What do you think?

I noticed while researching lifes of authors and poets that most of them died in their youth. 2) Even most of writers of romantic novels don't have any love affair in their life.

Means were,these people weaved their own imaginative world in their novels.How they expect their life to be?Which type of partner or lover they want? Tell me your views about it.

Well, a person usually craves for what he does not have!
Maybe the authors and poets tried to fulfill their desires by giving them words.

Or it can be only that they found the one (s) they wanted but the other (s) didn't like them equally? They didn't find it necessary to advertise their loss?

Or perhaps they did never find a person of their own choice.

Or perhaps they wrote for other reasons like money?

Or perhaps they never felt the need of a partner, that's why they never had a romantic affair?

Well, you see there can be many answers...

As for what kind of partners they did want? I think I can't answer this definitely. You see even famous writers are also like us, human-beings, what they would be wanting to see in their partner (if) can't be that much different from us. Think of what you would like to see in your partner.

Perhaps it would shed some light if you were to indicate which authors and poets you were researching. Perhaps dying young was more a feature of the age in which they lived, and their social class/status. It's only really in the past 70 years or so where there has been a massive leap in life expectancy thanks to developments in medicine, working conditions and nutrition. If you're researching 'classic' literature and poetry then the fact that people died young is not such a surprise.

As for those who didn't find 'love'; how would you know? Maybe they found love but it was unrequited, and that's why they were able to write so poinantly about it? Again, depends on the age in which they lived, and the social structure of that age. Just because you loved someone didn't mean that you could marry them, and affairs would have been absolutely out of the question.

I think you are rightin this case beacuse one of the writer died by suffering from cold and even in novels like Wuthering Heights,most of the characters died of fever and tuberculosis.
