What is your favorite cast of characters in literature, /lit/? Obviously we all have our favorite individual characters, but what is your favorite group of them? What is your best example of a cast of characters where the group is more than the sum of its parts, where the entire whole is greater than its individual members?

Pic related, the crew of the Pequod in Moby-Dick is a lot of fun.

Agreed on the Pequod crew. I’d also say the characters in David Copperfield are pretty great overall. Even the villains are fun, probably cause they’re so umble
