That's funny, because I just asked my FB group the same question so that I could put together quotes for my newest Writer's Hand Journal, WORDS OF LOVE (check out the current Goodreads Giveaway for it!).
Anyway, I think that a favorite (real) couple comes to mind first, and they actually played one of my favorite fictional couples: Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Their real-life love affair was legendary. Steamy. Passionate. Volatile. And their onstage/screen romance was equally passionate. Their Cleopatra and Marc Antony was HOT. And their Martha and George in 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf' was masterful.
Yup, I bet you didn't see that one coming. You expected me to choose Romeo and Juliet or Tristan and Isolde or Jamie and Claire, right? I like the realness of Martha and George, the grittiness, the raw intimacy of their relationship. You know they were great lovers at one point in the early years, but now they have dug past the pie-in-the-sky romance and are into the ugly reality of their truth. It's a tough story, and they're not a romantic couple, but they're interesting and complicated and cruel in ways that make you feel bad for them.
Okay, your turn. Who do you like?
