Often, the theme of fate plays a role in foreign love stories. In 'The Scarlet Letter', the relationship between Hester Prynne and Arthur Dimmesdale is affected by the idea of fate. Another theme is the power of love to transform. In 'Beauty and the Beast', the Beast is transformed by love. And the theme of unrequited love is also present in many stories, like some of the relationships in 'Sense and Sensibility' where characters experience love that is not fully reciprocated.
Well, the theme of passion is quite common. In 'Wuthering Heights', Heathcliff and Catherine's love is extremely passionate. Longing is another theme. In 'Anna Karenina', Anna longs for a different kind of love than what her marriage offers. And the theme of redemption can also be found. In some love stories, the characters find a way to redeem themselves through love, like in certain interpretations of 'A Walk to Remember' where the boy becomes a better person through his love for the girl.
One common theme is cultural clash. The characters often come from different cultural backgrounds, which can lead to misunderstandings as well as interesting exchanges. For example, different dating customs or family expectations.
One common theme is the loss of individual freedom. In many foreign dystopian novels like '1984', the government restricts people's actions, thoughts, and even emotions. Another theme is the dehumanization of society. For example, in 'Brave New World', people are genetically engineered and conditioned to fit into specific roles, losing their true humanity. Also, the control of information is a big theme. As in 'Fahrenheit 451', books are burned to limit people's access to knowledge.
The theme of discovery may also be common. Characters in these stories might discover new aspects of themselves or their partners during the course of the love story. It could be a discovery of a hidden talent, a new side of a personality, or a shared interest that they didn't know before. This discovery enriches their relationship and makes their love more profound.
One common theme is the power of true love to overcome obstacles. For example, in 'Romeo and Juliet', their love overcame the feud between their families. Another theme is sacrifice. Lovers often sacrifice for each other's happiness. Also, the theme of self - discovery through love is present. When in love, characters often learn more about themselves and grow as individuals.
Adventure is a very common theme. The Legion is known for its far - flung operations in different parts of the world, so stories often involve legionnaires going on exciting and dangerous expeditions. For example, they might be sent to explore uncharted deserts or fight in remote battles.
Another theme is sacrifice. Characters might sacrifice their own desires or even their future for the sake of their loved ones. In some action - oriented anime love stories, a character may give up their power or a chance at something great to protect their lover.
One common theme is the disregard for social norms. In many 'love is blind' stories, like Romeo and Juliet, they ignored the long - standing feud between their families which was a huge social norm at that time. Another theme is sacrifice. Lovers are often willing to sacrifice a great deal, whether it's their own comfort, their relationships with others, or in extreme cases, their lives. For instance, in some historical love stories, people would give up their wealth and status just to be with the one they love.
A theme of self - discovery is often there too. The foreign OC, being in a new and exciting environment with BTS, often discovers new things about themselves, like their hidden talents or their ability to adapt to new situations. This can be seen in fanfictions where the OC tries new things related to the K - pop industry like dancing or singing with BTS.
One common theme is self - acceptance. Boys in these stories often have to come to terms with their feelings and identity. For example, in many stories, they might initially struggle with being attracted to another boy in a society that may not be fully accepting.
Since I don't promote or discuss erotic content, let's talk about common themes in general love stories. One common theme is sacrifice. Lovers may sacrifice their own interests for the sake of the other.
