It plays ... with making the antagonists as compelling as the "heroes".
This is one of the reasons I love Orson Scott Card's early books -- he's also a big fan of the sympathetic antagonist (up until Pastwatch... then he starts going in for the eeeevil villainous villain, which is part of why I don't much read his new stuff anymore).
My favorite romance plot is, "two people do something big and important,learn something about themselves and each other in the process, and oh, fall in love";
definitely. Do you have any good recs along those lines? :)
