That of a youth who believes that love conquers all is Haemon's conduct in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Prince Haemon loves Princess Antigone, his beloved first cousin to whom he is betrothed. He is young enough to believe that differences can be resolved by behaving respectfully and presenting convincing, reasonable evidence to support an opposing view. Perhaps he has that view because he actually is really in love despite his bride-to-be being chosen through an arranged marriage and having a shocking family background.
