Well, howzabout that?

Love vs. Honor is the most dramatic love story of all - defined by an innate tug of war between what you want to do and what you should do. There is something coming between you and love. Perhaps it's a religious conviction, a previous commitment, family, patriotic duty, or deep belief that good things only come at a terrible price.
If you're looking for examples you can start back with the Greek myths where heroes were often forced to give up love and the comforts of home for battles in far-off lands. In Charles Dickens' "Great Expectations," Estella chooses to obey her benefactress and break Pip's heart, even though she deeply regrets doing so. Political obligations and previous relationships tear Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman apart in the unforgettable film, "Casablanca."

Date: 2002-02-02 01:24 pm (UTC)I took the test and got the same answer. But the test is also designed for single women under 28. (I already HAD my 10 year reunion -- or rather I don't think we had one at all or at least I never heard about it and my parents were still living in that town). I've already settled down, I've never been dumped (well ok there was this one guy who wandered off into la la land and never came back but he certainly didn't give me any reasons, just vanished without a trace), etc etc. So I was just having to make up a lot of answers. No wonder I don't think the result suits me at all :(
