For @faintingheroine, who has sometimes posted about this subject. I once posted a similar poll about another fictional TB victim, Violetta in La Traviata. Of course the simple answer is that the disease is caused by bacteria and was incurable in the 19th century. But in fiction, fatal illness can be symbolic, as well as caused by unrealistic factors due to the author's limited medical knowledge.

I know that some of these categories don’t cancel each other out but try to pick one option.

What does Watsonian vs Doylist explanations mean?
You can think that some or all of these options are simultaneously true, but pick the one that comes to your mind the first.

Only vote if you have read the book or read my posts about it so much that you know it quite well. Don’t just pick your favorite work out of these. You can look at what me and others have said about these comparisons in their respective tags.
I am sure that I am forgetting someone with how many characters I have compared to her over the years, so you can use the “Other” option liberally. The character you liken to her doesn’t have to be from another literary work, all the ones I have picked except Noriko are from literary works but you can pick “Other” if you liken her to a character from TV shows, films or games too.
I didn’t put “Snow White” since I liken her story to this fairy tale in an archetypal sense, I don’t think that there is a character similarity.
Please explain your reasoning for the options you choose.
I must say that I am quite excited about this poll.

@princesssarisa once said this about Nihal and the Catherines from Wuthering Heights:
Tumblr media
And I myself said this about Nihal and Linton Heathcliff.
It is interesting that Cathy Linton and Nihal share similar upbringings but Cathy Linton’s character is all about progress and new beginnings and rejuvenation whereas Nihal I think is more about a kind of stasis.
Anyway here is a poll because Tumblr gave me the power to make a poll about whatever I want:
I would like you to explain your reasoning for choosing the option you picked if you can, especially because this is an incredibly incredibly niche poll which 5 or so people who read both novels can answer.

***
Taxonomy of Hair Colors:
Catherine is brunette, Isabella is blonde. Bihter is brunette, Nihal is blonde. Hanka is brunette, Jagna is blonde. Both Hatice and Nigar and Fumiko and Yoko are brunettes.
***
I think I will go with “Bihter - Nihal” because it is the only one completely without closure.
Catherine and Isabella are from the English classic novel Wuthering Heights. While Catherine is rather vicious to Isabella in revealing her crush to Heathcliff, Isabella still cries after Catherine’s death and even kisses her portrait alongside her brother’s before leaving for London. It is not that vicious. Also it is the only one here where there’s barely any rivalry, Heathcliff hates and is disgusted with Isabella.
Fumiko and Yoko are from the post-WW2 Japanese retelling of Wuthering Heights, A True Novel. Fumiko is the Nelly character, Yoko is the Catherine Earnshaw, there is no Isabella equivalent. Just like in Wuthering Heights, Fumiko (Nelly) partially causes Yoko’s (Catherine’s) death through her willful negligence, but here Fumiko (Nelly) is in love with the Heathcliff equivalent (unlike the Nelly in WH who wasn’t in love with anyone) so there is an element of romantic jealousy to her negligence. Pretty vicious, but they mostly got along in life, and Fumiko still feels sad after her death.
Hatice and Nigar are from the Turkish soap opera “Magnificent Century”. Hatice is the only character here who actively consciously tried to get her romantic rival killed, but later Hatice and Nigar get into a weird sort of understanding and seem to reconcile, and they are not that vicious to each other in general.
Hanka and Jagna are from the Polish animated film “The Peasants” based on the classic Polish novel of the same name. They are pretty awful to each other throughout the film but at the end of the movie Hanka basically says “God save you” to Jagna and smiles and is deliberately absent from Jagna’s final tragedy.
Bihter and Nihal are from the Turkish classic novel Aşk-ı Memnu. And there is no reconciliation or understanding at the end for them, and they are both pretty vengeful by the end. Nihal seems to not care about Bihter’s death. So I will pick their option.
