You're Prufrock and Other Observations!

by T.S. Eliot

Though you are very short and often overshadowed, your voice is poetic and lyrical. Dark and brooding, you see the world as a hopeless effort of people trying to impress other people. Though you make reference to almost everything, you've really heard enough about Michelangelo. You measure out your life with coffee spoons.

Which Peanuts Character are You?

You're Tacitus (Cornelius Tacitus)! Born in 56 CE, probably in Roman Gaul, you reached the praetorship and later became proconsul of Asia, so you were a pretty important guy. It didn't keep you from criticizing the ruling family (particularly Domitian). You modeled your style on Thucycides, priding yourself on your intelligence and wit, and you weren't afraid to scold the Romans by praising "noble barbarians" like those wild and wooly Germans. You rarely admitted to borrowing from anyone else, most certainly not Jewish Josephus. (You had a rather anti-semitic streak.) Your primary interest was the Roman Empire, and you wrote a work on various emperors called The Histories, of which the latter books have been lost.
