1. The Nightingale Nightingale : is the protagonist of "The Nightingale and the
and The Rose by Rose." A romantic by nature, she has spent much of her life
Oscar Wilde singing about love, waiting for the day she will encounter it in
real life. When she overhears the Student lamenting his
lovelorn state, she resolves to bring him the red rose he needs
to secure the girl's affection, sacrificing her life to stain its petals
red with her blood. The Nightingale, in other words, is not only a
character but also a symbol of the ideal lover and the ideal
artist, both of whom give without expecting anything in return.

2. The Outcasts of John Oakhurst : is protagonist and he is a character of noble


Poker Flat by Bret qualities, John is exiled not due to his unsavory nature, but out
Harte of revenge and spite. When he successfully wins a large
amount of money from the leaders of the town, they have him
permanently banished. Various instances throughout the story
show John to be a character with good moral values. He even
insists on returning Tom’s money to him after winning at cards.

3. The Adventure Sherlock Holmes : is one of the most famous fictional


of the Empty characters of all time. But being famous doesn't necessarily
House by Arthur mean he's the best understood character of all time. Fame can
Conan Doyle have the opposite effect, and since Holmes has been
interpreted so many times, it can be hard to tell exactly who this
guy really is.
So, from 3 MC I described. I compare that from 3 mc it has different characteristics:
1. Nightingle is romantic girl, she resolves to bring the student the red rose he needs to
secure the girl's affection, sacrificing her life to stain its petals red with her blood.
2. John Oakhurst is exiled not due to his nature, but out of revenge and spite. When he
successfully wins a large amount of money from the leaders of the town, they have him
permanently banished.
3. Sherlock Holmes is a smart detective, but that does not mean he can always
understand all situations unless he is looking for hard evidence. That's what made him
famous by readers, including myself.
