Talk:Vivienne de Tabris/@comment-31631793-20200218094834

To me, there are several reasons why the couple ending is the best:

1. Guillaume gets to progress as a character. I was initially scared that Guillaume would prove shallow as like Gerald says, he only loves Vivienne for her beauty and doesn't really know anything about her. My fear was that if I told him of the curse he would simply walk away. But, on the contrary, he gets to reflects on his past trials (and understood they were pointless), show true courage (after all, true courage can only be shown in face of fear, which he clearly shows when you told him about the solution), and accept Vivienne as she is even with her curse.

2. Geralt says the ritual can only work if both people have true feelings for each other. Even if Vivienne was understandably too scared to really pay attention to Guillaume, the fact that the ritual works is actual proof that she has at least burgeoning feelings for her.

3. Even if Vivienne doesn't go right away on her travels, that doesn't mean she and Guillaume won't eventually do it, especially since she tells him about her wish after the curse is lifted. I would tend to think that Guillaume would agree to travel with her.
