Trixie Belden vs. Nancy Drew
Nancy Versus Trixie Trixie Belden is the antithesis of Nancy Drew, and in fact, Julie Tatham confessed to not liking the character of Nancy Drew. While Nancy Drew lives in a perfect world with plenty of money and frequently uses her father's name to get herself out of trouble, Trixie Belden lives in a world where she must do housework and other odd jobs to earn much-needed money and must rely only upon herself to get herself out of trouble. Trixie Belden also must face teasing from her brothers, who are often very obnoxious and think they know better than she does. Sometimes Trixie's brothers do know better than she does. Trixie even has trouble with math and must be tutored by her brothers during a vacation trip. Conversely, Nancy Drew never seems to have trouble with anything, and except in the earliest Nancy Drew books and in some of the more recent titles, Nancy Drew never makes mistakes.
Trixie and Nancy are two completely opposite characters, so it is not surprising that many people like Trixie better than Nancy and vice versa. The Trixie fans feel that Nancy is too perfect, while the Nancy fans prefer the exalted status of Nancy Drew. I am obviously a fan of Trixie Belden.
I loved reading Trixie Belden because Trixie's realness goes beyond that of any other series character. All of the Bob-Whites' recreational activities were the type of fun activities that any family from the 50's would do. I could easily relate to Trixie's life on a farm since I live in an area that's very "country-ish." Trixie is much more easy to relate to, but who do you like better?
