Goodreads asked Judith Wermuth-Atkinson:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Judith Wermuth-Atkinson Since I teach literature I have read repeatedly many literary works. And every time I read a book I already knew, I found new reasons to like some of the characters or the relationships between them. Thus, it is hard for me to say which one is my “favorite fictional couple” - I love all the fictional couples I know. However, the enormous transformative power of love in the relationship between Sonya and Raskolnikov in Dostoevsky’s "Crime and Punishment" has never ceased to amaze me – love that represents a most profound compassion for the human being.
