"Angel experienced both redemption and romance in the arms of one least likely to love a bloodsucker-vampire slayer Buffy Summers, and in the process learned that a heart without a beat can still be broken" (Buffy the Vampire Slayer:Buffy and Angel #1 Romance Hall of Fame Sci-Fi Couples Category).
The relationship between Buffy and Angel is beyond incredible because she slays vampires and Angel is a vampire in this situation. It is remarkable of how Buffy gave her heart to him and this was probably a huge moment for the both of them. Angel returned his love for her and they somehow knew the consequences for their decision that were coming. Angel and Buffy wanted it to work out, but they saw the pain that was coming to get them. Love is an emotion you cannot block out. It is a passion that a person has to decide either to take it all in or suffer with the rejection. Here, Buffy and Angel took that risk to save themselves from wondering what life would be like if they turned such an opportunity down.

That's a really great quote! Do you think that, if you were either Buffy or Angel, you would believe that the risk was worth the result?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jackie. The quote, "Is the Juice worth the squeeze." always comes to mind in times like this. It's kind of a quarry between the regret that the decision to follow love was for the wrong reasons or the regret of not pursuing love in the first place. In this case, doesn't Angel loose his soul because of the moment of happiness that he has with Buffy? Does that justify his love?
