Victoria Couples | Star-crossed

In many stories, a recurrent theme can be found which is vastly used to portray love: star-crossed lovers. The phrase has its origin in Shakespeare's most famous play, "Romeo and Juliet", and refers to lovers whose relationship is doomed to fail.
While I was watching this show with all its love subplots, I couldn't help but notice the resemblance of these stories with this theme. Most of the couples that appear in "Victoria" find obstacles to be together, and ultimately face a tragic end as if it was set by fate itself. The only couple that doesn't make its appearance in this video is the one of Victoria and Albert, because unlike the rest of the couples, they got some sort of happy ending.
On a side note: The video includes huge spoilers from the show, so beware; I recommend watching the show beforehand to avoid any. Also, as much as I tried to make justice for every couple, more attention is probably given to Vicbourne. I couldn't help myself, because it was the first couple I felt drawn to at the beginning of the series.
All that said, I hope you enjoy the video.
