Character Quiz
Jan. 15th, 2012 02:10 pmI looked through some of my old quizzes just for the purpose of finding one I'd like to do. And I decided to take this one using Hamilton Burger.
1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her. Likewise if you dislike the character. I love him! I really find it unfair that so many people don't appreciate him or have misconceptions about him. But instead of going on and on about why he's wonderful, I'll just link to this: http://hated-character.livejournal.com/438282.html
2) Is he/she important to the general plot? Yes, he is. He's Perry's main rival/sparring partner. When he's not around, there's a terrible sense of something missing.
3) Can you relate to this character at all? Do they grip you emotionally? I can relate to him, actually. He's honest and has a great deal of integrity, but he's not perfect. He gets frustrated. He yells. He blurts out things he shouldn't. Heaven knows I've made a fool of myself as he's done on occasion.
4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from? Very much. It has its flaws, but the positive trumps the negative.
5) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by their relationship with any other character(s)? (romance-wise or platonic) I do not ship him with anyone. If I were to do so, however, it would be with Mignon Germaine from season 8's The Fatal Fetish. I love their friendship so much, and I've loved expanding on it in my stories.
I also love his interaction with Perry. It was what really intrigued me about the show in the first place. In spite of their clashes in court, and Hamilton's frustration, they keep getting together as friends.
I wish he had interacted more with Della and Paul. I try to explore their interaction with him in my stories.
6) Is there anything about the character you would change? I would change that Erle Stanley Gardner never let him win. The show's writers tried to write scripts where he won sometimes, but Gardner rejected them.
7) If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how do you see yourself interacting with him/her? (Would you get along well? Fall in love with? Dislike? Friendly rivalry? etc etc) I think I would be very shy, but I would approach him anyway. He would be polite and kind, and I would go away squeeing to myself.
8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites? He is my favorite character.
9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone whose new to the fandom? I would hype up his fascinating friendship with Perry. I would also hype him up where I could, recommending his best episodes and such. But I would warn about the formula and that one has to look beyond that for the meat of the show.
10) Is this character popular with the fanbase? No, he is not. I believe he's one of the most unpopular characters. Or at least, his fans don't seem to be very vocal online. I know he's well-loved; CBS was deluged with letters from fans who wanted him back during that scandal with William Talman. I do not know, however, if any of them saw him the same way I do.
