In the play A Midsummer’s Night Dream by William Shakespeare, many of the characters relentlessly pursue their goals in the face of illogical decisions, and, while fictional items such as the “love-in-idleness” flower are used to explain the character’s sudden love for each other, the play does illustrate how love and ambition can lead to unforeseen consequences. For example, when Puck accidently anointed Lysander’s eyes with the “love-in-idleness” juice, he started a chain of events leading to Lysander and Demetrius fighting over Helena while Hermia is treated as though she is worthless. Moreover, at one point, Lysander and Demetrius even threatened to duel each other when Lysander awoke after being anointed with the flower 's juice and said, "Where is Demetrius? O, how fit a word is that vile name to perish on my sword" (61). This shows how the character’s love for certain other characters, and their ambition to pursue said love, can lead to the destruction of previous relationships and lead them to make dangerous decisions.
Junior define love that love is should be based on both. Even though the Aurora and Yunior did not talk too much at the first hand. But then they continue the relationship between

In Act 3.2, Oberon tells Puck, “I want you to interrupt their search by makinging it foggy. Do not allow them to find each other… Once they are asleep, place this potion in Lysander's eyes to remove the pollen you mistakenly placed. ”(16) With that power of control by being the Fairy King, he is controlling his servant to have him things right between the couples. Oberon controls Puck by telling him what to do to the couple so they won't be able to find each other and fight.
Love is a powerful emotion that will either have positive or negative consequences on an individual's emotional and physical state depending on the actions of oneself and others. In Shakespeare’s play, “Romeo & Juliet”, there exists two households named Montague and Capulet that bear a grudge towards each other. Nonetheless, a Montague, Romeo, and a Capulet, Juliet, both became lovesick. Their love lead to an entanglement that inevitably kills both of these young lovers, all because of one character. Lord Capulet’s free will is most responsible for Romeo & Juliet’s deaths because his selfish arrangements forced Juliet to pursue actions, such as marriage, she otherwise would not have attempted, which is demonstrated by Shakespeare’s use of foreshadowing.
he had Puck drug them for his enjoyment and to help out Helena who he takes pity on. He takes pity on her because no one loves her, and because he feels bad about Demetrius brushing her off. Lysander, Demetrius, Helena, and Hermia have a crazy and complicated love square that gets even more complicated throughout the play. Being crazy in love is a major theme of A Midsummer Night’s dream by Shakespeare. This is shown by many characters throughout the play.
This is the main problem that Romeo and Juliet face being together. Love is the most to blame for the tragic deaths of Romeo and Juliet because it causes people to care for others and make impulsive decisions. Romeo’s cousin, Benvolio loved and cared about Romeo so he helped Romeo when he was sad. After Romeo was dumped by his first love, Rosaline, Benvolio says, “Compare her face with some that I shall show, And I will make thee think thy swan a crow” (Shakespeare 1.2.86,87). Benvolio is telling Romeo that if they go to
Various factors cause the lovers to run away together. Hermia and Lysander 's love causes them to leave Athens. While Egeus is trying to convince Hermia to marry Demetrius; Lysander objects, saying, "I am, my lord, as well deriv 'd as he, / As well possess 'd: My love is more than his . . . I am beloved of beauteous Hermia" (1.1.99-104).
People for centuries have had some type of power. Some choose to use the power for the betterment of the world, others are overcome with their power. This causes them to cheat, lie, and betrayed friends around them. Having the ability to control people, or being rich can and most likely will change a person. There is many examples of this over the ages.
This applies to Titania, Helena, and Hermia. Titania disrespects her husband, who is also the king. This results in her embarrassment, the loss of her changeling child, and she receives pity from Oberon. Helena also experiences loss when she pursues Demetrius, which was disproved of during this era. The losses that she has is a loss of
Even though Oberon claims to love Titania, he proves this inaccurate when he proclaims, “Having once this juice,/ I’ll watch Titania when she is asleep/ And drop the liquor of it in her eyes./ The next thing then she waking looks upon— / Be it on lion, bear, or wolf, or bull,/ On meddling monkey or on busy ape—/ She shall pursue it with the soul of love. ”(Shakespeare 2.1.160-168). This is an example of Titania being bullying by false love.
“It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages” (Nietzsche). Love is brought together by two people who truly connect and mean something to one another. They must be friends before they can be loved ones. This quotes relates to Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare because the love in this play happens leads to marriage too fast for them to be truly in love. If this play were to continue after the fifth act, their marriages would most likely be unhappy.
In a” Midsummer’s night dream” Oberon continues to be a significant character throughout the play, but the question remains is Oberon the cause of all problems? Oberon is the root of all the problems in the play because. Firstly, Oberon wanted the Changeling Indian boy, which is why Oberon went to extreme lengths to get the boy, even if it meant destroying the lives of the people around him. Oberon is the root of all problems because he chose to use the love-in-idleness potion on Titania and the lovers, this is shown through this quote “Fetch me that flower; the herb I shew'd thee once: The juice of it on sleeping eye-lids laid Will make man or woman madly dote Upon the next live creature that it sees”. In this quote Oberon is asking Puck
