These are just a few of the similarities/differences i have noticed when looking at highbrow and lowbrow Lit:
Highbrow: these characters tend to be somewhat socially awkward and many of them are not easily relateable (who can really relate to Malloy). They are typically not someone you would identify yourself with. At least not me. And finally, there's usually the duality of right vs. wrong being played out in highbrow novels through their characters. (Examples: Mussert, Malone, Moby Dick's Main, etc.)
LowBrow: These characters are presented in an easily understandable fashion. They tend to almost be relateble. Or should i say, someone you can look up to, seek to emulate or deisre to become. Through these characters, the battle between good vs. evil is usually waged. (Examples: Robert Langdon, Haroun, Santiago, etc.)
