Date: 2013-01-04 09:13 pm (UTC)There are some stories where I think this plot is really well-done (I'm a fan of the Gothic romance where Our Heroine thinks she should choose the Good Guy but really she's attracted to the Bad Guy but it turns out the Good Guy is actually a villain), but I agree it's disappointing that there aren't more varieties of story out there.
It's important to recognize tropes, because they say something about society and expectations.
