“What hast thou done? Thou hast mistaken quite and laid the love juice on
some true love’s sight. Of thy misprision must perforce ensue some true love turned, and
not a false turned true.” What is true love? Does love at first sight really exist? How has
love and marriage changed over time? All of these questions will be answered with my
opinions.
True love can be deciphered in many different ways. Some may say they have
found true love, but most likely have not. True love could be doing something that you
don’t want to do for the other person, but if you truly love each other than you should just
both want to do it. It could also be spending all day together and loving every minute of
it. Someone would have to be married first before they could truly say they have
experience true love. True love is hard to find so I can understand why people say they
have found it when they themselves know they haven’t. True love is a very special thing
and shouldn’t be messed with. The play reminds us of that when Robin puts the love
juice on Lysander instead of Demetrius.
There is that fairy tale moment when the prince and the princess see each other for
the first time, and they say it’s love at first sight. There have been many stories about it,
but does it really exist? And even if you believe that it is love at first sight does the
person you’re looking at feel the same way? There is know way of truly knowing, but
maybe you can just tell by the look in their eye. A Midsummer’s Night Dream showed us
how easily you can be tricked into thinking you love someone. Like when Demetrius
and Lysander both “fall in love” with Helena. If it is real and people have experienced it
then I feel like their relationship would last longer than those who haven’t experienced it.
