Okay now that ...Mine would have to be Frankenstein. Okay now that you're saying, "what love story." I'll explain myself. It's not the traditional girl boy love story it the love and loyalty a creator has for his creation. It's mixed with fear, confusion, longing, and a bit of contempt for a beloved monster Frankenstein has created with his own hands.(As a writer I understand this part.)Tamara L Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07084695386450817313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22537768.post-91106205078941784252009-10-20T14:36:09.848-07:002009-10-20T14:36:09.848-07:00Fred & Ginger are NOT to be confused with Kerm...Fred & Ginger are NOT to be confused with Kermit and Miss Piggy!

The favorite romantic characters for me...Hi Julie,<br /><br />The favorite romantic characters for me are undoubtedly Heathcliff and Cathy from Wuthering Heights. Why? Because on paper, they are completely opposite: the stableboy and the rich young lady. What unites them? Passion...an undefinable chemistry that transcends 'class,' education, etc. Something that joins them way beyond death and the vagaries of a world Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22537768.post-27244243736079250242009-10-20T08:58:40.233-07:002009-10-20T08:58:40.233-07:00Thanks for the comments!

I'm a guy, and I enjoy romance, because I enjoy the complexities of human relationships as portrayed in fiction. Romance is a huge force in these relationships—and has been a huge force in my own personal life,Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01317561917487132989noreply@blogger.com
