Answer: No, I don't think it's unrealistic or overly romantic because, you know, we get movies like Twilight and 50 Shades of Grey... so this one's a lot more realistic and, well, healthier.
Explanation: This is a true love story: a story of two very flawed humans learning to forsake their own wills, to facilitate the good of the other, because they first and foremost love goodness. Their love story is reasonable and yet transcends reason. It is made up of the deepest stuff of human existence: something deeper than feeling and thought; emotions and logic puzzles—it is made up of the will. Elizabeth lets virtue guide the choices she makes; and the result is not a happy ending, but a joyful beginning.
Hope this makes sense. :)
