A Midsummer Night’s Dream through its tangled twists and turns depicts the beautiful fact that “The course of true love never did run smooth” (1.1.136). The best example is in the love between Demetrius and Helena, this unconventional path they took is not a smooth one but in fact in the end once the distant dreams of the forest dissolve in our minds eye, does their true love prevail. Shakespeare claimed at the end of the play, “That you have but slumbered here / While these visions did appear.” (5.1.442).

Shakespeare in A Midsummer Night’s Dream dealt with the theme of love and its four types, including loves many complications such as disappointment and confusion. The play rotates around different forms of love, two of them being friendship love (Phileo) and romantic (Eros) or true love. Love is the most important theme of the play and the asymmetrical love seen in the play between the four Athenians and romantic encounters cause conflict within the play.

What Will Be Your Ending? Humans only get one life. The way you live it shows what you wanted out of life. Sometimes we are humiliated and let that take over our lives and sometimes we learn from our mistake, which causes us to be humble. Shakespeare shows us that we have the choice on how our life will turn out.
There was also logical sequence. One thing always led to another. When Robin Goodfellow accidently places the drops of the flower in the eyes of Lysander rather than Demetrius, one thing led to another.
