Tintin1)—Palle Huld
The 15-year-old Danish writer and actor's 1928 voyage around the world, documented in his book Around the World in 44 Days by Palle reportedly inspired Hergé's Tintin, himself a young jet-setting fellow. As far as we can tell, Snowy2) was just a stroke3) of pure genius invention.
Alice—Alice Liddell
Famously, Alice Liddell was the inspiration and namesake4) for Lewis Carroll's children's classic Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Carroll, then known as Charles Dodgson, was close with the Liddell family, and when 10-year-old Alice begged for a story, Dodgson began to spin his famous tale of Alice and what happened after she fell through the rabbit hole. Unlike previous stories he had told her, she asked him to write it down. The rest, as they say, is history.
Severus Snape5)—John Nettleship
When Rowling admitted that Snape was "loosely based on a teacher I myself had", the press tracked down John Nettleship, who taught Rowling Chemistry at Wyedean School near Chepstow6). When first approached, he was surprised, explaining, "I was horrified when I first found out. I knew I was a strict teacher, but I didn't think I was that bad." In retrospect7), however, he admitted that he was "a short-tempered8) chemistry teacher with long hair ... [and a] gloomy, malodorous9) laboratory," which seems pretty on-point to us.
Long John Silver10)—William Ernest Henley
When Robert Louis Stevenson was trying to come up with a good villain11) for Treasure Island, he was inspired by his friend, William Ernest Henley, an English poet, critic and editor, a jovial12) fellow who had had his left leg amputated13) from the knee after a childhood bout14) of tuberculosis15). After the publication of Treasure Island, Stevenson wrote to his friend: "I will now make a confession. It was the sight of your maimed16) strength and masterfulness that begot17) Long John Silver ... the idea of the maimed man, ruling and dreaded by the sound, was entirely taken from you."
Sethe—Margaret Garner
Toni Morrison has said that she based the story of Beloved, and particularly the character of Sethe, on two articles she read about Margaret Garner, a sle who escaped captivity18) in 1856 by running away to Ohio, where it had been abolished19). When sle catchers found her and her family, she killed her youngest child, publicly stating that she would rather he her child dead than experience life in slery. In the novel, Sethe makes similar choices, to both her pride and torment20).
Ebenezer Scrooge—John Elwes
Evidence suggests that Charles Dickens based legendary miser21) Ebenezer Scrooge on the 18th century politician John Elwes, who had inherited a fortune but was loath22) to spend a single penny, preferring to live as if in poverty, squatting23) in empty apartments. Whether he went around muttering24) "bah25) humbug26)", we really can't say.
Charles Baker "Dill" Harris—Truman Capote
Harper Lee based Dill on her own childhood friend, Truman Capote. As he once said, "Mr. and Mrs. Lee, Harper Lee's mother and father, lived very near. Harper Lee was my best friend. Did you ever read her book, To Kill a Mockingbird? I'm a character in that book, which takes place in the same all town in Alabama where we lived. Her father was a lawyer, and she and I used to go to trials all the time as children. We went to the trials instead of going to the movies."

丁丁的原型:帕勒·胡尔德
1928年,15岁的丹麦作家兼演员帕勒了一次环球旅行,将其所见所闻写成了《44天环游地球》一书。据说埃尔热受此启发,才塑造出丁丁这位四处游历的年轻旅行家。但就所知,丁丁的爱犬白雪则纯为埃尔热的一次天才的创造。
爱丽丝的原型:爱丽丝·利德尔
众所周知,爱丽丝·利德尔刘易斯·卡罗尔的经典儿童文学《爱丽丝奇境漫游记》的同名人物原型。刘易斯·卡罗尔,本名查尔斯·道奇森,与利德尔一家联系甚密。10岁的爱丽丝缠着要听故事,道奇森便给她编起名叫爱丽丝的小女孩的故事,爱丽丝坠入兔子洞后的和遭遇。以前爱丽丝听听而已,但这次她却要道奇森把讲的故事写出来。这便有了后来家喻户晓的《爱丽丝奇境漫游记》。(编者注:欲知更多爱丽丝原型故事,请参阅本刊2010年5月号《爱丽丝,真有其人吗?》一文。)
西弗勒斯·斯内普的原型:约翰·内特尔希普
当罗琳透露说斯内普人物“大致是以教过我的一位老师为原型塑造的”,媒体随即锁定此人为约翰·内特尔希普——罗琳在切普斯托附近的威迪安高中上学时的化学老师。记者次采访他时,内特尔希普一脸惊讶,解释说:“我得知那个斯内普时吓了一跳。我知道我的确是个严厉的老师,但也不至于那么糟糕吧。”不过,忆起当年,他坦承“当化学老师那会儿留着一头长发,脾气暴躁……有间阴森难闻的实验室。”这番话似乎听来句句说在点子上。
郎·约翰·西尔弗的原型:
威廉·欧内斯特·亨利
当罗伯特·路易斯·史蒂文森为在小说《金银岛》中描绘一名完美的恶棍而绞尽脑汁时,他想到了的朋友威廉·欧内斯特·亨利,英国诗人、评论家兼编辑。这位乐天派年幼时染上肺结核,动过截肢手术,失去了左腿膝盖的。《金银岛》出版后,史蒂文森写信给亨利说:“我现在实话告诉你,正是你的残缺和专横让我塑造出了朗·约翰·西尔弗人物……身有残缺、讲话厉声厉气且极具支配性的男子灵感完全来自你。”
塞丝的原型:玛格丽特·加纳
托尼·莫里森曾表示,小说《宠儿》的创作,尤其是塞丝人物角色的创作,读到的讲述黑奴玛格丽特·加纳的两篇文章。1856年,加纳挣脱奴役,逃到已废除奴隶制的俄亥俄州。当抓捕黑奴者加纳一家后,加纳动手杀死的幼子,明示宁愿让孩子死去也不愿让其终身为奴。小说中,塞丝也做出了同样的选择,这既让她扬起傲骨,亦让她痛不欲生。
埃比尼泽·斯克鲁奇的原型:约翰·埃尔威斯
事实,查尔斯·狄更斯笔下那个大名鼎鼎的守财奴埃比尼泽·斯克鲁奇的原型原来是18世纪的政客约翰·埃尔威斯。此人继承大笔财产,却宁愿守在空房装贫作苦,也不舍得花掉子儿。至于他逢人便骂“呸,骗子!”真的不得而知。
查尔斯·贝克·“迪尔”·哈里斯的原型:杜鲁门·卡波特
哈珀·李以儿时的玩伴杜鲁门·卡波特为原型塑造了(《杀死一只知更鸟》)迪尔人物。卡波特曾说:“哈珀·李的父母住得很近。哈珀·李以前是我最要好的朋友。你有看过她写的《杀死一只知更鸟》?我那本书人物。书中讲的故事发生在阿拉巴马州的小镇,那儿正是生活过的地方。她的父亲是一名律师,所以小时候常去法庭听审案,而去影院看电影。”
