A midsummer night's dream
What aspects of love can you identify in the play?
The theme of love plays a very important role within the play. The different characters show different types of love and respect for each other, but all the love in the play is not necessary true love, due to Oberon's love potion.
The main type of love is romantic love, like the love between Hermia and Lysander. Their bond together is so strong that they vowed to do anything to be together. "If then true lovers have been ever crossed, it stands as an edict in destiny." The language they use toward each other is poetic and loving, as they talk about cupids, wishes, marriage and other such things.
