So I caved and took a freakin’ quiz. So sue me. Now I know what’s keeping me from love–I’m having an innate tug of war. Isn’t that just like me to fight with myself!
Love vs. Honor is your primary love story!
Love vs. Honor is the most dramatic love story of all defined by an innate tug of war between what you want to do and what you should do. There is something coming between you and love. Perhaps it’s a religious conviction, a previous commitment, family, patriotic duty, or deep belief that good things only come at a terrible price.
If you’re looking for examples you can start back with the Greek myths where heroes were often forced to give up love and the comforts of home for battles in far-off lands. In Charles Dickens’ “Great Expectations,” Estella chooses to obey her benefactress and break Pip’s heart, even though she deeply regrets doing so. Political obligations and previous relationships tear Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman apart in the unforgettable film, “Casablanca.”
