To celebrate Banned Books Week , Tumblr user Jubliant Antics! created some wonderful thought-provoking mugshots of beloved literary characters.
Holden Caulfield, The Catcher in the Rye
Banned for: Strong language, sexual references, and for encouraging rebellion.
Alaska Young, Looking for Alaska
Banned for: Strong language, drug use, and sexually explicit situations.
Hester Prynne, The Scarlet Letter
Banned for: The book has been called “pornographic and obscene,” yet there is no sex in the book. Really it’s banned because of the plot: Hester's adulterous affair with Arthur Dimmesdale and the resulting pregnancy.
Janie Crawford, Their Eyes Were Watching God
Banned for: Sexual content and explicit language.
