What makes best friends in fiction so memorable?

Their loyalty. Like in the story of Charlotte and Wilbur in 'Charlotte's Web'. Charlotte is so loyal to Wilbur that she saves his life with her web - writing. This kind of loyalty is very touching and makes the friendship stand out.

The contrast in their personalities also plays a big role. Take Calvin and Hobbes. Calvin is a rambunctious and imaginative boy, while Hobbes is his stuffed tiger come to life (in Calvin's eyes). Their differences create a lot of fun and interesting interactions. It's these unique interactions that make their friendship so memorable.

These stories are memorable because they are often moments of pure, unadulterated fun. When my friend thought there was a bear outside the tent, his panicked reaction was not only funny but also a moment that we still talk about years later. It was a shared experience filled with laughter and that's what makes it so memorable.

The best gunslingers often have a strong sense of justice or a code they live by. Take 'The Man with No Name'. He may seem like a loner, but he has his own idea of right and wrong and enforces it with his guns. This moral aspect combined with their gun - slinging abilities makes them memorable.

For Remy in 'Ratatouille', it's his passion for cooking that makes him memorable. He doesn't let his species hold him back. Auguste Gusteau is remembered for his inspiring quotes about food. And Sweeney Todd, in a rather dark way, is unforgettable because of his unique 'business' model in the kitchen.

Their loyalty. Just like in real life, loyalty in fictional dogs is a very appealing trait. For example, Lassie is always loyal to her family and will do anything to protect them. It makes the audience love and remember these characters.

The best fictional doctors often face extraordinary situations. Take Dr. Frankenstein. His attempt to create life is something no real - life doctor would do. This extreme situation makes him a memorable fictional doctor. Their moral and ethical dilemmas also contribute. Dr. Jekyll's struggle between his good and evil sides is a classic example that sticks in our minds.

Many of the best fictional androids are memorable because they make us question what it means to be alive or human. Like Ava in 'Ex Machina'. She manipulates the human characters to achieve her own freedom, blurring the lines between human and machine intelligence, and that's what makes her so unforgettable.

A best friends story is memorable when it involves selfless acts. For example, if one friend sacrifices something important for the other, like a job opportunity or a chance to travel. It shows the depth of their bond.

Their strength. For example, Celie in 'The Color Purple' endures so much but still finds her voice. It's this resilience that makes her memorable. Also, their unique personalities. Janie in 'Their Eyes Were Watching God' has her own desires and dreams in a time when black women were often restricted. Her determination to pursue her own path is what stays with the readers.
