In all my favourite books, movies, TV Programmes, I have noticed a recurring pattern. My favourite couples are never ever supposed to be together and there is nearly always a love triangle, which always makes me side with the forbidden love =].
In Twilight, Bella and Edward are not supposed to be together due to the fact that he is a vampire. Even though Jacob is seen as a better choice, as he is in fact alive, I love the Bella/Edward pairing a lot more.
In Buffy The Vampire Slayer, I love Buffy and Angel and even though Angel is a vampire, that isn't really seen as the reason that they shouldn't be together. The reason they cannot be together is the fact that if he experiences one moment of true happiness, he will become Angelus his former evil vampire self. Again there is another love triangle!!!! In season six, Spike falls in love with Buffy. His love is mainly one-sided as Buffy is still in love with Angel and probably always will be.
In Charmed, Piper and Leo can't be together because he is a whitelighter and it's forbidden by the elders, who are scared that if a whitelighter and witch were to have a child, the child would be too powerful. Dan is the guy Piper dates when Leo has to leave because the elders have said he has too. When Leo comes back there is a lot of tension between Dan and Leo and they basically tell her that she has too choose.
In Wuthering Heights, Catherine and Heathcliff make a really good couple, but they were never given a chance as Heathcliff was a gypsy and not seen as acceptable for Catherine to marry. Instead Catherine marries Edgar Linton.
In Blood and Chocolate, Aiden and Vivian can't be together as he is human and she is a loup-garoux (werewolf). Gabriel is seen as a better choice for her as he is leader of the pack and is also a loup-garoux. Even though I like the Vivian/Gabriel pairing better, this book is another example of forbidden love.
So i'll leave this here, as I am starting to take up a lot of space, like a certain Captain Libeka ( ILY really lol)

lol, Thanks a lot. Its nice to know that I am loved :|
I totally agree. Its such a reacurring story line and cyet all those tv shows/books/movies are all so different.
I noiced the 'forbidden love' thing as few weeks ago as well! Its totally Jinxy. I want to find more books that have that same theme.
You, however are a genius at working out that they all have a love triangle! I AM SO PROUD, -wipes away tear- my little blue haired girl if growing up!
Captain Libeka
I know what you mean- I guess people have a certain something for the "forbidden" love scene- look at Romeo and Juliet for example. This element just makes the plot more intriging, more intense. Imagine a hypothetical Twilight- without the vampires. Voila. No storyline. Bella and Edward's relationship is based on his condition, (for lack of a better word( and therefore lies the dilemma of the narrative.
Sorry for the rant :)
P.S- Blue-haired girl growing up *snort*. She's just been reading far, far to many books than is healthy.
RavenclawGal, it's nice to know you think so highly of me. =P
You girls really are good - no-one else could analyse these great books better - from your perspective -as yr 9 gals in 2008 - ask yourselves how do you know so much? Reading. Lots of web 2.0 - I am going to sit down and have a serious meeting with you great gals.
