I don't know how I started thinking about this today, but literary deaths are on my mind. There are so many that make for great fiction and will always evoke great emotion from me, no matter how many times I read the books. Hopefully these are well known enough that I won't be spoiling anything for anyone. Read on with caution...
Johnny Cade from The Outsiders
Beth March from Little Women
Tom Robinson from To Kill a Mockingbird
Severus Snape from Harry Potter
Tommy Ross from Carrie
Then, there is the one death that I will just never get over. There is one death that will always make me, not only cry, but bawl my eyes out. It's the one death that makes me want to scold the author, as much as I adore her writing. And that is the death of Fred Weasley.
I may or may not be fighting back tears right now just thinking about it...
I'm just grateful I'm not the only one who gets attached to fictional characters.
