Which LHOTP Character are you most like?

(Sorry if this has been done before)
I really want to say I'm most like Charles but honestly I think I'm more like Harriet.
How about you?

Oh wow, Harriet?! Well, kudos to you for your honesty!


I would have said that I am most like Ma, but my best friend told me awhile back that I am definitely more like Laura, which is cool. Kind of funny that I can't even see that about myself. But yeah. I guess I'm Laura.

I don't really think I'm much like any of the characters. (Amy, I can see Laura and Ma in you. You have the spirit of Laura, and the kindness and wisdom of Ma.)

Aw.....thank you Savannah! What a beautiful compliment! The same could be said for you though.


(LOL, I love that 'thinking' emoticon! )

Well, Harriet IS honest. She speaks her mind. Opinionated. But in the end even her mind can be changed and be forced to reflect upon 'her' worldview and consider others. I think she is the most complex charactor on Little House.
She is also the 'relief valve' and prime mover in the morality issues the show dealt with. And comic relief. Who cannot watch her and shake their head, smiling?
I believe the part of Harriet is needed in every good story. I don't want to call her a villain but she speaks to a part (hopefully small) in all of us, as humans.

Me too!! I saved it and plan on using it on other sites I frequent. Thank you Savannah. (Beautiful name, btw.)

I'm a mix between Laura and Mary! What about that? (And it's true!)

So true! Thanks for posting a so interesting opinion. Harriet is a very complicated character, and a very complex one. She was not open-minded, but she was sincere and, her sould wasn't that bad. I think she was impulsive, and sometimes, she would do thinks she didn't meant to. She would never shut her mouth before people, and had no shame to say what she wanted to say...Even if she could be extrem,ely wrong at times!

Either Albert or Charles, I'm not sure.

You make an excellent argument for Harriet, Silent Partner, and I agree with you completely. Especially about her being the most complex. I love the episodes where we get to see the 'other side' of Harriet...for example, her loving ways with Sampson (I think that was his name?) during the episode where she helps to move the blind children. And, the one where her ex-fiance' comes to town. There are others as well, but those are the two I can think of right now. In fact, this would be a good topic for a thread.

It's her downright brutal honesty that can get her into trouble.

I suppose Laura. What do you all think?

hmm..mary i think.
