What does "Some that need clarification"? Do you want more suggestions for those or are you thinking that Shakespeare characters might not go into the running?
ReplyDeleteMiss Laurie,
ReplyDeleteThe ones listed under "Some that need clarification" were too broad. I need specific characters to include in the poll.
For the Shakespeare heroines, I'd like to suggest Portia from The Merchant of Venice. And--ooh, I just thought of a good one--Olivia King Dale from Road to Avonlea. Hetty King too, why not? :) I know some people don't really like her, but I personally think she's amazing. At least in the first few seasons (which is all I've seen.)
