What are the characteristics of famous love and romance novels?

Most famous romance novels focus on the relationship between the two main characters. They often have a strong emotional journey, from initial attraction to various obstacles and finally to a resolution of their relationship. For example, in 'Pride and Prejudice', Elizabeth and Darcy face class differences and personal misunderstandings.

Famous romance novels often have strong emotions. The love between the characters is intense, whether it's passionate like in 'Wuthering Heights' or more subtly growing like in 'Pride and Prejudice'. They also usually have interesting characters. For example, in 'Romeo and Juliet', Romeo and Juliet are young and impulsive, which makes their story so tragic and engaging. Another characteristic is a vivid setting. In 'Outlander', the Scottish highlands setting adds to the charm and mystery of the love story.

Often, famous love novels have strong emotions. For example, in 'Pride and Prejudice', the love between Elizabeth and Darcy is full of pride, prejudice, and then the gradual melting of these feelings. Another characteristic is complex characters. In 'Wuthering Heights', Heathcliff is a very complex character with his deep and sometimes cruel love.

Famous lesbian romance novels usually have strong female characters. Since the relationships are between women, the protagonists are often independent, complex, and self - aware. In 'Orlando', the main character's journey through different genders and time periods shows her strength and adaptability. The settings can also be very important. Some are set in historical periods, like Victorian England in 'Fingersmith', which adds a layer of complexity as the characters have to navigate their relationships within the constraints of that era's social norms. Also, the language in these novels can be very evocative and sensual when it comes to describing the relationships. It helps to convey the depth of the emotional and physical connection between the female characters, as in 'Rubyfruit Jungle' where the descriptions of Molly's relationships are vivid and full of life.

One characteristic is the strong influence of Indian culture. For example, in many novels, family values and traditions play a huge role in the romantic relationships. Arranged marriages are often a topic, and how love can develop within or in contrast to such a system.

Most famous romance novels often have strong and complex characters. For example, in 'Pride and Prejudice', Elizabeth Bennet is intelligent and independent, and Mr. Darcy is proud yet has a good heart. These characters' growth and development are central to the story. Also, they usually have a central love story that goes through challenges like misunderstandings, as in 'Romeo and Juliet' where family feuds create huge obstacles for the lovers.

Well, often they focus on themes of self - acceptance. For example, in 'Call Me by Your Name', the protagonist has to come to terms with his feelings for another man in a society that may not be fully accepting. Another characteristic is the exploration of intense emotional connections, like in 'Maurice' where the love between the two men is complex and profound.

Typically, they have a strong male lead, who is often brave, handsome, and has some sort of noble quality. For example, in 'The Scarlet Pimpernel', Sir Percy Blakeney is a dashing hero who risks his life to save French aristocrats during the French Revolution.

Many famous Portuguese romance novels often have a strong sense of place. They are deeply rooted in the Portuguese landscape, culture and society. For example, the descriptions of the cities, the countryside and the sea are often integral to the story. Another characteristic is the exploration of complex human relationships. Love is not always straightforward but is intertwined with family, social class and moral values.

A common characteristic is the element of tragedy. In Chinese romance novels, many love stories end unhappily. For instance, in 'A Dream of Red Mansions', the love between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu doesn't come to a happy ending. This reflects the harsh reality of life and the restrictions of the social environment at that time. Also, these novels usually have a large number of characters, and each character has its own story and role in the overall plot, which makes the whole story very complex and multi - faceted.
