Possible Romantic Love

Is it possible for humans to find true and lasting love relationships? Not everything in love is always surrounded by hearts and red flowers, sometimes love could be mysterious and changeling. In the play by Shakespeare Midsummer Night's Dream love plays a major role, all the characters seem to have a connection with love. Shakespeare gives us many situations, scenes, and speeches about love and its complicated part.

The complication of love between Hermia and Lysander has her father, Egeus, and Theseus at a bad standing, because Egeus demands Hermia to get married to Demetrius. Demetrius is deeply in love with Hermia, and Hermia loves Lysander, here is where the love complication starts. While all four have the conversation Lysander speaks these lines to soothe Hermia when she despairs about the difficulties facing their love, specifically, that Egeus, her father, has forbidden them to marry and that Theseus has threatened her with death if she disobeys her father. "The course of true love never did run smooth" (1.1 line 134) Lysander explains to Hermia. It is believe that their love is complicated has been present both physically and mentally. The complication leads them to run away to Lysander's aunt's house. The dearest friend Helena tags along and tells Demetrius, which makes the obstacle for the lovers more difficult.

Helena, Hermia's childhood friend, is obsessed with Hermia because both Lysander and Demetrius want her. "Through Athens I am thought as fair as she. But what of that? Demetrius thinks not so .He will not know what all but he do know. And as he errs, doting on Hermia's eyes, So I, admiring of his qualities. Things base and vile, holding no quantity, Love can transpose to form and dignity .Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind."(1.1. lines 227- 235) Distressed by the fact that her beloved Demetrius loves Hermia and not her, Helena says that though she is as beautiful as Hermia, Demetrius cannot see her beauty. Helena adds that she dotes on Demetrius in the same way that he dotes on Hermia. She believes that love has the power to transform "base and vile" qualities into "form and dignity" that is, even ugliness and bad behavior can seem attractive to someone in love. This is the case, she argues, because "love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind" love depends not on an objective assessment of appearance but rather on an individual perception of the beloved. These lines prefigure aspects of the play's examination of love, such as Titania's passion for the ass-headed Bottom, which epitomizes the transformation of the "base and vile" into "form and dignity".

Therefore, love shows all its complications and explanations of love by being difficult. But love will always run its course depending on the humans and how they decide to drive it. Love
