Desire
I came to the conclusion that most of the great lovers in Western literature are masochists. Think about it for a moment, Romeo and Juliet, Tristram and Iseult, Lancelot and Guinevere, even as far back as Paris and Helen, all of these duets were destined for tragedy. The authors empowered their characters with the knowledge that their love would have dire consequences, yet they allowed their characters to love.
While our western culture often equates love with beauty, we also equate love to pain. Perhaps our culture has mixed and perverted love, pain, and beauty so that we tend to be left more with desire than anything else.
At the very least it is something to think about.
