Movies
March 25th, 2008Movies of passionate love relationships between men and women have always held a special place in our cultural heritage. Movies about great love affairs have been made from the classic stories of Lancelot and Guinevere, Heloise and Abelard, and Romeo and Juliet. These classics are remembered as symbols of physical passion and spiritual devotion. Although they are most often regarded as love stories, the literary foundation of these movies is that of tragedies – and tragedies of a most telling kind.
