The Bronte Sisters made the list. My Senior Thesis Paper saw Heathcliff as a Hero. I got an A- and a good story to go with it.

That\u2019s what\u2019s wrong with you. You should be kissed and often, by someone who knows what he\u2019s doing.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Estella and Pip \u2013&nbsp;<\/strong><em><strong>Great Expectations<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018The unqualified truth is, that when I loved Estella with the love of a man, I loved her simply because I found her irresistible.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ron and Hermoine<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;<em><strong>Harry Potter<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a clatter as the basilisk fangs cascaded out of Hermione\u2019s arms.

We talk, I believe, all day long: to talk to each other is but a more animated and an audible thinking. All my confidence is bestowed on him, all his confidence is devoted to me; we are precisely suited in character\u2014perfect concord is the result.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Romeo and Juliet<\/strong>&nbsp;<em><strong>\u2013 Romeo and Juliet<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Romeo, Romeo, whereforart thou Romeo?\u2019 and \u2018But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
