I don't know the exact main characters. However, it's possible that there are characters who represent different aspects of romanticism. There could be a young, passionate lover who met an untimely death, and an older, more jaded romantic who has seen the decline of the romantic ideals. There might also be characters who are trying to preserve the memory of the dead romantics.
Since I haven't read the novel, I can't say for sure. But I'd assume there would be characters who were romantics in life and are now dead. Maybe there's a writer or an artist among them.
