One of my favorite plays is Twelfth Night. And I love it because the Duke Orsino falls in love with the PERSON of Viola, not with he sex. In fact he is embarrassed, it seems, by his attraction to Viola has servant. This play is not about capitulation- it about the strength of the person at the core. The beauty of a person, beyond sex. A very fine concept I think. When I listen to the intellectual passion of John and Abigail Adams it is clear they both have this same love of the person- beyond sexual love. I think also of Persuasion- where two people also love the nature of each other. The CHARACTER of each other. That seems to cross centuries. Maybe it is a rare but universal phenomenon.
