What are the characteristics of famous barbarians in fiction?

One famous barbarian in fiction is Conan the Barbarian. He is a character known for his great strength and survival skills in a harsh, pre - civilized world. He often battles against various foes and is a symbol of brute force and a certain kind of primitive heroism.

Yes, perhaps. There are many barbarians throughout history that could be in such a story. For example, the Vikings were often seen as barbarians. They were raiders and seafarers. They had a unique culture with their longboats and Norse mythology. If this is about a true story, it might feature some of the famous Viking leaders or their raids on different lands, which had a great impact on the history of Europe.

In a 'new barbarians novel', there may be a sense of rawness and primal energy. The settings could be on the fringes of society or in a post - apocalyptic world where the so - called 'barbarians' create their own rules. These novels might explore themes of survival, power struggles, and the human instinct in extreme situations.

One characteristic is the presence of complex and secretive characters. Spies in these fictions often have hidden identities and motives. For example, in 'The Spy Who Came in from the Cold', the main character has to navigate a web of lies and double - crosses. Another is the high - stakes plots. There are often matters of national security or international relations at risk, like in 'Casino Royale' where Bond is involved in a game that could have far - reaching consequences.

Famous fictional psychics often have abilities like telepathy, which means they can read the thoughts of others. For example, Professor X can sense the thoughts of people around him and even those far away. Another characteristic is telekinesis, as seen with Carrie. She can move things just by using her mind power. They also tend to have a heightened sense of intuition, being able to foresee events or sense danger. This is somewhat like Yoda in 'Star Wars' who can sense the coming of the dark side.

Since I'm not aware of any well - known 'Dagmars' in fiction, I can't really say much about their characteristics. But if there were, perhaps they would have traits typical of the cultures or settings in which their stories are set. For example, if in a Nordic - inspired story, a Dagmar might be strong - willed like the people often depicted in Nordic tales.

Fictional thieves usually have a certain charm about them. Take Catwoman for instance. She has an alluring quality that makes her both a villain and a character that people are drawn to. Also, they tend to be resourceful. Robin Hood had to be resourceful to survive in the forest and steal from the rich undetected. He used his knowledge of the woods to his advantage.

One characteristic is resilience. For example, Harry Potter shows great resilience in the face of all the challenges he faces without his parents. He doesn't let the fact that he's an orphan hold him back but instead uses it as motivation to fight against evil.

Famous horror fiction usually plays on our fears. It might be the fear of death, as in 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' where Dorian's pact with the devil - like portrait leads to his downfall and a kind of living death. Another characteristic is the use of vivid and often grotesque imagery. Take 'Salem's Lot' by Stephen King, with its vampires and the desolate town setting.

Famous giants in fiction often have great physical strength. For instance, Goliath was known for his intimidating size and power. They can also be depicted as either good or bad. Hagrid from Harry Potter is good - natured and friendly, while the giant in 'Jack and the Beanstalk' is more of a villain. Another characteristic is that they usually have a significant impact on the story, whether it's through their actions or just their presence.
