Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ asked Jeff Salyards:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Jeff Salyards Good question. Jaime and Cersei Lannister? (A collective "Ewwwwww" was heard). The doomed power couple, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth? Those doomed sweethearts of the moors, pre-Emo Heathcliff and Catherine? Hmmm. . . sensing a theme here. . . I must not like happy endings for my couples.

It's hard to say, really. Even if I restrict the answer to just fantasy, there are plenty of options. But opening it up to all of fiction, wowzer, it's crazy challenging. I will say, even if I can't zero in on one couple, and my doomed suggestions notwithstanding, I like my couples complex, well-rounded, sometimes even confusing or contradictory, where the course of love or lust doesn't necessarily flow smoothly, and they have a lot to overcome. Or just snarky and entertaining (e.g., Beatrice and Benedict).
