The two main characters in The Bourne Identity are Jason Bourne and Marie St. Jacques. Both characters are very likeable. Although we dont know about Bourne's previous life for most of the book, we can see how he acts after his memory loss and can tell that he is a good person. Readers of the book really learn to root for Bourne after reading the beginning when he struggled for nineteen weeks to try to regain his memor because you really want him to find out who he is. Even though he abducted Marie, he made sure she was safe the entire time. One example of him trrying to protect her is when they were at a restaraunt and a man walked over to the table they were sitting at to speak to Jason. Jason said to Marie, "A man's coming over here. A fat man, and he's afraid. Don't say anything...And dont look at him...For your own good,. There's no point in him being able to identify you."Marie is very likeable as well because she cares about Bourne. She realizes he abducted her because of the situation he is in, and she is greatful that he saved her life. Many times Bourne tries to tell Marie to leave so that she can stay safe, but she cares to much about him, so she stays with him and helps him figure out what is going on.
