Jay Gatsby (the Great Gatsby) and Stephen Dedalus (Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Ulysses) In a horror novel, I'd say Van Helsing from Dracula and Mammoulian from Clive Barker's the Damnation Game. Comics wise Rorschach from Watchmen and the Joker of course.

This is an opinion only, but I hated The Great Gatsby. I actually founf all the characters to be a bit dry, and the story overwhelmingly rediculous and dull.

However, I'm an the minority.

Snow falling and night falling fast, oh fast
In a field I looked into going past,
And the ground almost covered smooth in snow,
But a few weeds and stubble showing last.

The woods around it have it--it is theirs.
All the animals are smothered in their lairs.
I am too absent-spirited to count;
The loneliness incluces me unawares.

And lonely as it is, that loneliness
Will be more lonely ere it will be less--
A blanker whiteness of benighted snow
With no expression, nothing to express.

They cannot scare me with their empty spaces
Between stars--on stars where no human race is.
I have it in me so much nearer home
To scare myself with my own desert places.

Desert Places--Robert Frost

Anita Blake comes to mind right of the bat.
