The tragedy of this pairing is that both parties feelings are not their own. Both of them were shot with an arrow to manipulate their emotions, Apollo does not truly love her as he is forced to, while same goes to Daphne as she does not truly hate him (hence the conflicting emotions). I feel sorry for them, especially Daphne bc at the end of the day this is just a game to the gods, her feelings towards Apollo in general did not matter, so long as Apollo got the punishment from Aphrodite.
