Best Answer

There are more characters in English Literature than one could possibly enumerate in one answer from Beowulf and his liege-men to Chaucer's pilgrims, to the dramatic characters of Marlowe and Shakespeare; to the characters in the novels of Thackeray and Dickens, the Bronte sisters, Jane Austin; the well-made plays and stories of Maugham and Rattigan; the stream of consciousness creations of Virginia Woolf; the angry young men of Osbourne; the leftist lunatics of Bond and Griffiths, right on up to the present; and that is not including the Irish and Scots writers, all creating memorable characters in memorable stories, more than one person could type in one answer.
