Goodreads asked Ellen Byron:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Ellen Byron Hmm... I'd have to go with Cathy and Heathcliff, although Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy are right up there with them. In re-reading "Wuthering Heights," I was struck by what a jerk Heathcliff basically is. Yet the passion between the couple is mesmerizing. Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy have a more traditionally romantic relationship, and my attraction to it is greatly helped by that glorious image of Colin Firth emerging from the pond in a very sexy yet 18th century way.
