Sorry...I really didn't think about it. I'll remember next time.

This thread was awesome and I just remembered it.

This post is primarly because I have been reading various works of Poe recently, so I will say the Lady Ligeia and the narrator (her husband) in Poe's "Ligeia". He spends two pages just describing her eyes! I love the way he describes the dark abbey he refurbished as a home by the way. Sounds like a classic haunt.

I'va always loved the Arthurians- Tristian and Isolde, and Morgaine leFey and her domestic love with Uriens. But my all timefavorite love was a love triangle:

Edgar Linton, Catherine Earnshaw Linton, Heathcliffe

I am about to embark on attempt to paint Crimson and Renatus as the greatest lovers ever!

Fictionally speaking, of course.

This will test my ability to convey the emotions of love not only from the male perspective (because duh! I'm male), but the more challenging perspective experienced by women.

Uh...any of you women care to help? I mean, explain how you feel in love? Ah, what am I asking? I should just go read Emily Dickinson, right? :S

Othello and Desdemona. Because, if Shakespeare ever wrote a gothic tragedy, this was it.

Alright, fine. Not because of that.

I think I admire the complete and utter tragedy of it: that two successful and loving people can be utterly undone...not despite their love, but because of it.
