Man, you are that guy... but sure it easier to be enamored with fictional child character. You are definitely protecting. No hard feeling though...tanner87cbs wrote: ↑24 Mar 2020, 10:54 I hate to be that guy, but Claire's character really annoyed me personally. I thought she was portrayed with the characteristics of a younger child than she was. Maybe I am jaded for raising a 7-year-old girl and trying to get her to stop acting like she is 2 at time .

I enjoyed most of her antics, but the Maaa thing drove me nuts.tanner87cbs wrote: ↑24 Mar 2020, 10:54 I hate to be that guy, but Claire's character really annoyed me personally.

Oh yeah, I really disliked that Maaa thing too. I know that for the author that was important but for me it came across annoying.Everydayadventure15 wrote: ↑28 Mar 2020, 19:14I enjoyed most of her antics, but the Maaa thing drove me nuts.tanner87cbs wrote: ↑24 Mar 2020, 10:54 I hate to be that guy, but Claire's character really annoyed me personally.

Great point. The more I think about it, you are right. In general, kids are shy, maybe Claire is the exemption to that rule.Oziafricana wrote: ↑28 Mar 2020, 12:36 I might be the odd ball but Claire's character for me was at times not realistic for a 7 year old. I didn't find her total trust of Seamus at the end credible. From a game of hide and seek, she follows him, with no fear, all the way to the castle and even when she hears her mother's voice and the terror below, she responds like it is still a game when obviously her life was at stake.

I really liked her spunky, unique nature. The fact that she likes ghost stories as much as she likes fairy tales made her that much more interesting. She seemed like such a little adult at times, but there were also several moments when you knew she was still a child.Ferdinand_otieno wrote: ↑01 Mar 2020, 02:03 The character of Claire while refreshing and realistic, was vital to the plot by her constant mannerism and childlike behaviour. I found that she was the main source of humour in the story with naming her repunzel doll "Punzey", referring to Hillary as "Maaaa", and many of her mannerisms.
What are your thoughts on Claire? Do you agree that she was the main source of humour in the story?
