad considering I haven't finished reading all his books :)

My favorite character has got to be Lady Dedlock from Bleak House - her story has so many layers.

Martin Olesh | 39 comments I got 8 out of 10. My favorite character is Pip. I read Great Expectations when I was a teen and I identified with Pip and his story. I felt myself along side him in his experiences.
