hi this happened to me a few days ago. say for example you have a book that you really want to read but in the process you find out that the name of one of the main character in it is the same as that of someone that you kinda dislike. would you continue reading it? discard the book? ignore the name? what would you do? i am curious as to your take in this ^_^. tnx

I'd continue reading it and probably delight in anything bad that happens to him.

actually, it is just a name. there are many people that had the same name n the society. so i would ignore the name and treat it as a new person, someone i had never met. if i were to treat them as the same person, all the flaws of the one i dislike will be placed against the other that goes by the same name. it is definitely unfair to them. so i would still continue reading it.

I would read the book anyway. Maybe, secretly hoping that that character has bad things happen to it Since it isn't a book about the person you dislike why not read the book anyways since you seem to really want to read it

If that's the case, then, I'll pay no heed to the title. The title is only an introduction to the story anyway. I'll just ignore it and proceed to read the story, as it appeals to me. ^_^

I never care much about the characters name in a novel. They are just fiction and I dont mixup them with real life.

You must really hate that person to discard the book or even to stop reading it. What difference does it make honestly? If you want to read the book then just read it. Why care about the characters' name?
