When Morticia Addams said, "Life's not all lovely thorns and singing vultures, you know," and "Hearts are wild creatures, that's why our ribs are cages."

One thing I didn't expect from The Song of Achilles but I ended up loving was how calm the relationship between Achilles and Patroclus is.

Like they're deeply in love. They're responsible for all those dramatic but lovely and passionate quotes about love. "I could know him by touch alone", "When he died, all things soft and beautiful and bright would be buried with him", "he is half my soul", all of those.

But the relationship itself is so relaxed. They are deeply in love and its obvious but there are so few dramatic, passionate moments like the ones you see in other romance stories, at least moments to do with them as a couple. Most dramatic moments are not about them per se but rather about what's going on around them (the argument about Briseis is one of the few conflicts between them, because most conflicts are more them vs everyone else). They're so confident and self-assured in their relationship and their love for each other that there's no need for drama between them. They're passionately in love but they're also not dramatic about it.

They're passionately in love but the relationship itself is so relaxed. They're like an old married couple. And I love it.
