The Halo-weekend countdown begins! If you want to be supper cute and dress up with your significant other, but have no idea what to be, I got your back. For all the nerds like me who love to read, here are ten couples from literature that would definitely make you and your BF/GF stand out at any Halloween party and will certainly get you lots of likes on your Halloween Instagram post.
1.) Miranda and Ferdinand from Shakespeare’s The Tempest.
If you want to go all out, hold a chessboard as a prop for your costume.

2.) Sancho Panza from Miguel de Cervantes’ Don Quixote.
Although they have a hero and sidekick relationship rather than a romantic one, they make a great pair.

3.) Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy from Austen’s Pride and Prejudice.
Who wouldn’t want to be a couple that gets 10 thousand pounds a year (that’s about 500,000 to one million US dollars)?
