Well, in Raymond Chandler's best short stories, there are quite a few characters that stick in your mind. Take Moose Malloy from 'Farewell, My Lovely'. He's a huge, hulking figure, a man out of time in a sense. His search for his lost love Velma is both sad and a bit terrifying. And then there's General Sternwood in 'The Big Sleep'. He's an old, sick man, but his past and the power he once held still loom large over the story, and his relationship with Marlowe is complex and interesting.

More Answers

Philip Marlowe is surely one of the most memorable. He is the quintessential hard - boiled detective, with his sharp wit and moral code. His cynical view of the world and his ability to cut through the lies and corruption in the stories make him stand out. Another could be Carmen Sternwood from 'The Big Sleep'. Her wild and unpredictable nature adds a lot of intrigue to the story.

One of the most memorable characters is Marlowe, as mentioned before. He represents the tough - guy detective archetype. But also, the various criminals and femme fatales in Chandler's stories are quite memorable. For example, the bad guys who are always one step behind Marlowe but still manage to cause a lot of trouble. And the women, some of them using their charm to manipulate the situation, like in 'Red Wind' where the female characters add a layer of mystery and danger to the already tense atmosphere.
