A number of fictional characters have been described as having tomboy characteristics.〔(“I am no lady!”: the tomboy in children's fiction )〕〔(Tomboys: A Literary and Cultural History )〕 ==Literature== * Arya Stark from the novel series ''A Song of Ice and Fire'' by George R. R. Martin (and the adapted TV series, ''Game of Thrones'') * Caddie Woodlawn from Carol Ryrie Brink's ''Caddie Woodlawn'' * Emerson Watts from Meg Cabot's ''Airhead'' Trilogy〔http://www.kidzworld.com/article/16132-airhead-book-review/〕 * Evie Lilith Burns from Salman Rushdie's ''Midnight's Children'' * Frankie Addams from ''The Member of the Wedding'' (also the 1952 film) * Georgina (George) Kirrin from Enid Blyton's ''The Famous Five''〔Purves, Libby "Today's tomboys not getting on so famously," ''Times Educational Supplement'' 4753 (9/7/2007): 27. Abstract: "The author, a British novelist and broadcaster, comments on social pressures on girls in 21st-century Great Britain. She begins with a reference to a planned play in which author Enid Blyton's ''Famous Five'' characters are shown as adults, and she wonders how tomboy George will be portrayed. She states that modern girls are expected to be so many things, including sporty, brave, and beautiful and wonders if idleness and indifference are the few remaining forms of rebellion".〕〔David Rudd, ''Children's Literature in Education'' 26.3 (Sep95): 185. Abstract: "Examines the sexism issue in the ''Famous Five'' series of children's books by Enid Blyton. Critics' comments on the series; Focus on the tomboy character named George; Characterizations; Gender struggles in the book".〕 * Gypsy Breynton from the ''Gypsy Breynton'' series of books by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps〔 "Likewise, Gypsy is transformed from a rough-and-tumble tomboy into a selfless surrogate mother to her older brother."〕 * Idgie Threadgoode from ''Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café'' (also the 1991 film) *Josephine "Jo" March from ''Little Women''〔Ashford, Richard K. "TOMBOYS & SAINTS: Girls' Stories of the Late Nineteenth Century," ''School Library Journal'' 26.5 (Jan80): 23. Abstract: "Focuses on literature about American girls in middle 19th century. Social conditions during the middle 19th century; ''Little Women'', by Louisa May Alcott; Susan Warner's ''The Wide, Wide World''; Ann Douglas's ''The Feminization of American Culture''."〕 * Jean Louise "Scout" Finch from ''To Kill A Mockingbird'' *Kristin "Kristy" Amanda Thomas from the ''The Baby-Sitters Club'' series *Leslie Burke from Katherine Paterson's ''Bridge to Terabithia'' * Nan from ''Little Men'' * Rachel ("Hellfire") Hotchkiss from Mark Twain's ''Hellfire Hotchkiss''〔''Hellfire Hotchkiss'', Mark Twain in ''Satires and Burlesques'', University of California, 1967. The character's creator explicitly refers to her as a "tomboy," and this is echoed by the volume's editor. "Hellfire" Hotchkiss was introduced as a female counterpart to Oscar "Thug" Carpenter, whose gentleness makes him seem feminine by the standards of that time and place. Hellfire herself describes their difficulties in life as being due to their "misplaced sexes" (Everett H. Emerson, ''Mark Twain: A Literary Life'', pp. 231-232). See also Linda A. Morris, "The Eloquent Silence in 'Hellfire Hotchkiss", in ''The Mark Twain Annual 3 (2005), pp. 43–51.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of tomboys in fiction」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
