Fictional characters you forgot existed
Has anyone else ever read a classic novel and then forgotten that certain characters existed in it?
When I revisited Pride and Prejudice many years after I first read it in high school, I found that I had forgotten about Charlotte Lucas, Lady Catherine, and Mary Bennet. I vaguely remembered that there was another Bennet sister besides Jane, Elizabeth, Kitty, and Lydia, but I completely forgot her name and personality. And the existence of Charlotte and Lady Catherine I forgot completely.
Poor Mary. Not only ignored by her family and by society because she's both the middle child and the least pretty of five sisters, but forgotten by me too.
Can anyone else name a classic novel character they completely forgot about?
