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.
Â
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.)Â 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)?

Don’t be Clueless and stick to the original.
