In keeping with the spirit of Valentine's, Dark and Stormy has assembled a few favorite tortured lovers. Here are some of the most deliciously brooding heros and passionate heroines, all caught up in a love which (for some reason or other) they can never have. Yet they cannot resist the siren call of the beloved, and despite the consequences, abandoned themselves to Love - though some of our couples
do have to wait for the afterlife to find eternal bliss.
In no particular order: My Favorite Tortured Lovers.
Maxim de Winter and his poor little bride fight the ghost of
Rebecca.
Antony and Cleopatra - perhaps the most famous tortured lovers of all time, played by real life tortured lovers, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor
Bram Stoker's Count
Dracula and his soulmate, Mina, take ill-starred love to paranormal extremes.
Saving my favorite for last, Cathy and Heathcliff give us all the tear-jerking drama a true romantic could crave in
Wuthering Heights. And nobody broods like Olivier!
