Famous Whores in Literature

A) Who are the most famous prostitutes in literature? Obviously Sonya in Crime & Punishment, but who else?

B) I also noticed a reoccurring trope in many of my favorite books. In....

1. John Fante's Ask The Dust
2. Memories of My Melancholy Whores
Novella by Gabriel García Márquez
3. The Catcher In The Rye

And I know there's more (maybe even Crime & Punishment), I just can't think of it off the top of my head. (Hopefully someone can help me here.) But in all of these books the main character hired a prostitute and then didn't sleep with her.

Why? What does this signify? What is the symbolism in that? What does it mean? Why is it in so many great books?

It shows the protagonist is isolated and debased but can be redeemed.

Nora from the book "the power of the dog" by Don Winslow. I'd marry her in a heartbeat

All women are queens

Don't you dare call Sonya a whore.

Esther van Gobseck in Balzac's Spledours and Miseries..

>All women are queens.
You sure about that, hoss?

Ha ha, its true, i think Nana got the crown here

>not including Madame Bovary

I remember a time that whenever I saw a pic like this I had to whip my dick out and beat the meat. After a few years of Yea Forums and reading the classics, all I feel is moral repulsion and overall disgust. I think I'm finally protected from the evil powers of female seduction, these harpies hold no power over me now. YES.

is that demi lovato?

Maria Magdalene

Are all men monarchs as well?
If not, then you are saying that woman are more valuable/important/etc. by default, which is clearly sexist.
However, if so, why even have a gender limit in your assertion at all? Why not say that all people should be treated with more dignity than to be called a whore?

Accept the fact user. She sucky sucky to make a bucky bucky.

Imagine getting baited this easily

If she breathes, she’s a thOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!

Woman are more valuable than males. I mean i literally would let the entire Soviet army rape your male ass just to resque a 12 years old virgin female

The sacred/temple whore Shamhat in Gilgamesh is a very important figure as well for what she symbolizes.

Then you are a bigot. Good day.

Good job user. SIG

Helen of Troy of course

Odette from In Search of Lost Time

Doesn't she symbolize giving up nature and wild ways or something for the wild man and acceptance of society?

Yes, I'd say she contains his wildness, and transforms it. Just as the vagina contains the penis and transforms the seed into new life. The creation of life implies responsibility and structure to support it, ultimately giving rise to civilization.
