It must be love of another order if one of them is hardly present. Even after he dies, she waits for him for that one meeting they would have much later in the future. They were destined to be doomed right form the beginning but they didn’t let that stop their love. Considered to be one of the best plays of Shakespeare, Hamlet focuses on the psychologically scarred Hamlet whose father was killed by his uncle Claudius. Throughout the entire play the one person who stays unquestionably loyal to Hamlet is Ophelia.

Slow, steady, and sexy, this relationship is one that gets better with every page. We love how the different layers of each character develop over time and the way Olive Smith and Adam Carlsen bring out new sides of each other, sometimes parts they didn’t even know they had. A bad ending that is actually a happy beginning is the premise behind this swoon-worthy romance novel by Jasmine Guillory. One of our favorite parts of their connection is how they each maintain their individuality over the course of their relationship. They enhance and complement each other instead of „completing“ each other, which is #CoupleGoals at its best. Much like Book Lovers, the relationship between the pair is so palpable because of their supportive (and playful!) partnership.

• That being said, fictional couples have a powerful pull on you.
• Of course, some of these relationships are downright impossible which has led to a few unrealistic standards.
• Only teenagers when they meet and barely knowing one another for a few days before the story concludes, their love is one that represents youthful passion and folly.
• Though they may not have always seemed meant to be, the old immoveable object vs. irresistible force situation applies to them in spades – and makes their tortured relationship impossible to ignore.
• Considered to be one of the best plays of Shakespeare, Hamlet focuses on the psychologically scarred Hamlet whose father was killed by his uncle Claudius.

In high school, there was no character I could relate to more than Remy from This Lullaby. I had witnessed plenty of divorces, and I thought love was a bunch of crap, just like Remy. But then Dexter comes along — a nerdy musician who slowly changes her perspective. She thinks it’s just a summer fling, but she realizes how much she’s fallen for him when she loses him.

When it comes to romance, Jane Austen is the name among names. If you pull up any list of fictional couples, these two are always going to be close to the top. Headstrong and independent Elizabeth Bennet and the snobbish Fitzwilliam Darcy did not start out on a high note. However, their romance would become legendary and the archetype of what is known as the power couple.

It seems fitting that I would end this post the same way it started. This is another great Austen novel and for completely different reasons that P&P. This is the story of a love lost as Anne decided to reject Wentworth on the advice of her friends. She would spend several years regretting this decision when her love came back into her life. I loved the relationship between these two characters, the culmination of Austen’s growing maturity as a writer. One of the greatest classics of all time stars one the most destructive couples in all of literature.

Westley and Buttercup’s love story is a whirlwind of events that all started with a simple “As you wish”. Though it seems their journey came to an abrupt and sad end, their reunion (shown above) is one of the most iconic scenes in film history. Miss Piggy’s been chasing Kermit the Frog since the debut of The Muppet Show. Though she’s constantly rebuffed, Kermit eventually reciprocates her feelings and they get married.

One romantic storyline that J.R.R. Tolkien actually did write into the main story was that of Eowyn and Faramir. Though Eowyn previously had a thing Euromeets – Writing Portfolio for Aragorn, it’s clear that her relationship with Faramir is far richer and deeper than the infatuation she felt for Aragorn. While some other couples from Shakespeare will undoubtedly be appearing later on our list, this more lighthearted duo definitely deserve a spot. Appearing in the comedy “Much Ado About Nothing,” Benedick and Beatrice actually have a refreshingly modern romance for a work penned in the late 16th century. It’s a classic will-they-or-won’t-they dynamic, with the two characters seeming to alternate between being interested in one another and hating each other from scene to scene.

Love Lessons From Fictional Couples

Further complications arise when the narrator learns that Louise has cancer. Louise’s husband gives the narrator an ultimatum to leave in exchange for the best possible medical care. Although the road to happiness is not always smooth, this novel flies by due to the exquisite prose of the author. Perhaps the most famous lovers in literature and beyond, Romeo and Juliet have no become synonymous with romance – even though the pair met a desperate end.

From their meet-cutes to their up-and-downs, fictional couples make you feel invested in a story. You want to know how things progress and whether a happy ever after is in sight. Below are a few of these couples, whose journey of love can make anyone go “awww”. We appreciate a good conversation in the comments section.

Greatest Romantic Couples In Literature

They push each other to do their best while still accepting each other when things get difficult and don’t go according to plan. It’s common to think of great writers as congenital loners – the iconic isolated genius too egotistical or socially inept to have fulfilling personal relationships. Everyone has a fictional relationship they aspire to have. They make you believe in love and actively work towards claiming even some semblance of what you see on TV. Andy’s a bumbling goofball akin to a golden retriever while April’s a goth-like gem full to bursting with sarcasm and apathy.

Kickass Literary Power Couples

The ones that showcase complex, non-pathetic, non-contrived romantic relationships? The ones that are so beautiful and heartbreaking that we’re still reading them decades and even centuries later? Those are the love stories that really deserve our attention. This is a rather unique love story written by one of the literature’s best contemporary authors. The twist to this story is that the gender of the narrator is never revealed.
