Biography

This is love in the sense of "being in love". (This is distinct from sexuality - platonic Courtly Love is also Eros.) Lewis calls sexuality "Venus", and while it can concur with Eros, on its own it's not a love, just desire (not to be confused with Lust, which is this desire expressed in a sinful way). Eros does not have to be reciprocated. It is also not inherently tragic. In fact, if it's reciprocated and true, the couple tends to be happy in most dire circumstances, as long as they're together (Lewis specifically mentions laughter as an indicator of true eros). But! If it's reciprocated, but not true, love martyrs, masochism tangos etc. will abound.
