list of best epic love story novels

Some novels from the list are 'Gone with the Wind'. Scarlett O'Hara's love for Ashley Wilkes and her complex relationship with Rhett Butler is a large part of this epic story. Also, 'Anna Karenina' portrays the tragic love of Anna, who defies society's norms for love, and her relationship with Vronsky is a roller - coaster of emotions.

Sure. 'A Tale of Two Cities' has an epic love story within it. Sydney Carton sacrifices himself for the woman he loves. Then there's 'The Great Gatsby'. Gatsby's love for Daisy is all - consuming, though it ends tragically. And 'Lolita' is not really about a proper love but rather an obsession, so we should skip it in terms of positive epic love stories.

One of the best is 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen. It tells the story of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. Their relationship is full of misunderstandings at first, but gradually they come to understand and love each other. The social context of 19th - century England adds depth to their love story.

Sure. 'The Notebook' by Nicholas Sparks is a wonderful epic love story. It follows the relationship of Noah and Allie over the years. Their love is tested by time, family, and illness, but it endures. It's a heart - warming story that makes you believe in true love.

Definitely 'The Aeneid'. It's a Roman epic that tells the story of Aeneas, a Trojan hero. It has had a great influence on Western literature. Then there's 'Beowulf', an old English epic that features the hero Beowulf fighting monsters like Grendel. It gives us a glimpse into the Anglo - Saxon culture.

One characteristic is the use of obstacles to heighten the drama. In 'Gone with the Wind', Scarlett faces many challenges in her love life, from the war to the different natures of the men she loves. Another is the exploration of different types of love. 'Outlander' shows not only romantic love but also loyalty and friendship within the context of love. And these novels often have memorable dialogue. In 'A Walk to Remember', the words between the two main characters are simple but deeply touching, which helps to convey the depth of their love.

Sure. 'The Iliad' is a great one on the list. It's an ancient Greek epic that tells the story of the Trojan War. It has heroic characters like Achilles and Hector. Another is 'The Odyssey', also by Homer, which follows Odysseus' journey home after the war, filled with adventures and challenges.

One of the great Pakistani dramas with a love story in 2017 was 'Yaqeen Ka Safar'. It had a beautiful love story intertwined with the journey of self - discovery and social issues. The chemistry between the lead actors was palpable.

The time and space that their love spans can make it epic. If their love story unfolds over many years, across different continents or even different eras, it gives a sense of grandeur. Also, if their love has the power to change the world around them, like bringing peace between warring factions or changing the way society views certain relationships, then it is truly an epic love.

Among them, 'The Lord of the Rings' is extremely popular. It has influenced generations of fantasy writers and has a huge fan base all over the world. 'A Song of Ice and Fire' is also very popular, especially with the success of the TV adaptation 'Game of Thrones'. People love its complex plot and unpredictable twists.
