Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
Various works of Shakespeare (Romeo and Juliet, King Lear, Macbeth), but not Shakespeare's "histories" (Richard II, Henry V, which are depictions of actual people)

Jhenderson777 listing

Here are the ones that I thought of on the other article. They are now copy and pasted here. I striked out the ones that you just mentioned here.

Classic book stories that are retold in adaptions. Not sure that qualifies as "multimedia franchises":

Oliver Twist
Pinocchio
Robinson Crusoe
Swiss Family Robinson
The Wind in the Willows
Moby-Dick
Ben-Hur
The Pilgrim's Progress
The Picture of Dorian Gray
Gulliver's Travels
Many Jules Verne works (Note: one you already mentioned)*Les Misérables
The Three Musketeers
A Christmas Carol
The Count of Monte Cristo

American Literature

~~Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn~~, The Prince and the Pauper and possible more of Mark Twain's works.
Sleepy Hollow
The Great Gatsby
Gone with the Wind
Little Women

etc. etc. etc.

Note: Since almost all of these characters are in the public domain. They have even joined together in media like The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen even though they had nothing to do with each other.

I am also curious about the thoughts of inclusion of Shakespeare work (Like Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet) and folklore (~~Robin Hood~~ along with many tales from Hans Christain Anderson and the Grim Brothers. Popular Fable characters have known to come together such as stories like this and many other work) and even poetry (Beowulf). 17:45, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

Yes, exactly. Also, Dickens has some other breakout works besides A Christmas Carol. Probably Oliver Twist is the next biggest. bd2412 T 18:00, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am guessing Zorro is public domain? If so he belongs. No question. Jhenderson⁷⁷⁷ 18:24, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Judging by the copyright section. I guess not. Jhenderson⁷⁷⁷ 18:26, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would say that Zorro is in the public domain based on publication dates. If someone else is claiming otherwise, let them prove it in court. bd2412 T 18:42, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You are free to add more on my list like you did. I agree Monte Cristo is another one. I definitely think there is more. On this list I tried to add all the book but that doesn't count folklore, stage works, poem/ nursery rhyme characters, mythological and historical characters.

Also I am well aware that historical characters don't count by the reading of the article.Jhenderson⁷⁷⁷ 19:52, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
