Why Love Triangles Should be Used

So this week I was reading around some blogs and I found a post on the blog “What to Watch” titled, What’s so Great About Love Triangles. Basically the post was bashing on the idea of love triangles and why they should exist but I entirely disagree.

Now the problem with love triangles isn’t that they exist, it’s that most love triangles are done so poorly it just makes them looks really bad, and make no sense. Now don’t get me wrong, personally I have never been a really big fan of love triangles, but some books do need them to keep their story going.

See the author said that love triangles give an unnecessary drama, which in some cases is true but not always. See I feel that when love triangles are done correctly it can just the right amount of drama to make keep a story going.

See a lot of the time when love triangles are used, the author just kind of throws it in there just because they can. But when a love triangle is written correctly and keeps going through the story and to the climax it usually works really well.

And the funny thing is that love triangles can still be used in non-romance books. A lot of science fiction and fantasy authors use love triangles to add another problem that their main character has to deal with, including the main force of evil.

So in my opinion love triangles should still exist in writing because some books do need them. But it’s that love triangles are an overused cliché, and are usually written poorly because they are an afterthought.
