What are some good sterotypical jewish characters? so far i've got
Bloch from In Search of Lost Time
mr krabs
squidward
plankton
Alberich
Based. And Loki.
Watto from Star Wars 1. Big nose, Jewish hat, the Jew side burns, Jewish accent, always trying to rip people off, rubbs hands, raised the Aryan ideal until he broke free.
Glanton
the grand inquisitor

Rasputin from Anastasia.
Can't think of anymore so have some Judensau - Anti-Semetic medieval folk art.
Gobseck is an interesting character from Balzac's novella simply called Gobseck. He's a super rich pawnbroker and of course he loves money. But the interesting part is that, when Gobseck explains why he loves money so much, you realize Balzac doesn't just follow the stereotype about Jews and money. In some way he mixes one sterotype with another: behind the attraction towards money, there's the love for knowledge.
Another jewish stereotype from french lit would be Mangeclous. Some would have said Solal (supreme chad) but I don't think it's actually a jewish stereotype, rather a unique character. Mangeclous is his crazy stinky uncle. I haven't read the novel where's he's the main protagonist so I suggest you see for yourself. It's called Nailcruncher and you can find Orwell's review about it.
