The numbers revealed

So, these are the characters behind the numbers. Some more reasons why they can be seen as the main characters of LOST:

These six are also part of the series from the first to the last day, from the first to the last episode. Each of them makes a decisive contribution to the course of events.

Jack is clearly the main character of the series, with whom it begins and ends (in a strong symbolic cycle).

Locke is his counterpart from the beginning, though not his enemy. And even if in the end he isn't in his own body anymore, he is still responsible for what happens on the island after his departure.

Kate is Jack's Achilles heel from the beginning and at the same time his hold and the reason why he does almost everything he decides to do.

Claire influences the others both in their presence and absence. She is the reason for Kate to return to the island.

Sawyer is the actual hero of the series even though he presents himself as an anti-hero. He mainly influences what happens on the island, especially after the Oceanic 6 left.

And finally, Hurley is the one who brought the numbers into play, and he's the one who takes Jacob's place, who can talk to the dead, and who brings everyone back and makes the decisions when no one else does.

The numbers in LOST - some examples:

- Gate 23 for flight 815

- $23,000 to the guy who delivers Kate.

- 23 as the speed dial that Locke is supposed to dial for Charles Wittmore.

- For four years, Locke was in a wheelchair.

- 16 weeks is the time the jackpot Hurley won was in the pot

- The "J" on Locke's suicide note for Jack looks like a four.

- 108 bottles of wine were sold by the monastery from which Desmond was fired and through which he met Penny.

- It takes 108 minutes for the energy to discharge.

- 4 8 15 16 23 42 must be entered into the PC

- 4 8 15 16 23 42 standing on the hatch

- 4 8 15 16 23 42 were the numbers with which Hurley won the lottery

- 5 (=23) is tattooed on Jack's arm.

- Jack counts to 5 to stop being afraid (Kate also)

- Hurley should set the mirror in the lighthouse to 108 degrees.
