Beware the Romantic Couples of Literature!

How about a theme wedding from a famous romantic couple? You dress like Juliet, your lover like Romeo? Also want a happily-ever-after relationship? BEWARE! Many of our popular relationships in literature have ended in disaster.

We’re listing here some of the well known romantic couples in theatrical productions you probably know. This is what became of these marvelous loves.

+Aladdin and Jasmine: Yes, that’s a good one, lots of other people are evil, but the true loves never let us down. Not with Disney in the mix.

+Annie Get Your Gun: Annie and Frank Butler live glamorously, conflict mightily but end happily together.

+Anything Goes: Here’s a great romp onboard ship with the FBI chasing one of our men, great 1938 costumes and two romances reaching the happily-ever-after stage.

+Beauty and the Beast: Like Aladdin and Jasmine, it has to be positive. It’s Disney.

-Brigadoon: Up for a Scottish village life, dancing, kilts and music? Think twice, our hero leaves the lovely maiden behind.

+Bye Bye Birdie: Well of course—But despite dream of glamour, we find out with our lovely heroines that the plain ol’-same ol’ guys are the best for long-term relationship.

+Cinderella: Well yes, if your feet are small enough.

-Crucible: Beautiful and sad, the lovers are destined to destroy and be destroyed.

-Cyrano: Most beautiful romance which never can be. We see Cyrano and Roxanne live to be celebate old people, withered and unfulfilled.

+Damn Yankees: Here’s another one in which we find that despite the excitement and lust of possibility, Joe, our hero, returns to his middle aged wife and mundane life–and is glad of it.

-Dracula: Never

+Fiddler on the Roof: Beautiful tale of good people loving each other through incredible tragedy and pain in society.

+Fools: Comedy of 1900s Russian country village, and in comedy, the boy gets the girl.

+Grease: You can dress like 50s Thunderbirds and Pink Ladies, and still end happy and in love.

+Guys and Dolls: Everybody happy here, this one is OK.

+How to Success in Business: Satire on corporate America in which the people with absolutely no morals but lots of charm end happy.

+Importance of Being Ernest: Sure, go for the turn-of-the-last-century rich people clothes, enjoy.

-Jekyll and Hyde: Stay away form this image, As the reliable and curious scientist Jekyll gets more involved with his own drug experiments, tragedy ensues. Pretty obvious moral to the story.

+Jungle Book: Well it’s all about Simba and Nala, so you can be lions if you like.

-King and I: So romantic, and made more so as the King dies and the British school teacher goes home.

+Little Shop of Horrors: Well, they probably would have done fine without the plant…but then would there be a play?

+Little Women: Long, gentle story of love. In which father leaves his family without a way to support themselves, to join the military. And lots of people love each other unconditionally.

+Much Ado About Nothing: This is a romantic comedy of love and forgiveness. Consider planning to have your love killed because you think she might have been unfaithful. But it ends well. Shakespeare’s comedies always do.

+Music Man: Happy Happy Happy.

+My Fair Lady: Here’s another one that ends well, despite the obtuse behavior of the professor.

+Oklahoma: Yes, of course Laurie and Ado Annie both get the right guy.

-Othello: Othello and Desdemona—another tragedy.

-Our Town: This small-town turn-of-the-last century classic is a Romeo and Juliet knock-off. A tragedy.

-Peter Pan: Well…depends on your version. We think Peter has a fatal flaw you better watch…always wants to be a boy, never a man.

+Pippin: A boy growing up, experiencing all the growing pains of becoming a man. He ends being happy with a calm, responsible family relationship.

+Pirates of Penzance: All the couples get together, just as they should.

-Romeo and Juliet: Tragedy in which both of the lovers end their lives.

+Solid Gold Cadillac: 40′s corporate play in which the good guys are rewarded and romance ends happily.

+Sound of Music: Well yes, they climbed over the mountain together and escaped the evil Nazis. And didn’t lose a single child.

+Taming of the Shrew: Powerful show of strong personalities—who end up happy together, as in all Shakespeare’s comedies.

+Tom Jones: Tom the rake, out to have sexual relations with as many women as possible, finally settles down and becomes faithful.

May your marriage last long and be filled with joy!
