Anonymous:  top five female characters in literature?

out of Literature, capital L? (plays not included for reasons of you could just ask me my top five Shakespeare dames)

1. Tatiana from Eugene Onegin, narratively conscious princess of my heart
2. Becky Sharp from Vanity Fair, because of course
3. Anna Karenina, titular and too incandescent to be reined in or moralized by her own damn author
4. Helen of Troy, inscrutable love of my life
5. BLANCHE INGRAM, JANE EYRE. WHOOPSIE.
