Female Leads in English Literature who need Psychiatric help

We all love fictional heroines, ultimate girl crushes, ideal heights, faces, Personalities , perfect guy who meets a perfect girl and they eventually have a perfect happily after *I know there are too many perfects* . Although there are quite a few great, legendary female leads who have made their impact on history *ehm ehm maybe Hermoine, Katniss , Annabeth and Elizabeth Bennet, the list goes on*; there are still quite a few who make me go "BAZOOKA". 

 Catherine from Wuthering Heights 
The first female fictional character blessed to become part of this blog is none other then the legendary self centered and PTSD patient, Catherine Earnshaw/Linton from Wuthering heights. Throughout the novel, she is depicted as a free spirited soul and the wild child of the Earnshaws. Well how ideal isn't it, because seemingly these days she fits right into the category of a "QUIRKY" girl. However, as the story advances Catherine grows extremely selfish and narcissistic. She's torn to chose between her two lovers, Heathcliff and Linton. Although she loves Heathcliff she choose Linton well can you blame her ; the boy had the looks and money. Okay it's understandable that you would want to marry someone that would enhance your status BUT C'MON DON'T MAKE HIS LIFE MISERABLE?!Catherine spares no effort to torture her sweet and understanding husband along with her prior lover as well. Moreover, Catherine dies in the end, ruining the lives of basically everyone she encountered. So the crux of the Catherine is 
"Catherine Becahri dukhoon ki mari, Heathcliff aye dukhoon se bechaye, aur akhir mein seedha upar ley jaye"



Juliet Capulet from Romeo and Juliet
Don't even get me started on how much this character annoys me*no offence*. Tell me one thing right about this character, she literally choose a creepy guy over her family, basically threw away her entire family who'd been by her side for 13 years for a guy she made eye contact with for 5 seconds. And to top it off, she married the creepy dude within a night. Most importantly, took her own life at such a young age. Well you can't blame her as it is said in a very famous song:
"Dil kya kare jab kisi ko kisi se pyaar ho jaye" 

 





Clary Fairchild from Shadowhunters


my face when I read Shadowhunters

Before starting my long rant I want to dedicate a few verses to  this IMMORTAL character from the MORTAL instruments :
"Clary Clary Clary
O Why don't you know
who to marry?"
The above verse says itself says a lot about Clary. Now before all of you come and pull out my hair (which are already few in number), I just want to say that Clary *in my opinion* was the most annoying, indecisive, dependent and confused female lead ever. Like she couldn't choose between Jace and Simon, while if you ask me if we were all given the choice, we would've obviously voted for Jace in a Heartbeat. 


In conclusion, these are only myths and fictional characters, you like them or dislike them. However, life is not a fictional book so learn from our feisty female leads and try to be a better person by not making the same mistakes they did. And for these females I'd like to provide a link, please check it out:

The Best Place in the World

Image
The sky was alternating from hues of glistening and sparkling black to azure blue as I awoke during the wee hours of the morning, observing the sights of the Prophet’s magnificent city unfold right before my eyes. Even during the break of dawn, there were throngs of people trekking in the streets, folks of all ages heading towards the mosque with the Green dome to pray the Morning prayer. On our route towards the green dome, there were street vendors selling traditional Roasted Chicken, Kofta Kebabs and every other Arabic street food you can think of. The aroma of the exotic spices and freshly roasted chicken was as crisp as newly picked vegetables and made the atmosphere as warm as newly baked bread, hot from the oven. The savory aroma of the Shawarmas was so intoxicating that it made my mouth water. From the It tar shops in the corner, the perfumed fragrance of cinnamon, along with botanic materials and a hint of dense date palm oil drifted through the air, leaving a pungent yet plea...

A sojourn from one mystic poet to another

Image
" O ut beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there.  When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about". With the right hand raised towards the sky, in complete surrender to The Cosmic Ego. Left hand, in prostration towards the ground, the Earth of The Cosmic Ego. Revolving from left to right, around their hearts to enfold all of humanity with love. " Some call you love, I call you the King of Love, You are beyond imaginings, taking me places  I can't even dream of. O ruler of my heart, wherever you go... don't go without me." Rumi The art of the whirling dervish dates back to decades ago, to what is today's modern day Turkey. This art was developed by a man loved and admired by all those who encountered him. A man who, initially found the answers to the Earth's complex mysteries in books. Life for him was dotted with success, he was the most praised ...

Me and My Childhood Fantasies (Harry Potter Version)

Image
Sometimes you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together until, all living humans have read that book. That's the amazing and sensational feeling I had when I read Harry Potter for the first time. To me it wasn't just ANY fictional book, it opened up a door to a whole new world.    The day I turned 11 I would wait outside our house for any sign of an owl with my Hogwarts acceptance letter, days were spent in endurance and persistence waiting for my Hogwarts Letter. I would sit near the window sill, and daydream about how it would be like to go shopping for my wizardly supplies in Diagon Alley. That was when I didn't know the truth of the world and my IQ was exceptionally low. The day I figured out that I wouldn't ever go to my dream school was *no exaggeration* one of the most gloomy days of my life. My mom helped me get over Hogwarts Phobia my promising that I could go...
