If you could dine with any literary character, who would it be?

I agree with Cherryfly on every character she named! Especially Pippin... but I'm not going to go there today! I would also love to have dinner with Neb from Brian Jacques' "Castaways of the Flying Dutchman". He's awesome, even though he IS hundreds of years old!

Aragorn and Sam from The Lord of the Rings.
Willy Wonka from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (I'd imagine dessert would be ammaaazzzing).
Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler from Gone with the Wind.

I subscribed to this thread a long time ago, and I still can't think of any fictional character I would want to have dinner with. I guess I will give up and just write that I would love to sit down to lunch with Corrie ten Boom, and I would hope I am still listening to her through dinner! What a lady!

OK...
I have a few :)
Instead of Mr. Darcy from P&P...I'd like to have tea with Lizzie, about 15 years into their marriage. I'd like to see what kind of mother she became, and if society accepted her into Mr. Darcy's circles.
I'd like to have dinner with Meg from Madeline L'Engle's time quartet, and her mom as well. Likely after Meg became an adult.
I'd like to have dinner with Carlisle and Esme Cullen from the Twilight series. I'd like to discuss matters of faith with Carlisle and how he reconciled being a vampire with his Christian (Angligan) background - and how he taught himself to avoid human blood, even deciding to become a doctor. And I'd like to hear about Carlisle and Esme's experiences in becoming adoptive "parents" taking young vampires under their wing, teaching them to follow their ways instead of their vampire instincts.

Shylock, from Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice
Elizabeth-Jane, from Hardy's The Mayor of Castorbridge.
Kurt Wagner (Nightcrawler) from the X-Men comic books.....does that count as a literary character?
Roger Chillingworth, from The Scarlet Letter.
Professor McGonagall, from the Harry Potter books.
Grendel's mother, from Beowulf, although I would be concerned about her table manners and that she may consider me as a menu item.
edited to add - Ramona Quimby as an adult, looking back at her childhood, from all the Beverly Cleary books.

This is what I would say. If I wasn't married, my first choice would be Mr Darcy... Lizzie is my all time favorite character. We're very like, so we'd probably hit it off.
Currently, I am reading Just Jane by Moser about Jane Austen. I would love to sit down with Jane.
I would also like to speak to Queen Wealththeow from Beowulf. I'd love to talk home and hearth with her...as well as get her take on the story.
It's funny... I love books and classic novels, but I would really rather speak with the authors than the fictional creations.

Well I would have dinner with all the people from Finish Strong by Dan Green. Although, these aren't fictional characters, they're really people. But they share their experience with overcoming challenges and they sound like some amazing people to meet.
