The 7 Most Romantic Couples in History

by Sam Curren Sam

Responses have been written about it; It has won the most unusual alliances and overall odds. Like an elephant on a rampage (not very romantic simile but you get the picture), didn't bother to see who lies in its path, and completely devour the individuals involved. Yes, we are talking about this thing called Love. Decades later, Cupid's arrows have sometimes affected two human beings so deeply, passionately, and hopelessly in love that society and its rulers have been taken out of the way. And we have eaten their immortal love stories, secretly jealous of these couples who found their matching bouts or soul mates. And encouraged to find his own prince or princess.

Here are 7 of the most romantic couples in the history of mankind.

  • Romeo and Juliet. Possibly the most famous pair of lovers of all time, this is a love story by William Shakespeare that has inspired generations of lovers and continues to do so to this day. Rome and Juliet are synonyms for a true, eternal love story and for the greatest sacrifice of love - one's own life.

  • Pyramus and Thebes. Written by the Roman poet Ovid in his work 'Metamorphoses', it is a tragic love story that set the tone for William Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet', possibly many centuries later. In this story, the two young lovers are next-door neighbors but cannot openly meet due to their respective warring families. They met secretly and agreed to have a meeting under a mulberry tree one day. Through a series of unfortunate events and massive misunderstandings, both Paramus and Thebe die within minutes of each other, each believing each other dead.

  • Cleopatra and Mark Antony. Likable, memorable, and highly romantic, this is a love story whose emotional appeal did not dim over time. Not surprisingly, William Shakespeare portrayed the story of true love in his play. Cleopatra, a beautiful, beautiful, intelligent, and powerful woman, was the last Pharaoh of Egypt, while Mark Antony was the Roman general who succeeded his slain friend Julius Caesar. The two immediately fell in love and their union made them a powerful ruling power, putting Egypt in a position of domination. As with all love stories, his course also never went straight, and the false news of Cleopatra's death Antony put himself on his sword. The Queen of Shattered Egypt followed suit, being unable to live without her lover.

  • Salim and Anarkali. The Mughals, who ruled India from 1526 to 1858, built not only the largest monument of love ever there - the Taj Mahal - but also created many memorable love stories. Among them, the most popular story was the handsome prince Salim (as-yet-uncrowned king Jahangir) and the beautiful courtesan Anarkali, the courtier of his father's palace. Their love story is similar to legends - unlikely alliances, insurmountable social obstacles, and parental opposition. And, the final, heartbreaking ending when Anarkali is made a living wall, even when Salim looks helpless in prison.

  • Tristan and Isolde. Isolde, daughter of the King of Ireland was to be married to King Mark of Cornwall. King Mark sent his nephew Tristan to Ireland to escort him to his bride-to-be carnival. However, destiny had planned otherwise. Both Tristan and Isolde fell in love with each other. However, Isolde married King Mark but never stopped loving Tristan. King Mark came to know of this and drove Tristan out of Cornwall. The heartbroken Tristan went to Brittany where she met Brittany's Etsy. He eventually marries her but never consumes the union. In the end, Tristan died due to lying on the part of Ilsal. Shattered Isolde died soon after.

  • Odysseus and Penelope. It is a Greek love story marked by unimaginable devotion and sacrifice. Soon after his marriage to Penelope, Odysseus goes to battle and is separated from her for the next twenty years. But each patiently awaits the return of the other. During these long years of separation, Penelope is rapidly reduced to no more than 108 zealous suitors, even though she has little hope of returning to her beloved husband. Odysseus, on his part, lures a beautiful witch's advances simply to return to his wife and son.

  • Heloise and Abelard. The world-famous love story in the early 12th century commemorates the obsession between a monk and a nun. Peter Abelard was a philosophical likeness in Paris commissioned by the canon of Notre Dame, Fulbert to tutoring his niece, Heloise, a serious girl. Abelard and Heloise fall madly in love, and a child was conceived as a result of this secret affair. When Cannon falters over their love affair, Abelard decides to send Heloise to a convent to escape his uncle's wrath. However, the uncle was sure that Abelard was amusing himself with his niece
