Goodreads asked Keitha Smith:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Keitha Smith For me it's pretty hard to go past Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy - especially as I am a big Pride and Prejudice fan. I've actually thought a lot about why this romance has had such enduring fascination and satisfaction for so many people and I think it has a lot to do with the progression the characters make internally to get to the point of togetherness. It's less about overcoming outer obstacles and more about overcoming inner ones - the very pride and prejudice that the title suggests. A change of heart or a change of mind (or both!) is so much more powerful than a simple change of circumstances. That and the fact that Elizabeth's wit and outlook make you want her to find her happy ending.
