> Why do you say Jane is your favorite female character? I wouldn't pick > her because we really don't have a good grasp on her On the contrary - in some ways I think we get to know Jane better than anyone else. It's certainly less of a superficial knowledge than of Sally Hayes or even Phoebe. I love all the little details that tell us so much about Jane without telling us anything - like the famous kings in the back row. It is true that she comes to us completely filtered through Holden's consciousness - but then again, when you think about it, that's how *all* the characters reach us.
