Who are the most memorable characters in Munro short stories?

One memorable character is Juliet in 'Chance'. Her journey of self - discovery and her complex relationship with her mother make her stand out.

The character of Philip Carey in 'Of Human Bondage' is very memorable. He is a young man struggling with his physical disability, his love life, and his search for a career. His experiences of love and rejection, as well as his attempts to break free from his self - imposed 'bondage' make him stand out. Then there is Kitty in 'The Painted Veil'. She starts as a rather vain and self - centered woman but through her experiences in a cholera - stricken area, she undergoes a transformation, which makes her a memorable character. Also, Strickland in 'The Moon and Sixpence' is unforgettable. His single - minded pursuit of art, regardless of the cost to himself and those around him, is quite striking.

Nanny Ogg is quite unforgettable. She's a jolly and somewhat bawdy witch. Her songs and her carefree attitude, along with her loyalty to her friends, make her stand out. And then there's Cohen the Barbarian. He's an old - age hero who refuses to go gently into retirement. His adventures and his unorthodox ways of dealing with problems in the short stories are really engaging.

Charlie Bucket from 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' is really memorable. He's a kind and humble boy. Then there's Matilda, a very intelligent girl who stands up to the unfair adults in her life.

His complex and almost absurd ambition makes him stand out. Also, the old man in 'The Aleph' who discovers the Aleph, a point in space that contains all other points, is a character that lingers in the reader's mind due to his encounter with such a mind - boggling concept.
