alt=
By No Author
Some of the works in this graphic include The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Harry Potter, and Game of Thrones. The male characters outnumber the female characters in each of these works, especially in The Hobbit, which had no female characters at all.

And as you would expect, male characters not only outnumbered their counterparts, they also had a worse survival rate. 7gerdr2.jpg
