All sexual romance fundamentally involve the transformation of “The Maiden” archetype into one of her ultimate forms.
1. “The Happy Ending” : Maiden becomes Matriarch (The Office, Eowyn/Arwen from LoTR)
2. “The Sad Ending”: Maiden becomes Crone (Titanic, first ten minutes of “Up”)
3. “The Tragic Ending”: Maiden becomes death (Romeo and Juliet, Ophelia from Hamlet)
The reason why Millennial woman can’t do romance is that they can never imagine transforming OUT of maidenhood. But it is the nature of maidenhood to TRANSFORM.
Malfoid’s popularity seems to stem from the idea that she will eventually become wifejak, if the art I’ve seen of domestic Malfoid/Harry is any indication.
